    1. Also, I have the Ball Plantation Home near Aliceville Alabama. If anyone has more Ball family information, I would appreciate it

    1. Freeda, I only have the BALL Line back to 1750. William Ball. b. 1750, Culpepper, VA. m. to Sarah Agnes Martin. d. 1805, Laurens Co, SC. His son Jeremiah Ball, b. 1775, Culpepper, VA, m. to Elizabeth Saunders. d. 1806 in SC. Jeremiah’s daughter, Elizabeth Ball b.19 Jul 1807 Laurens Co, SC. m. to Isaac B. Garrett. she died in Campbellton, GA 7 Mar 1873. I have a note that says Elizabeth is from the same line of Balls as George Washington and his Mother, Mary Ball.

    2. Irememberred your note about the Washington family link. I think my Ancestry info may go a little further back, but I’ll have to log in to see. My dna has matched to numerous cousins in that part of the family.

  3. Yep, and I qualify for membership in the Nat’l Society of Washington Family Descendants, through the Balls and down through the Dyers. Yea.

  4. I’m not sure my Ball family is in this DNA, but I now live in my GGG grandfathers plantation home built in 1820 …. Parks E Ball Plantation House.
