    Notes:

    William Ball was born in 1615, studied law in London and served in the Royal Army in the Civil Wars under Charles I. With the regicide in 1650, he lost the greater part of his English estates and fled to Virginia. He had married Hannah Atherall (Atherold) 2 July 1638 in London and immigrated to Virginia with his wife and three children--Hannah, Joseph, and William. He did not apply for a land grant in Virginia for eight years, waiting for the restoration of the 1660 Stuart kings. He settled in Narrow Neck (now Ball Point) on the west side of the Corrotoman River in 1663. Ball operated the vessel Merchant between England and Virginia as a tobacco merchant. He acquired 2000 acres in Virginia, served on an Indian peace-treaty council, and administered Lancaster County affairs as a Colonel. He built a Georgian mansion, Millenbeck, and led the defense of the county to help quell Bacon's Rebellion. One of his land grants for 300 acres adjoined the land of Daniel Fox, who married his daughter Hannah. He was a Warden of Christ Church in Lancaster and also owned land in Rappahannock County. He served as a Burgess from 1699-1173 and was George Washington's great grandfather. ? He died at Millenbeck in 1680 and left his estate to his wife and two sons.

    THE BALL FAMILY FROM THE MT. VERNON LIBRARY:
    The Ball family line connects to George Washington through his maternal lineage. The first member of the Ball family to come to America was George Washington's great-grandfather, William Ball (1615- c.1680).
    In Virginia, Ball began acquiring land, engaging in commerce, and taking part in colonial politics. He served as a major in the militia of Lancaster County, Virginia, and as a member of the House of Burgesses from 1668 until 1676 and again from 1676 to 1677. During this time period, Ball had dealings with John Washington, George Washington's paternal great-grandfather.
    The four children of William Ball and Hannah Atherold were Richard Ball (died in Maryland in 1677), William Ball (II) of Virginia, Hannah Ball (later the wife of Colonel David Fox, and Joseph Ball (1649-1711). ========================================================
    WILLIAM BALL IMMIGRATION RECORDS FROM LANCASTER COUNTY:
    William's earliest immigration date was recorded in Lancaster County, VA-24 OCT 1653. Certificate granted to Capt. Henry Fleet for importation of 21 people, including William Ball. (DB 1, p. 89)
    Lancaster County, VA-19 MAY 1657. Certifcate for land issued to William Ball for transporting himself four times and for transporting Hugh Davys and Richard Ball once. (Orders 1656-1666, p. 16, Sparacio, p. 10).
    Lancaster County, VA-2 JUN 1657. Land Patent to Domick Theriott of Lancaster County, land on Clapham's Creek and adjacent to Edwin Conway, due for importation of 32 persons, including William Ball four times and Richard Ball. (PB 4, p. 102.) These were probably some of the same headrights named in the certificate issued to William Ball above, and apparently sold by William Ball to Domick Theriott.
    Ancestry.com File #27291 indicates place of birth as Wiltshire, England and place of death as Plantation "Millenbeck", Lancaster County, Virginia. This file also gives surname of wife as ATHEROLD. [LDK]

    Colonel William BALL probably left England soon after the death of King Charles I, circa 1650. [SOURCE: #27291 Ancestry.com]

    President George Washington directly descends from Col. William Ball. The Chesebro's descend from Col. William Ball's son Richard Ball. The Chesebro's relationship to George Washington from the Ball family is 4th cousin X times removed depending on their generation beginning with Lawrence Edmund Chesebro', Jr., November 13, 1937. [SOURCE: Larry Chesebro']

    Immigrated in April 1635 from England to Virginia in the ship "Planter". {Must have returned to England} Evidence shows that he married (in London, England) 2 July 1638 to Hannah Atherold. He was a soldier "under Fairfax", and served in the Royal Army and took part in the {English} Civil Wars, remaining true to the royal standards & serving faithfully under the banners of the ill-fated King Charles. When the Royal Army was defeated, Colonel Ball lost the greater part of his considerable estates. In company with other royalists he fled to Virginia, the most loyal of the king's possessions, and last to surrender to Cromwell's authority. [SOURCE: Larry Chesebro']

    Notes:

    Sir Richard Williamson is said to be the ancestor of all the Virginia Williamson's. Richard first came to Virginia in 1638, but returned to England shortly thereafter. In 1641,he returned to Virginia for good. His 1641 passage was paid for by Ambrose Bennet. Settling in Isle of Wight County, Richard soon began acquiring property. He named the family home "Cobham Hall" after the home, in Kent, of Sir Joseph Williamson. The land was purchased in 1641.

    Family:
    Richard married Margaret 1614 -1618 in England. The children are often stated as born in the Isle of Wight, but NO CHILD born before 1641 could have been born in Isle of Wight. It is probable all the children were born in London, England. The children are:
    1. Richard Williamson
    2. James Williamson, 1621-1656
    3. John Williamson
    4. Dr. Robert Williamson, 1625-1670
    5. Henry Williamson
    Sources disagree regarding the wife of Richard Williamson. Some state she was Margaret Brown and others state she was Margaret Sherwood. It is known his wife's first name was Margaret, as a Margaret was named the widow and administrator of the estate of Richard Williamson, deceased, in a land transaction dated 21 September 1655. It is a last name that is in question. Margaret Sherwood's parentage is not reliable as one of the 9 children of Sir Richard Sherwood and Margaret Bandwyn. Of these 9 children, Margaret Sherwood is the only child who does NOT have an independent christening source and is not recognized by the parish.
