Her name appears as witness to an agreement between Newman Brockenbrough and wife, selling four negroes to Maj. Wm. Ball, Jan. 27, 1716 (L.)

      "Easter Tuesday, 1745, Mr. Geo. Payne was chosen vestryman in room of Col. Wm. Ball, dec'd." (Lanc'r Co. V. Bk.) The Vestry Bk. of Christ Church, Lanc'r Co., contained, July 16, 1740, the names of Wm. Ball and Wm. Ball, Jr. Oct., 1740, Capt. Wm. Ball was paid 122 lb. tobac. for "three bottils of Wine," and 255 lb. do. "for finding Joseph Hoggen a coffin and other necessaries while he was on the Parish." Among other items, "to George Payne, 20 lb. tobac. for ? gallon of Brandy for Joseph Hogen's Burying." The Vestry elected Easter Tuesday, 1741, were Col. Ball, Maj. Ball, Mr. James Ball, Mr. Bertrand, Capt. Wm. Ball, Mr. Jos. Chinn, Mr. Shearman, Mr. Rawleigh Chinn, Mr. Jesse Ball, Mr. Chichester. These Wm. Balls are evidently father and son. Col. Ball was the Surveyor of North'd Co. 1724.

      Children, all named in Wm. Ball's will:
      + 25. i. WILLIAM,4 b. --; d. 174--; m. Feb. 17, 1723, Margaret Ball.

      + 29. ELLEN, b. --; m. (I.) July 3, 1734, Richard Chichester; (II.) June 12, 1747, Wm. Downman.

      (*) The will of WM. BALL, dat. Aug. 14, 1744, pro. Lanc'r Co. Mar. 8, 1744-5, entails his land in five sections to his eight male heirs, making the will too lengthy to be copied in full. 1. To his gr. son, Wm. Ball, his Lanc'r Co. lands on which the testator then lived, and his male heirs, for want of which successively by entail to his gr. son, Williamson Ball, son of Wm., dec'd; gr. son, Benjamin Ball, gr. son, Richard Ball, gr. son, William Ball, son of George; gr. son, George Ball; failing all of which, to his heirs at law. 2.

      (+) Glasscock. An English name of antiquity. If the threadbare tradition of the "three brothers" is correct, there is another family of this name in Va., which descended from "three brothers of the name who came from France with La Fayette, fought through the Revolution with him, and located in Va., married and raised families on the James River." (Power's Sangamon Co., Ill, p. 331.) Lieut. Thomas Glasscock of Va. served in the Continental Line. George Glasscock was foreman of the Grand Jury, Rich'd Co., Nov. 5, 1739, which presented Rev. Thos. Blewitt for "swearing and being Drunk." Bishop M. names the Glasscock family as among the prominent ones in Richmond Co. from 1692 to 1775. (v. also BALL 32 and 101.) Robert Glasscock rec'd 200 ??. Eliz. Co., next to Cheeseman's land, 1635.
