Genealogy of our Ball Family in America

Due to the hard work of several Ball cousins, our Ball family line can be traced back to the 1600's.  Our immigrant ancestor appears to be William Ball (ca1640-1696), who came to Virginia from England.  Our Ball family tree can be found on Rootsweb.com by clicking here.  Special thanks goes to Dr. Ronald Ames Hill, author of "The Ancestors and Descendants of Reuben Ball", and James D. Ball, who presents his findings on his website "The Ball Family of Carter's Run" (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~jdball/).
