He was born in Middlesex, England no birth year. William and his second son William both died in 1729. He may be a son of George Ball as he named his first son, George.
He married Margaret Sampson, daughter of Lewis Sampson. The name of Sampson descends for many generations in their descendants.
There are some genealogist that has tagged the father of the children listed below as Elias Ball and wife Elizabeth Harleston. I truly believe this is incorrect. I find no descendants named Elias for one thing and families did name their children for each other. It is more logical that the Mother of the children is Margaret Sampson and being the reason for the name of Sampson to be used many times in the descendants. Can someone shed proof on this family?

I don't have a date as to when he entered the Revolutionary War, but he made his "Will" dated 13 March, 1777 in the Parish of St John in the Providence of Georgia. If he did not return from the war he had left his family with legal documents to be executed for his family. His wife, Rebecca was one of six named as executors of his estate.
