NEHGR notes for "Genealogy of Conn Families"
Alling Ball was at New Haven as early as 1643. His first wife was Susan ____; and he subsequently had a wife Dorothy____ who died Feb. 22, 1689-90. In 1646 he was described as brother of the wife of Thomas Fugill, and of the wife of James Russell who died in 1671. He was probably a blacksmith. William Ball, perhaps a brother, took the oath of fidelity in 1644. Alling Ball was a captain of the military, and a prominent inhabitant of New Haven. He died Nov. 21, 1716.
Letter from Dr. Joseph L. Druse to Mrs. Mary (Ball) Scukanec, 6 Jan 1978:
I was doubly delighted to get your letter today; first becuase it proves that the US Post Office can really function - you wrote the letter yesterday - and second because it enables me to make a lot more Ball cards for my file. I'm happy you had a chance to get to Connecticut at Christmas time.
The real problem with the Alling - Edward relationship is the lack of evidence. Alling left a will in which he names his children; Edward is not included. It must be said that it is not infrequent for that to happen, when there exists some other form of settlement of land or property by a father on a child. There is no evidence, however, of any other such settlement between Alling and Edward. A second consideration is that none of Edward's children bear any names of Allings children. It was very common for family names to go down the generations. The name Alling never shows up among Edward's descendants.
It is also to be noted the Edward married Abigail Blatchley or Blakeslee; her mother was Susannah Ball, a sister of Alling Ball. It is perfectly possible that the knowledge of a relationship on the mother's side somehow in later generations got transfered to the father's side.
One of the reasons I've been spending so much time in England on the seventeenth century Ball wills was to find out more clearly where our colonial Balls came from, and perhaps clear up such myseries as this problem.
{Conversation with Dr. Druse 11 Feb 1997}
Stated that only three Edward Ball's show up in English court records he's researched. None seem to be Edward of New Jersey.
New Haven Historical Society, Ancient Records Series, Vol. 1, 1649-1662
"AT A COURT HELD AT NEWHAUEN THE 7TH OF AUGUST, 1655"
". . . Elizabeth Godman was called before the Court, and told that she lies vnder suspition for witchcraft, as she knowes, the grounds of which were examined in a former Court, and by herselfe confessed to be just grounds of suspition, wch passages were now read, and to these some more are since added, wch are now to be declared:/ Mr Goodyeare said that the last winter vpon occasion of Gods afflicting hand vpon the plantation by sickness, the private meeting where of he is had appointed to set a day apart to seeke God: Elizabeth Godman desired she might be there; he told her she was vnder suspition, and it would be offensive; she said she had great need of it, for she was exercised wth many temptations, and saw strange apparitions, and lights
aboute her bed, and strange sights wch affrighted her; some of his family said if she was affraide they would worke wth her in the day and lye wth her in the night, but she refused and was angry and said she would haue none to be wth her for she had her spirituall armour aboute her. She was asked the reason of this: she answered, she said so to Mr Goodyeare, but it was her fancy troubled her, and she would haue none lye wth her because her bed was weake: she was told that might haue been mended: then she said she was not willing to haue any of them wth her, for if anything had fallen ill wth them they would haue said that she had bine the cause:/
Goodwife Thorpe informed the Court that concerning something aboute chickens she had formerly declared, wch was now read, after wch she one time had some speech wth Mris Evance aboute this woman, and through the weakness of her faith she began to doubt that may be she would hurt her cowes, and that day one of her cowes fell sick in the heard, so as the keeper said he thought she would haue dyed, but at night when she came into the yard was well and continewed so, but would neuer give milk nor bring calfe after that; therefore they bought another cow, that they might haue some breed, but that cast calfe also; after that they gott another, and she continued well about a fortnight, but then began to pine away and would giue no milke and would sweat so as she would be all of a water where-euer she lay, wthout or wthin; then she thought there was some thing more than ordinary in it, and could not but thinke that she was bewitched; God helped her to examine herselfe, and to be humbled for her vnbelief, and to seeke him twice or thrice to deliuer the beast, but upon the day that John Knight was executed (hauing more freedome than ordinary) she sought God earnestly to resist the euill spirit, and if the beast was ill by that meanes he would deliuer it, and presently the Lord answered and ye beast was well and continewes so. About a weeke after, she went by Mr Goodyeares, and there was Eliza: Godman pulling cherries in ye streete; she said, how doth Goody Thorpe? I am behoulden to Goody Thorpe aboue all the weomen in the Towne: she would haue had me to the gallowes for a few chickens; and gnashed and grinned wth her teeth in a
strang manner, wch she confesseth was true, but owned nother aboute ye cows:/"
[More interesting testimony follows, but since I'm getting tired of
typing, I'll skip ahead to Allen and Goody Ball's testimony]
"Allen Ball informed the Court that one time Eliza: Godman came to his house and asked his wife for some butter-milke; she refused and bid her be gone, for she cared not for her company: she replyed, what, you will saue it for your piggs, but it will doe them no good; and after this his piggs all but one dayed, one after another, but the cause he knowes not. Another time she came into his yard: his wife asked wat she came for; she said to see her calfe: now they had a sucking calfe, wch they tyed in the lott to a great post that lay on ye ground, and the calfe ran away wth that post as if it had bine a fether and ran amonge Indian corne and pulled vp two hills and stood still: after he tyed the calfe to a long heauy raile, as much as he would well life, and one time she came into ye yard and looked on the calfe and it set a running and drew the raile after it till it came to a fence and gaue a great cry in a lowing way and stood still; and in ye winter the calfe dyed, doe what he could , yet eate its meate well enough:/"
There was more testimony, some of which involved "Goody" Ball. and there are other interesting cases in this book as well (I don't have it, just copied some pages at the library. Allen Balle is told to take care of Thomas Fugills fence (which indicates some sort of relationship between
them, (I think -- some say he married a Fugill). Thomas Blatchley gave the court "some offence and neglecting the imadge of God in magistrats, & goeing away soe irreverently and sayeing he would have justice in another place if he had it not here, wch now lyeing on his conscience, desirs to cleare himself, wherewth the court was satisfied"
When I first started my search on the Ball family (about 18/20 years ago), I found that I had copied a T.A.G. article written by Donald Lines Jacobus, M.A., of New Haven, Conn, pages 208-212, regarding the BALL family. Somehow I missed writting the vol. number down. Basically this is what it says.
1. "The real paternity of Alling BALL ...... was published in the N.E.H.G.R. vol 54. p. 96." "From the will of John BALL of St. Mary Bowe, London, Clothmaker, will dated 28 Feb 1637/8 proved 9 Apr 1638. Names brother Samuel BALL, mother-in-law [prob. step mother] and her sons Leonard COOKE and Thomas COOKE; my cousin Mary RUSSELL, and her brother Allen BALL, son of
my uncle Allen BALL, and two other daughters of uncle Allen BALL; cousin John BAll, son of my uncle Hugh BALL; cousin William BALL, my co-partner; the wife of my other cousin William BALL (who is beyond seas); children of my cousin Roger BALL; cousin Newman ROOKES; my two brothers, Andrew BALL and Samuel BALL. The witnesses were James RUSSELL, Richard PREICE (sic), Richard BALL, and Alice BALL.
2. Mr. Jacobus continues with the fact that this proves Alling BALL's father was Alling or Allen, and his sisters were Mary (BALL) RUSSELL, and two who were not named. The William who was overseas, came before Alling and had left his family in England. This William was probably the same William who died in New Haven, and so Alling was not the brother of Col. William BALL of VA.
3. Mr. Jacoobus says that the proof of this is further cemented by the mention of Alling's sister, Mary RUSSELL. Mary married James RUSSELL of New Haven, and they had one child Hannah who married Thomas KIMBERLY, Jr., who died without issue. The children of Alling also became heirs.
4. The inventory of estate for Mary RUSSELL "presented" 11 Nov 1674 and the next June the court found that the only daughter of the late James RUSSELL and Mary, and the wife of Thomas KIMBERLY, was to have the entire estate after the death of her mother.
5. On 3 Mar 1706/7 Hannah Kimberly, widow, and Sgt. John BALL (who was a collateral heir of the estate) made an agreement " for himself and all the rest of the collateral heirs) of the said estate".
6. Land records - 26 Sep 1705 - Hannah Kimberly widow of Thomas Kimberly, gave power of attorney to "my truste & well beloued frind and Kinsman John BALL". 19 Jul 1708, Hannah sold land to " my Louing Kinsman Capt. Allen BALL". "John BALL and Capt. Alling BALL were the two surviving sons of Alling BALL Sr.".
While this may put to rest the confusion regarding the relationship to George WASHINGTON, the fact that Susannah BALL being a sister of Alling, has not changed.
As I stated before, Dr. Druse, had written me about the source for Susannah being the sister of Alling. I have never seen the actual article, but I will write Dr. Druse and ask where he found "Putman's History", and if he would send me a copy of the article.

Land survey c8 169 1828-1882 referenced deed f 3 folio 31 transcription notes the parcel of land belongs to Stephen Minner and his wife Nancy Parcel originally surveyed on Feb 14 1828 and recorded March 26,1832
This could be the Stephen JR and Eliza who move to Ind. My Stephen would have been only 10 in 1836
Proof of the connection of this Stephen SR to Stephen JR comes in the form of a Deed transfer on Aug 18, 1836 in ledger M 3 page 144, DE Archives. Stephen Minner JR and his wife Eliza sells land 78 acres to Stephen Minner SR. The land was a piece situated in Mispillion HD was inherited land of Nancy Minner wife of Stephen Minner SR and part of the land of William McNatt decd. Which land is subject to the life estate of Stephen Minner SR then descends to the five heirs of the aforesaid Nancy Minner." This all fits in to the information of the Probate of Stephen Minner 1853. No mention of his wife in the will so she must have died before this sale of land to the son in 1836. It is a little odd that the land is being sold back to the father.
There are two wills 'Stephen Minner 1853-1854' and 'Stephen Minner 1792-1793' at the DE Archives that chronologically are feasible to be father of our pictured Stephen and then again another father. Both mention a Stephen (same spelling) as heirs.
Stephen Minner commissioned Ensign, 5 Comp. 6 Regt. "Governor's Register, State of Delaware, 1674-1851" entry on March 1, 1810 page 79. This Stephen would have been 39.
His will is signed on July 21, 1853 and entered into probate Aug 20, 1853 from Mispillion HD. There is no mention of a widow which would fit with the deed transfer information. Leaves five dollars to a Stephen. Stephen is listed on the accounts sheet debits page as receiving the five dollars.
Will 1853-1854 mentions beloved son William, (5 dollars),son Stephen (5 Dollars) , son Hezekiah 1/3 estate, daughter Mary now Mary Mastin 1/3 estate, Son Nimrod 1/3 estate. Nimrod exector
