I to have been confused by the Elizabeth Ballard and Allen Breed marriages.
I am a Ballard researcher.
William Ballard came with wife Elizabeth age 26, daughter Hester (refered from this point on as Esther) age 2 and John age 1. This info is from Hotten list and they came in 1635 on the 2nd voyage of the James. William Ballard d Mar 1639 in Lynn MA. They had 1 son in US Nathaniel b 1636 in Lynn.
Elizabeth then married William Knight abt 1640. She had children Jacob, Elizabeth, Daniel and Mary. William Knight had 4 children by his 1st wife who was also named Elizabeth.

Notice he mentioned Nathaniel and John Ballard in the will.
Daniel Knights estate which shows her children and her last marriage to Allen Breed
Administration on the estate of Daniell Knight, intestate, granted 26 : 9 : 1672, to Jacob Knights, his brother, who brought in an inventory, which was allowed.
Court ordered that Elizabeth Bread, the natural mother of deceased, be paid 10 li., and that John Knight and An, wife of Edward Richards, the natural children of the father deceased, be paid 5 li. each, and Priscilla Kertland, intended wife of deceased, be paid 10 li.
The rest of the estate was to be divided between Jacob Knights, Elizabeth Graves and Mary Wormwood, brother and sisters of deceased, the brother having a double portion.
All legacies were to be paid within six months, all parties to share proportionately with regard to debts and credits. Salem Quarterly Court Records, vol. 5, leaf 61.
Her is another piece of proof of her marriage to Allen Breed
In 1655, there was recorded in the Registry of Deeds in Salem, Lib. 2,vol 52, a release from Thomas Gaige, in which he acknowledged payment and releases to his mother-in-law, Elizabeth Knight, and her second husband, Alan Breed, from a legacy of 40 shillings given to his wife, Johanna, in the will of her father William Knight.. I believe this is "Hanna" mentioned in her fathers will. Elizabeth Lee (her maiden name is believed to be Lee) Ballard Knight Breed b abt 1608 in England and died 15 Mar 1687 in Lynn MA
Elizabeth Lee and William Ballard had Nathaniel Ballard he married 16 Dec 1662 in Lynn Ma Rebecca Hudson. They had a daughter Elizabeth b 1675 in Lynn MA d 29 Jun 1743 in Lynn MA who married Allen Breed (3rd or grandson of the Allen Breed that her grandmother married.
Hope this helps clear up the confusion. Laurel Taffe Carr
My line is William Ballard to Nathaniel Ballard to 2 of Nathaniel's children Mary who m Moses Haven and William who m Sarah Burrill.
