Kathleen,
Are you aware that there is a daughter in the Ball line that is the mother of George Washington? Her name was Mary Ball. I have found a site that describes early families in Pittsburgh(of all places), and it includes mention of Mary Ball. She is a decendant of Moses and John Ball in VA. It describes how 6 sons of William Ball came to the United States and that a decendant of William was Mary Ball, mother of George Washington. It says they came from Wiltshire England between 1635 and 1640. I have tried to include a link, but it wouldn't allow me to. The family spread throughout New england and VA and Western PA.Some of this info is also in Arlington Heritage
