Stiff boards. Zustand: Good. 47, [5] pages. Bibliography. Some discoloration and sticker on fep. Name in ink on second fep. Col. William Ball, also known as "William of Millenbeck," was born about 1615 possibly in Salisbury, Wiltshire, England or Barkham, Berkshire, England. He married 2 Jul 1638 in London, England, Hannah -- fa…mily tradition says Atherold, Atherald or Atherall. The specific date ( July 2, 1638) and place (London) of the marriage of William Ball and Hannah (now spelled) Atherold is from a 1789 letter of James Ball Jr. to his nephew Burgess Ball. William was a merchant and planter; his plantation consisted of several hundred acres of land and many slaves. He was a soldier "under Fairfax," and served in the Royal Army and took part in the Civil Wars, remaining true to the royal standards and serving faithfully under the banners of King Charles. He may have been at the battles of Naseby (14 June 1645) and Marston Moor (2 July 1644). When the Royal Army was defeated, Colonel Ball lost the greater part of his considerable estates. In company with other royalists he fled to Virginia, the most loyal of the king's possessions, and last to surrender to Cromwell's authority. He carried various titles, including Colonel, Major, Planter and Gentleman. He was a member of the House of Burgess from 1670 - 1680 and Presiding Magistrate of Lancaster County. He emigrated and arrived in Lancaster County, Virginia by 1653. Col. William Ball died 15 Oct. 1680 in Millenbeck, Lancaster County, Virginia, and was buried in St. Mary's Whitechapel Episcopal Churchyard, Lancaster, Lancaster County, Virginia.
