THE ANCESTRY OF HIRAM BOLDING AND AMANDA GARRETT HOWARD
The Balls are found among the early settlers in Virginia, among the most prominent of whom was the mother of George Washington. The first one identified as the progenitor of this particular line was William Ball, who, according to William Watts Ball, a distinguished descendant, "with the Watts came down from Culpepper County, Virginia to South Carolina in the days before the Revolution when tobacco was declining. The first Ball immigrant was styled 'Gent.' according to the custom of the old Dominion. In 1800 he owned one slave and worked with his hands." |
