      ; Lillard [1991, pp. 824-826] "It has been stated that John Lillard, Jr., and his brother Ephraim Lillard, I, were the outstanding fighters of Anderson County (then Franklin County). In those days they had meetings of the military forces in each county. The one in Anderson County took place on one of the Salt River bottoms. While to all intents and purposes it was a meeting for military training, in fact it was a meeting in which the consumption of liquor and fist fights predominated. After these fights it was the rule for the victor to thumb out the eye of his victim. It is sufficient to say that John and Ephraim Lillard had perfect eyesight up until the time of their deaths.175

John Lillard and his brother Ephraim Lillard apparently had several disagreements among themselves and with other family members. Both were members of the Salt River Baptist Church in Franklin County. In those days the church was a forum for the judgment of personal conduct and members were often appointed to decide matters dealing with complaints brought by one member against another. In October, 1801, "having trouble over their father's estate," thirteen members were appointed to reconcile the two men. They found against John Lillard, "but from his acknowledgement & marks of repentance [he] is acquitted." They made no findings against "Ephraim Lillard who said he never refused to let John see the papers." In November, John Lillard was excluded from the Church for "using harsh letters, leaving in an abrupt manner."
Agnes Lillard was charged by Ephraim Lillard with excess drinking in April, 1803, but the charge was reconsidered and found unsupported when heard by the Church in June. Later, in August, 1803, Ephraim Lillard was excluded from the congregation. Brethren Garvey and Jacob Elliston complained in May, 1806, about Agnes Lillard for going to a dance. However, she apparently continued in good standing because in June the clerk noted in the minute book that "Sister Lillard gives satisfaction."177

John Lillard, Jr., was restored to the fellowship in June, 1809. In July, 1811, Jacob Elliston charged John Lillard reported a falsehood, but the minutes note that the Church believed it was thru mistake and was satisfied. However, when Lillard and Elliston subsequently charged each other in November, 1811, the Church found that John Lillard, Jr., was "no more one of us" and was apparently excluded.178

Both John and Ephraim Lillard were apparently restored to the fellowship because the list of members at the March, 1812, meeting includes Christopher Lillard, John Lillard, Agnes Lillard, Thomas Lillard, Garland Lillard, Lillard's Dick, Lillard's Lavina [slaves], Leodicia Lillard, Ephraim Lillard, Lillard's Lucretia [slave], Pegga Lillard, Martha Lillard and Susan Lillard.179

A story told about John Lillard by Christopher Marion Lillard to Marion W. Ripy of New York, was as follows:180

John Lillard's home on Salt River was located on a hog-back, to the north and to the south were springs. The cattle and salves used the spring to the south while the northern spring was used by the white people of the house. Someone poisoned the southward spring so John Lillard went to a soothsayer to find out about it. My grandfather in telling me about this, walked up the hillside. He said that John Lillard was told by the soothsayer that if he would go on a
certain night to this pair of bars at eleven o'clock, two men would climb over the bars and they were the people who had poisoned the spring. Just before we got to the place where the bars then were, my grandfather told me they went to the bars on the night named and he indicated by pointing, and said: 'they were buried there.' It is sufficient to say that no more cattle or slaves were lost."⁸

      ; From July, 1994 The Ball Family Sources: COLONEL WILLIAM BALL of VIRGINIA The Great-Grandfather of Washington by Earl L. W. Heck, published and sold by Sydney Wm. Dutton, 103, Newgate Street, London, E. C.1. MCMXXVIII, (on file at National Genealogical Society Library, 4527 17th Street North, Arlington, VA) Colonial Virginians and Their Maryland Relatives, by Norma Tucker (located at Montgomery County Historical Society, Rockville, MD) :
Colonel William Ball (1615) and Hannah Atherall (Atherold) born in England and educated in or about London. Evidence shows that he was married July 2, 1638, to Miss Hannah Atherall or Atherold, the Daughter of Thomas Atherold. He probably left England soon after the death of King Charles I., about 1650. He had studied law in England, and later interpreted the principles of Common Law for fellow Virginia colonists. He was a soldier "under Fairfax," and served in the Royal Army and took part in the (English) Civil Wars, remaining true to the royal standards and serving faithfully under the banners of the ill-fated King Charles. He was probably present at the battles of Naseby and Marston Moor. 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.
Colonel William Ball probably had a brother in Virginia. He did not apply for a land grant until at least 8 years after arriving in 1650. It is thought that he was waiting out the bad times at home and planned to return with the Stuarts were returned to the throne. He seems, however, to have operated a vessel between England and Virginia during this time. He first appears in the Colonial records as a Merchant, probably a tobacco merchant.
After 1660, William Ball took an active part in the religious, political and social life of Virginia. In 1660 he was a member of a court to make a treaty with the Indians and to establish a boundary for the occupation of land by the white men. He first received the title of Colonel in 1672, the year he was the County Lieutenant of Lancaster. If you held such a rank, you may have earned it as a member of the General Court of Virginia.
"This august and aristocratic body was always composed of the class known at that time as 'gentlemen,' men of wealth, family and influence, and whose official station added much to their influence. They, with the Governor, formed the executive council, who dispensed the entire patronage of the colony in the way of official appointment, at the same time that each individual himself was himself commissioned 'Colonel' by royal authority...The Governor was Lieutenant-General, the Councilors, Lieutenants of Counties with the title of Colonel, and in counties where a Councilor resided, some other person was appointed with rank of Major."
(Introduction to Vo. I. Calendar Papers, by Palmer) It is probable that Colonel Ball was not a member of the General Court, since his name does not appear as a member of the General Court, but, was a Colonel of Foot or Horse and not County Lieutenant. He was doubtless Presiding Magistrate and Colonel Commander of the County. He served on various committees in Lancaster County from 1675-7. He was presiding member of various courts held in Lancaster County.
On March 28, 1675-6 Colonel Ball and Lieutenant-Colonel John Carter were empowered by the General Assembly of Virginia to mobilize men and horses to defend the colony against Indians. Their leader was Nathaniel Bacon. On August 14, 1677, he was present at a meeting to discuss taxes being imposed by the General Assembly to put down Bacon's rebellion. From 1670 until his death in 1680 he was a member of the Burgesses of Lancaster County. He eventually became a planter, and on January 18, 1663, received a grant of land on Narrow Neck Creek in Lancaster County. Four years (apparently after promotion to Major) he received a joint grant of 1600 acres in the County of Rappahannock on the north side of the river of the same name together with Thomas Chetwood. A few months later he acquired 300 acres of rich bottom land adjoining the estate of Daniel Fox, who later became the Colonel's son-in-law. He built a beautiful Georgian mansion on his Lancaster County estate, which he named Millenbeck, probably after some place in Warwickshire or Northamptonshire. The estate was held for four successive generations by William Balls and played a prominent part in Virginia history. Colonel Ball was a zealous supporter of the Virginia branch of the Church of England. He and John Washington were wardens of Christ Church, Lancaster County.

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.
     "Colonel William Ball probably had a brother in Virginia. He did not apply for a land grant until at least 8 years after arriving in 1650. It is thought that he was waiting out the bad times at home and planned to return with the Stuarts were returned to the throne. He seems, however, to have operated a vessel between England and Virginia during this time. He first appears in the Colonial records as a Merchant, probably a tobacco merchant.
     "After 1660, William Ball took an active part in the religious, political and social life of Virginia. In 1660 he was a member of a court to make a treaty with the Indians and to establish a boundary for the occupation of land by the white men. He first received the title of Colonel in 1672, the year he was the County Lieutenant of Lancaster.
     "If you held such a rank, you may have earned is as a member of the General Court of Virginia.
     ""This august and aristocratic body was always composed of the class known at that time as 'gentlemen,' men of wealth, family and influence, and whose official station added much to their influence. They, with the Governor, formed the executive council, who dispensed the entire patronage of the colony in the way of official appointment, at the same time that each individual himself was himself commissioned 'Colonel' by royal authority...The Governor was Lieutenant-General, the Councilors, Lieutenants of Counties with the title of Colonel, and in counties where a Councillor resided, some other person was appointed with rank of Major." (Introduction to Vo. I. Calendar Papers, by Palmer)
     "It is probable that Colonel was not a member of the General Court, since his name does not appear as a member of the General Court, but, was a Colonel of Foot or Horse and not County Lieutenant. He was doubtless Presiding Magistrate and Colonel Commander of the County. He served on various committees in Lancaster County from 1675-7. He was presiding member of various courts held in Lancaster County.
     "On March 28, 1675-6 he and Lieutenant-Colonel John Carter were empowered by the General Assembly of Virginia to mobilize men and horses to defend the colony against Indians. Their leader was Nathaniel Bacon.
     "On August 14, 16777, he was present at a meeting to discuss taxes being imposed by the General Assembly to put down Bacon's rebellion.
     "From 1670 until his death in 1680 he was a member of the Burgesses of Lancaster County.
     "He eventually became a planter, and on January 18, 1663, received a grant of land on Narrrow Neck Creek in Lancaster County. Four years (apparently after promotion to Major) he received a joint grant of 1600 acres in the County of Rappahannock on the north side of the river of the same name together with Thomas Chetwood. A few months later he acquired 300 acres of rich bottom land adjoining the estate of Daniel Fox, who later became the Colonel's son-in-law.
     "He built a beautiful Georgian mansion on his Lancaster County estate, which he named Millenbeck, probably after some place in Warwickshire or Northamptonshire. The estate was held for four successive generations by William Balls and played a prominent part in Virginia history.
     "Colonel Ball was a zealous supporter of the Virginia branch of the Church of England. He and John Washington were wardens of Christ Church, Lancaster County.

He left his daughter Hannah & her husband, Captain David Fox, only 5 shillings ( in his will) with some insulting comments.
     "per WFT 15-0140:
Colonel William Ball was born abt. 1615. Practically nothing is known of his early life, and we can only infer that he was educated in or about London. That he studied law there is a small amount of evidence, as later he showed more than ordinary knowledge in the principles of Common Law, which he interpreted for his fellow colonists in Virginia. On the basis of a letter written by a member of the Ball family, Colonel Ball was married July 2, 1638, in London, to Miss Hannah Atherall (or Atherold], the daughter of Thomas Atherall, a barrister-at-law, who was living at Gray's Inn during 1610-11. He appears to have been the son of Thomas Atherall of Burgh, Suffolk, who was born about 1590; his mother was Mary Vessey. hannah Atherall's mother was Mary Harvey, a daughter of John Harvey of London.
     "Mr. W. B. Wright, who has made a careful inquiry into the antecedents of Colonel William Ball, asserts that he was spoken of in the "Cheshire Visitation" as a soldier under Fairfax. Wright also thinks there is much evidence that William Ball served in the Royal Army and to have taken part in the Civil Wars, remaining true to the royal standards and serving faithfully under the banners of the ill-fated Charles. He is commonly regarded to have been at the battles of Naseby and Marston Moor. By the defeat of the Royal Army, Colonel Ball lost the greater part of his estates, which were by no means inconsiderable. In company with other royalists he fled to Virginia, the most loyal of the king's possessions, and the last to surrender to Cromwell's authority. Ball probably left England soon after the death of Charles I, arriving in Virginia about the year 1650.
     "There is mcuh truth in Hayden's supposition that Colonel Ball had an elder brother in Virginia before his arrival. He appears not to have taken a land grant at first, nor does his name figure in records of that coloney until eight years after his supposed arrival. We might infer from this that he and his family lived with relatives waiting for the Stuarts to be restored to power in England; and his first plans on coming to Virginia may have been to remain there only so long as the troubled conditions existed in the Mother Country.
     "There is some evidence, however, that he spent these years operating a vessel between England and Virginia. He first appears in the Colonial records as a "Merchant." On December 7, 1658, he was made executor to the estate of John Edwards, which gave Ball the power to sell the Edwards' estate, his horses, cattle, and negroes; and it made provision that Colonel Ball should receive a share in the ship "Susan" and to make returns to Spencer Pigott, of Duke's Place, London.
     "The culture of tobacco had by 1655 become an important industry of Virginia, and was the chief, if not the only source of income to the colonists. By 1650 Augustine Herrman, of New Amsterdam, and George hack, of Virginia, had built up a large trade in tocacco between the Colony and London. It is, therefore, quite probable that William Ball became a tobacco merchant, carrying the produce to England and disposing of it there.
     "if Ball first came to Virginia with the intention of remaining only so long as the Protectorate existed in England, he son decided to cast his lot with the fortunes of the New World. After 1660 he took an active part in the religious, political and social life of Virginia. In 1660 he was a member of a court to make a treaty with the Indians and to establish a boundary for the occupatin of land by the white men. In 1661 his name still appears in the Northumberland County Records as a merchant. Later he became a planter, and on January 18, 1663, received a grant of land on Narrow Neck Creek in Lancaster County. Four years later he appears in the records as Major Ball, and together with Thomas Chetwood received a grant of sixteen hundred acres in the County of Rappahannock on the north side of the river of the the same name. A few months later he acquired three hundred additional acres of rich bottom land adjoining the estate of Daniel Fox, whose friendship Ball appears to have cultivated, and who later became the Colonel's son-in-law, marrying his only daughter, Hannah.
     "It was on the Lancaster County estate, however, where Colonel Ball built the beautiful Georgian mansion which later was to be become famous. He named it "Millenbeck," probably after someplace in Warwickshire or Northamptonshire. The estate was held for four successive generations by William Balls, and with "Epping Forest," the home of Mary Ball (Washington), played a prominent part in the annals of Virginian history.
     "It seems highly probable, moreover, that Ball remained something of a merchant after he became a Lancaster County planter, and he undoubtedly made frequent trips back to London, for in those days it was a common practice for one planter, skilled in business usages, to see about the marketing of his own as well as the tobacco of two or three of his closest neighbors or friends.
     "From 1672, Ball took an active part in the administration work of his adopted county and colony. He first received the title of "Colonel" in that year. Hayden is of the opinion that he was the County Lieutenant of Lancaster of that yaer, inasmuch as we find Robert Jones had to pay him on March 19th of that year over fifteen hundred pounds of tobacco. Palmer, in his introduction to Vol. I, Calendar Papers, has given us the following description of the General Court of Virginia, and with it the origin of the Virginian title of Colonel:
     ""This august and aristocratic body was always composed of the class known at that time as 'gentlemen,' men of wealth, family and influence, and whose official station added much to their influence. They, with the Governor, formed the executive council, who dispensed the entire patronage of the colony in the way of official appointment, at the same time that each individual himself was himself commissioned 'Colonel' by royal authority." . . . "The Governor was Lieutenant-General, the Councillors, Lieutenants of Counties with the title of Colonel, and in counties where a councillor resided, some other person was appointed with rank of Major."
     "Hayden, in the light of this information, concludes that Colonel Ball may have been a Colonel of Foot or Horse and not County Lieutenant. With this assertion, Stanard agrees and believes that Ball, if not County Lieutenant, was doubtless Presiding Magistrate and Colonel Commandant of the County. "I do not think he was County Lieutenant, his name does not occur as a member of the General Court."
     "From 1675-77, Colonel Ball served on various committees in Lancaster County. March 28, 1675-76, he and Lieutenant-Colonel John Carter were empowered by the General Assembly of Virginia to mobilize men and horses in defense of the colony against Indiana depredations, to be lead by Nathaniel Bacon. He was presiding member of various courts held in Lancaster County, and received this honor for being the only resident Colonel in that County.
     "August 14, 1677, Colonel Ball and his neighbor, John Washington, were present at a meeting to impress upon the citizens the necessity of making immediate payment of a tax imposed upon the people by the General Assembly to put down Bacon's rebellion which had lately arisen. From 1670 on until his death in 1680, he was a member of the Burgesses of Lancaster County.
     "per WFT 15-2288:
Born ca 1615. Prob. educated in London, Eng., and studied law there. Nothing is known of his early life. Based on a letter written by a Ball family member, Hayden beleived he married 2 Jul 1638 in London. Fact 1
He was spoken as a soldier in 'Cheshire Visitation', under Fairfax.
Much evidence he served in Royal Army in Civil Wars under Charles III. He was present at the battles of Naseby and Marston Moor. In defeat he lost the greater part of his estates, and fled to Virginia ca 1650 after the death of Charles III.
     "1650 - to Virginia

Margaret/Mary Williamson left a will on 6 February 1697 at Lancaster Co., Virginia, USA.²

     (?) Harris was born circa 1643 at Bay View, Northumberland Co., Virginia, USA;      Tyler [1915:I:178] says she "of 'Bay View', Northumberland county..."^1,2,3 She married Capt. William (III) Ball Jr., son of Col. William (II) Ball and Hannah Atherold, circa 11 November 1672 at Lancaster Co., Virginia, USA,
; His 2nd wife
     Descendants of William Ball of Virginia (p. 2) says she was his 2nd wife, but his wife, Margaret WILLIAMSON out lived him so Margaret WILLIAMSON must have been his last (3rd?) wife and (--) HARRIS and Margaret DOWNMAN must have been earlier.
     Tyler [1915:I:178] says she was his 1st wife, Miss Harris was 2nd and Margaret Downman 3rd in 1675.
     from Wikitree: ""Miss" Harris [16][17][18][19][20] est. 11 Nov 1672 in Lancaster County, Virginia. She was born est. 1643 in earliest record, Bay View, Northumberland County, Virginia, and died before 26 Mar 1673 (when William married third)." Wikitree cites:
