     Find A Grave contributor Phil Cheek states via email 7-7-12 concerning Ball Cemetery in Rose Hill VA: "Hello, You have this memorial in the wrong Cemetery, He is buried in the Ball Cemetery in Ewing. I photographed this cemetery in 2011 and added memorials for all those not already listed on FAGrave. As a result I added a memorial for Moses Ball on 6-26-2011, which includes photos of the grave and stone. I will transfer this memorial to you, if you want to add your info to it and keep the memorial with the photos."
     Phil Cheek adds on 7-8-12: "As far as Moses and his wife Elizabeth, I took photos of all the graves and monuments. There are, however, some that are illegible and some marked only with fieldstone. This cemetery is listed in Vol. I of Cemeteries of Lee County, Va. published by the Lee Co. Historical Society. Sometimes, the person who furnished the info for each Cemetery was a family member who knew who was buried where, including unmarked/illegible graves. Since Moses & Elizabeth are listed in the book, I will go by the cemetery and see if I can figure it out. BTW, Moses (12 Dec 1768 to 9 Jul 1840) is listed as Moses, Jr, or III - Unsure which is correct. Info submitted by Bashie Kincaid."
     7-10-12--a Find A Grave volunteer (Phil Cheek) has reported a problem with your photo request for Moses Ball. The general problem they reported is: I searched the entire cemetery (Ball Cemetery in Ewing) and could not find the grave
They also reported, specifically: Vol. I of Cemeteries of Lee Co. published by the Lee Co. Hist. Society notes that this grave is unmarked - inof provided by Bashie Kincaid. I check the cemetery and there are a few graves marked with fieldstone, as well as 4 or 5 sarcophagus that have no legible inscriptions. Without further info, this grave cannot be identified.
     NOTE: I put Moses Ball back in the cemetery the source states due to above problem.
     NOTE: I changed the cemetery name on 9-23-12 according to information in Familysearch.org "Buried on top of the hill in front of Chadwell Sation Church; !Settled Powell Valley;
