Question

Is Esther Ball Glasscock related to Mary Ball Washington?

Answer 1

A long time ago I knew a Ball family in Warwick, NY.  They claimed relationship to George Washingtons wife's family.  The brothers were George and Robert, Maybe not even living now.  Try this lead if you wish.  Just saw an inquiry on wikitree (quit old).

Answer 2

Esther and Mary Ball were cousins.  Mary Ball's father passed away when Mary was 2 to 4 years old, and her mother died when Mary was 12.  Mary went to live with her cousins and were raised by them until she married A. Washington.

Anonymous, not sure you're still around, but how is Esther a cousin to Mary Ball? I know I've seen the Glasscock name associated with the Ball family, but I can't now find a cousin for Mary by the name Esther. 

She had a half sister Esther, but that Esther married Rawley Chinn.

Elsewhere (a Glasscock listserv), I find:

Esther Ball was the daughter of Captain Richard and Sarah (Young) Ball. Hayden, p. 62-63

I've checked Hayden, and that's what he says. Captain Richard Ball was son of William2, and grandson of William1 Ball-189.

I will attach Esther to that profile.
