Genealogical Problems and Research

The New England Ball Project is now the best source for all New England Ball families. Run by John G. Ball, and supported by his associates, it encompasses the classic early 20th century study of New England Ball families: Warren & Ball, Descs. of John Ball of Watertown (1932)^[1], as well as the extensive late 20th century research of Dr. Druse, and the latest research available on this interesting family.

Warren & Ball, Descs. of John Ball of Watertown (1932)^[2], 13, Part I, #41, Nathaniel Ball, does a good job describing this family as follows:

41 NATHANIEL BALL, born 1692, married May 31, 1711, Sarah Baker of Concord. They resided in Concord.
