Research Notes

John Ball (1743- ) was linked to Abigail Wilder (1739-1771) as her husband, but she was probably married to the John Ball born in 1738 in Westborough, Worcester, Massachusetts, United States to James and Sarah. [3] Her marriage took place in 1761 in the same town, although admittedly, nothing distinguishes this John from other, except for the place (Westborough). [4] Her Find a Grave Entry in 1771 [5] is linked to the John Ball born in 1738. [6] Given the above, the John Ball born in 1743 has been unlinked from her profile, as well as from that of her daughter Charlotte Ball.
