Elizabeth and her brother John appear to be descended from all 17 of the Sureties who have known living descendants.

Elizabeth (Harleston) Ball is listed in Magna Carta Ancestry (vol. I, pages xxiii-xxix) as a Gateway Ancestor, and is in a Richardson-documented trail to Magna Carta Surety Barons Hugh le Bigod and Roger le Bigod (vol. II, pages 355-363 HARLESTON). This trail was developed by the Magna Carta project and was badged on 24 August 2021. Another trail to surety baron William de Huntingfield was badged on 28 August 2021. The profiles in both of these trails and their status are set forth in the Magna Carta Trails section of her brother's profile.

See Base Camp for more information about identified Magna Carta trails and their status. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms, such as a "badged trail".
