Biography
J. was born in 1834. He is the son of Lewis Ball and Mary Post.
He is listed at the age of 16 as living with the family of Henry Post (whom I presume is a relative of J. Bentley's mother). He is listed as a cigar maker. [1]
There is anecdotal evidence that the John B. Ball who is listed in Springfield, Hampden, Massachusetts census for 1855 is this J. Bentley. It shows his profession as "Sigar Maker." [2] There is also a Margaret Ball listed with the Condon family. She is 16. She was born in New Hampshire. I don't know how these two Balls ended up with the Condons.
