Due to disputed relationships that impact known PGM-era immigrants, this profile is being tracked and co-managed by the Puritan Great Migration Project.

Notice:The Puritan Great Migration Project, the New Haven Colony One Place Study, and the Connecticut Project have identified several significant errors and some duplication in the wikitree profiles for the Alling Ball family of New Haven. We followed the 1934 article of Donald Lines Jacobus to make corrections. Please discuss any changes before making any.

This profile is being identified as father of the immigrant Alling Ball as described in Jacobus' 1934 study. He did not emigrate; his wife is not known; his parents are not known. Smith-32867 23:21, 14 June 2017 (EDT)

Disputed Origins

Some (who?) say he was son of William Ball (I) and Joane King, but Jacobus in 1934 identifies no parents for this Alling.

He's also been given an exact birth date and place of 15 Aug 1595 in Salisbury, Wiltshire, England, without source.

He had a married daughter (Mary) by April 1638, suggesting she was born about 1618, suggesting he married by 1617, working back to an estimated birth year of at least 1592.

Biography

Alling Ball has been identified as father of Alling Ball, immigrant to New Haven.

From the 1638 will of his nephew John, clothworker of St Mary Bowe, London, we know that this father Alling:

• had a brother named Hugh;
• had a brother with sons John (testator of 1638), Samuel and Andrew
• had at least one additional brother (and possibly more) who had sons Roger, William (co-partner to John testator of 1638) and another William (probably the immigrant to New Haven who died there in 1648, leaving wife and children in England -- names not known. It's possible that one of these Williams was son of this Alling (and therefore brother to the immigrant Alling Ball).
• had a daughter Mary Russell
• had two additional unnamed daughters. One of them was probably the wife of Thomas Fugill.

Alling Ball, father of the immigrant Alling, was alive at the time of his nephew's 1638 will. Shortly after that will (and no later than 1643), his son Alling emigrated to New Haven Connecticut.

There is no evidence that the father Alling came to New England.
