Biography

This profile is part of the Ball Name Study.

Nathaniel Crane Ball was born on 22 August 1813 in the state of New York. He was the son of Amzi Lewis Ball and Jane Crane. Nathaniel Crane Ball was baptized on 1 August 1818. ^{[1] [2]}

Nathaniel married Elizabeth Tomkins on December 2, 1835 in Newark, NJ. ^[3]

Nathaniel can be found with his wife Elizabeth, his children, and three individuals of unknown relationship living in his household, on the 1850 US census for Newark's East Ward, Essex County, New Jersey.

Nathaniel C. Ball, his wife Elizabeth, their children and other individuals can be found on the 1860 US census for 4th Ward Newark City, Essex County, New Jersey. If Elizabeth's maiden name was Tomkins, Eugene Tompkins may be related to her.

Nathaniel C. Ball can be found on the 1870 US census for Newark, Essex County, New Jersey, at the age of 56. Elizabeth is probably Nathaniel's wife, although her age differs from what would be expected on the previous census. Lewis F. through Josephine Ball are probably their children. Jennie Ball, who is listed out of sequence, age-wise is likely either the wife of Lewis, or another relative.

According to the "New England Ball Project", Elizabeth was the daughter of Daniel F. Tomkins. According to a Newark Directory 1836/7 referenced at the Ball Project site, there was a "Nathaniel C. Ball", painter, 35 Halsey Street at Newark, Essex Co., NJ. ^[7]
