Edward Ball was born circa 1642.1 He married Abigail Blatchley, daughter of Thomas Blatchley and Susannah Ball, circa 1664 at Branford, New Haven Co., CT.1 Edward Ball died circa 1724 at Essex Co., NJ; he was living in June, 1724, being then at an advanced age.1
Some have claimed that Edward Ball, who was at Branford, Connecticut in 1666 and removed to Newark, N.J., was a son of Alling Ball, the immigrant to New Haven CT. Since there was no probation of Alling's estate, Edward's name would have figured in conveyances of Ball property if he had been Alling's son. The name of Edward does not occur in any New Haven record, and although that is not conclusive, the presumption is that he was not a son son of Alling. Births of the three known sons of Alling were all recorded; and of these, only John and Alling left issue. Only John and Alling were mentioned in deeds of their first cousin, Hannah (Russell) Kimberly.
Comment by DGB: Further weight against such a direct relationship comes from Edward marrying the daughter of Alling Ball, Sr.'s sister Susannah (Ball) Blatchely. If Edward were a son of Alling Ball, Sr., he would have married his first cousin, a practice that was certainly frowned upon. End of comment.2 Edward Ball was at Branford CT 30 October 1666 on which day the heads of families designing to remove to Newark NJ signed an agreement, the most noticeable article of which was not to admit as freemen, etc., any but church members. In 1667 he was at Newark NJ and was assessed in the first list of taxables.3
