Martha was the third daughter and youngest child born to John Ball I and his first wife Sinah. She was probably born about 1708 on Little Hunting Creek in Stafford County, Virginia.
When her mother died ca 1708/1709, her father remarried to a young Catholic Welsh heiress named Winifred Williams on 9 Mar 1710. They had four children making them Martha's half siblings.
Martha moved with her family to Great Hunting Creek in Stafford County between 1715 and 1717 on land her father had purchased from Robert Bret, executor of Nicholas Brent, in 1715.
The first documented evidence of Martha Ball was her mention in her father's will dated August 14, 1722 and proven in court on November 14, 1722:
"Item: I give to my daughter Martha Ball and my daughter Ann Ball that Tract of land lying situate and being on both sides of Piney Branch containing Five Hundred Ninety five acres equally to be divided between my two daughters Martha & Ann and to their heirs lawfully begotten of their bodys for ever but in default of such heirs that then to fall to the next male heir."
