NOTE FROM TRANSCRIBER, NOV., 1995: Steve McNally, 1224 Orion Av, Van Nuys, CA 91411, (818) 780-3381 transcribed these pages from a part of handwritten records entitled "J.R.Burnet Journal" given to Steve by Blaine Ball, 1513 Bob Smith., El Paso, TX 79925. When writing cannot even be surmised, a (?) has been inserted. Blaine and Steve are descended, respectively, from the brothers, CALEB BALL II and DEACON JOHN BALL, sons of CALEB BALL I, son of EDWARD. I understand Blaine acquired the copies of handwritten Journal at the NJ Historical Society, 230 Broadway, Newark, NJ 07104, teleph # 201-483-3939 (as of 1968). Date of last edit: August 5, 1994. John Myer used OCR software to convert that document into a digital file. Joanne Todd converted that file into HTML format suitable for publishing on the internet. We would not recommend using this document as a genealogical source unless you have viewed the original document.
HOW MANY CHILDREN HAD EDWARD BALL?
Moses Ball, who died 1747, in his will leaves fifty pounds "to all the children of my brothers, Caleb, Joseph and Thomas, and my sisters Abigail Harrison and Lydia Peck". It is probable these brothers and sisters were then dead. We know, by the head stones which yet remain that Joseph died 1733, Lydia 1742 and Thomas 1744. That these were the children of Edward Ball, is proved by two deeds recorded in the old Town Book of Newark, one from Edward Ball to his son and daughter Joseph and Lydia Peck, for half an acre in the North West corner of the homestead, dated 1699, and the other from Edward Ball to his son Caleb, for 50 acres at the Mountain, next north of Azariah Crane's. There may have been other children who died without issue. It is uncertain whether Abigail or Caleb was the oldest, but as Daniel Harrison was born 1661 we are inclined to place the birth of his wife Abigail not later than 1669 and Caleb's birth may have been 1671 --Joseph was born 1673, Lydia 1676, Moses 1685, and Thomas 1687, or the beginning of 1688. P.S. Abigail Johnson, dau. of Caleb, was born 1708, whence Caleb Ball was probably born about 1665 and the oldest.
CALEB BALL
Section I See P 115 top and P 114 bottom for order of birth. Descendants of Caleb Ball Snr.
Neither head stone, will, nor letters of administration of the first Caleb Ball have been found. We are therefore, unable to say when he died, or how long he lived. And the names of his children we can only guess from Moses Ball's will, in which legacies are left to his "cousins" (nephews) Caleb Ball and John Ball. The house of Caleb Ball Junr. is mentioned in the County Road Book, as being near "White Brook" (north of Newark) in 1716, and that appears from the Long Bill in Chancery, that land, were surveyed for John Ball in 1724. Since we know that Caleb and John were not sons of Joseph or of Thomas, they must have been sons of Caleb Snr. Whether there were any other children the records do not show. The last trace of Caleb Ball Snr which has been discovered is his subscription as witness to a deed in 1717/18. In 1704, May 1, his father Edward Ball "planter" conveyed to him 50 acres at the mountain, next north of deacon Azariah Crane's, and half the meadows at Beef Point, in consideration of which, Caleb was to give up the homestead which he had in possession. This tract he conveyed 19 Feb 1705/6 to John Canfield in exchange for 60 acres on both sides of Third River. His wife Sarah joined with him in the conveyance being the only place in which her name appears.-(footnote inserted at bottom of page--"These deeds are recorded in the old Town book of Newark").
Caleb Ball Junr. and John Ball both removed to Hanover; the latter, according to the tradition current among his descendants, about 1740 or 1745, the former probably some years earlier.
The will of Caleb Ball (Junr) "gentleman" of Hanover, dated 25 July 1748 and proved 20 August of the same year, names his wife Sarah, and sons (ch of 1st wife) Isaiah, Joshua, (ch of 2nd wife Sarah) Caleb, Ezekiel and Mathew. Daughters Abigail Johnson, Elinor Ball, Kezia Kitchell Dec, Jane Perry (for Jane Perry see p. 84, 85, and 87), Mary Bates, Sarah Ball, Lydia Ball, Anne Ball and Deborah Ball. (As Abigail (See below) was born 1708, her father Caleb, must have been born as early as 1686/7 whence the first Caleb was probably the oldest child of Edward Ball). The will of John Johnson, Hanover 1775, names his wife Abigail, sons Jacob, Elisha, Gershom, Joseph. Dau. Kezia (eldest), Lydia, Abigail, and 3 sons of dau. Sarah deceased. The Morristown Bill of Mortality states that John Johnson was buried May 4, 1775 age 70 and Abigail widow of J. June 4, 1793 died suddenly age 85. Her age may be proven too much.
P.S. Joshua and Caleb were half brothers -- Hence Sarah widow of Caleb Junr was a second wife, married to Caleb Ball not far from 1725. She afterwards married W. Plume of Newark, grandfather of John J. Plume Esq, and had a daughter Jane, who married Josiah Willson. Her third marriage to a Wm. Tuttle of Hanover.
No headstones of Caleb Ball Junr or his sons have been found, but the deaths and ages of some of them have been ascertained from the Morristown Bill of Mortality.
Joshua was buried Feb. 18, 1773, aged 50. His widow and wife Martha was buried Jan. 17, 1777 age 55. His sons were James, Jacob and Joshua by second wife. They had a half sister, sister to Joshua, mother in law of David Bedford who was __(?)..Fairchild.
