Ann was the oldest child of four children and only daughter of John Ball I and his second wife Winifred Williams. She was probably born about 1712 on Little Hunting Creek in Stafford county. Ann had four older half siblings by her father's first wife. Ann was probably named after Winifred's mother, Ann. She moved with her family to Great Hunting Creek in Stafford County between 1715 and 1717 to land John Ball I had purchased from Robert Brent, executor of Nicholas Brent in 1715.
The first documented evidence of Ann 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.
Whether or not Ann Ball, daughter of John Ball I married or had issue is unknown.
NOTE: It has been stated incorrectly that this Ann Ball married a Samuel Hawes in 1749, but in fact, an Ann Ralls of Overwharton Parish married him. This error was due to Boogher's misreading of the name Ann Ralls as Ann Ball. This error was later corrected by G.H.S. King in his compilation of the Overwharton Parish register.
