Marlboro Payne Ball:
Marlboro Payne Ball, b Jan. 6, 1779, Block Island, R.I.; d. Oct. 30, 1850 in Hartman Hill, Luzerne, NY. Marlboro Payne Ball m. Rachel Varney may 27, 1800 (Where?)

There is no record of Marlboro Balls birth on Block Island nor of his brothers births nor of their parents marriage. Records were not always complete this far back but records, even previous to this time. However, this was all about the time of the revolution and a very bleak period especially on Block Island. This may be the reason. Family letters and papers in Salt Lake City indicate the Marlboro P. Ball was from the Ball Family of Block Island. Also the names of his brothers and himself suggest Block Island ties. Marlboro Payne, Gideon Olin, James Rose were all contemporaries of M.P. Ball's father on Block Island.
Family letters written in the 1890's to Franklin Ball ( MP Balls grandson) from his cousin Bernard Ball in Batavia, Ill. (son of MP Balls brother Edward) differ on M.P. Balls fathers given name. Bernard thinks its Edward and Franklin thinks it John. Perry Ball, a Methodist minister and brother of Franklin(both sons of Elvin), was interested in the Ball family genealogy but so far, there is nothing to indicate that he knew the name of his Ball great grandfather. Block Island data suggests that the given name we are looking for is Edward. Block Island records are fairly good considering time. There was an Edward Ball born 1754 to Edward and Mary Dodge Ball. He is not buried on the Island with the rest of the Balls and records give him only one known son .
We know that they all left the Island after the Revolution possibly in 1793. There was a migration of Island people after the war. We know that Marlboro Payne's brother Joshua(?????)was in Warren County area in 1798. Another part of the Ball family went to Otsego Co. some time after that and settled there, but records are kept of that branch and there is no mention of our ancestors in those records. The only other candidate for being M.P.Balls Father would be a descendant of the branch of the family going back to Edward Ball, one of the three sons of the first Edward Ball on Block Island. There is very little info about him that I have discovered. The other two sons remained on the Island and we have most of their descendants documented.
These same family letters state that MP Balls mother was Fear Young/s Ball. Fear Ball was left a widow, we feel, after they left the island. The letters state that her husband died. The first, Fear Ball appears in New York records in the 1800 Census of Queensbury, living with one female. She resided in what was called Sanfords Ridge, near what is now Glens Falls Airport. John Austin approximates she lived near corner of # 9L and Hicks Rd. There is no deed listed for her or her husband nor wills that I have found. Sometime after 1800 she marred Daniel Rankin, a Revolutionary War Veteran, By Trade a Weaver. His pension records her birth as being c. 1744, He or they are in the 1820 Luzerne census, they resided in Queensbury in 1818. He died in 1837 as stated in his pension records but there is no record of here death, New York state records being as they are.
Block Island records show no Young/s family other than some property transfers on the Island, with the principals being from Long Island (Southold), that were witnessed by a Thomas Young/s. So possibly Fear is from a Long Island family. The name suggests a Quaker Background which would fit with their living in a Quaker area (Glens Falls) later.
Children of Edward(John) and Fear Young/s Ball:
Edward b 1775 m. 1 Mary Odell of Queensbury in Kingsbury in 1796.
2 Lydia Foot
d.1859 in Iowa City, Iowa.
Marlboro allready listed on chart. doc.
James Rose B 1780 m (l) (2)c 1807 Elizabeth Owen
lived in Vermont during lst marriage then moved to New York and then Ill.
Gideon Olin b. 1784 lived in Mendon, NY.
.."There is no evidence that any of the brothers of Marlboro Payne Ball became Quakers. Marlboro became a Quaker in 1813. His children Elvin and George are mentioned in Quaker records in Queensbury, Warren County, NY but not William or Anna.
Marlboro P. Ball is first mentioned in New York records in 1805 on the Queensbursy tax list of that year. He is mentioned in Luzerne,Warren Co. NY records 1814. His earliest deed is dated 1815 in Luzerne. There was apparently a sheriff's sale in 1832 and his son Elvin satisfied the debt. He lived with his son Elvin until his death in 1850. This accounts for the family letters being in possession of Elvins' descendants. There was no will on file or death records since New York did not require records until the late 1880's Rachel and Marlboro Ball are buried inthe Hartman Hill Cemetery." ! Questions to be answered:"
1.Whoever erected the stone monument in the Hartman Hill Cemetery must have known some family history. The monument is not all that old, yet no family members know anything about it even Bev Gallup who lives on the Ball Property.
2. How does Rachel Varney fit into the Varney family?
3. Was M.P. Ball's father the Edward ball b 1754 to Edward and Mary Dodge Ball? 4Did M.P.Ball's parents come to
4. Queensbury directly from Rhode Island.?
5. When did the father die? Where? !
6. Who was the female living with Fear Ball(Young) in 1800 Queensbury Census.
Was there a daughter or was it Rachel Varney Ball? Marlboro was the only son to remain in the area.
7. Who owned the property where Fear Ball lived in the 1800 Census?.
8.Who were Fear Ball's parents? Where they from Southold, Shelter Island area on Long Island? Were they Quakers? This was a Quaker area on Long Island. Long Island, especially the above area, was not very far from Block Island by boat.
9. When did Fear Ball Rankin die? Where?."4Revolutionary War Record for James R. Ball 1813-1814.

I exchanged some emails with you some time ago. I am descended from Alice J. Noe who married Amos J. Cherry in Macon Co, IL. Yesterday I found the death place and date for her father, Cyrenus Noe. He died in Blue Mound, Macon Co, IL, November 24, 1878. Amos and Alice (Noe) Cherry also lived in Blue Mound and are listed there in the 1880 census. I found the information on-line, in the Illinois Statewide Death Index for deaths before 1900. I was sure that you would want to know as he is also your Julia Etta's father.
