¹Letter from Dave R. Ball. "!  The beginning of Page one of letter from  Letter from Claire Callahan PO Box 302 Peapack, New Jersey 07997.

!           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 complet 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 arelooking 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 partof the Ball family went to Otsego Co. some time fter 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.

!  Gideon Olin b 1784 and lived in Mendon, New York. End First Page.



! Beginning of 2nd Page.!   Letter from Claire Callahan PO Box 302 Peapack, New Jersey 07997. Gives
a lot of documention as a researcher. "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, WarrenCo. 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 aboutit 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?                4. Did M.P.Ball's parents come to 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?

In the Book of Deeds (Warren County) Page 290, on Sept. 1, 1815 a John K. Beekman sold land to Marlborough Ball, of Luzerne which is next to Town of Caldwell. for $450. as of record of October 10th, 1815.

The records of marriages are no longer in the County office building, so we could not verify the marriage of Eleazer and Mary McFarland on September 3, 1817.  This might be found in Albany.

This is from Ruth E. Rolleston."

Colonel William Preston ANDERSON

¹On pages 206 and 207 of Records of Men Enlisted in the US Army, order 2015.
Captain William Preston Anderson was appoint. "On pages 206 and 207 of Records of Men Enlisted in the US Army, order 2015.
Captain William Preston Anderson was appointed Colonel of the 24th US
Infrantry on 6 July 1812 at Fort Meigs.".

²Notes From William Kent Anderson sent on 28 Oct 1999.. "Col William Preston Anderson was living in Franklin Co TN by 1800. It is
reported that he and his brother James Patton Anderson were  very good friends
with Andrew Jackson, and helped first lay out the state of TN. William Preston
loved horses and owned a grand race track. The race track was called the Old
Clover Bottom Race Track and was located near Nashville. William Preston's
plantation was called 'Crazy Hope Farm'. Andrew Jackson mentioned the track as
one of his favorite places to visit. (My William Preston Anderson also had one
of the first race tracks in Texas when he moved to Sabine Co TX from Bossier
Parish La in 1870).    He and Andrew Jackson did have a severe disagreement in
the 1820's over a duel that was fought. Apparently Andrew Jackson allowed a
duel to proceed in his presence. William Preston was angry that Andrew knew
one of the young men was the only child of a family close by, and said he
should have talked them out of it. The young man was killed in the duel.  It
is ironic because  Andrew Jackson  saved his brothers life (James Patton
Anderson) several years before.   This was reported in  the Washington Daily
Globe of Jan 1, 1855. It seems James Patton was a very passionate man and
stood up for what he believed was right. During a meeting at the Winchester
Courthouse James Patton became the target of a sure lynching by the men
attending the meeting.  As the crowd moved toward him making their motives
known, Andrew Jackson jumped upon the long conference table and challenged the
crowd by himself.  He had his hand in his breast pocket, snapping his iron
tobacco box which sounded like his was cocking his gun.  The crowd stood their
ground and finally moved back to their seats. During this time, James Patton
had left through another door. It has been mentioned that the story could have
been reversed and James Patton was the one on the table, but the story was
changed to place  Andrew Jackson in a better light due to his political
position.

William Preston was a surveyor and a land speculator.  He bought and sold land
all over TN.  He and a man named LeRoy Pope and James Jackson came up with a
plan to make some money. Mr Pope owned a large amount of land in Madison Co AL
and they decided to lay out a new town and lobby for the state capital to be
moved there.  They first called the town Twickenham, then later called it
Huntsville.".

Rufus King ANDERSON 3rd

¹History of Rufus King Anderson. " RUFUS KING3 ANDERSON (WILLIAM PRESTON2, WILLIAM1) was born 19 Jun 1801,
and died 29 May 1834 in Pickensville Pickens Co, Al.  He married FRANCIS
VIRGINIA MARTIN 1828, daughter of ALEXANDER MARTIN.  She was born 1807, and
died 1864.

Notes for RUFUS KING ANDERSON:
Rufus King Anderson was said to be an overbearing, reckless man, who insulted
whom he pleased, and was generally regarded as a dangerous man. Peacable men
avoided difficulties with him, and would often submit to exactions rather than
enter into a deadly conflict. To oppose him in any way, or to incur his
resentment, brought life into jeopardy.    He resided in Pickens and served as
Senator in the State Legislature from 1829 to 1833.

His sister Caroline died giving birth to her first born. Her husband, an
attorney,
Thomas Paine Taul abused his wife and took no pains in concealing the fact.
Rufus heard about her death and let it be known that he was coming to the
town of Winchester to kill Thomas Paine.   Rufus arrived during mid-day and
had someone point out Thomas Paine to him.  Rufus walked directly up to
Thomas Paine and shot him among his friends.    Rufus was arrested, bailed,
and tried. He was defended by Felix Grundy. The soon to be governor of Alabama
Samuel B Moore had accompanied him to Franklin Co to show his support.
Rufus was found not guilty.    Another attorney, Mr Gideon B Frierson, was
very upset about the acquittal.         Some time after the trial, it was said
that
Rufus King had beaten one of his female slaves to death and left her hanging
in his barn.   Mr Frierson made his way to Rufus' barn to see for himself if
it was true, and sure enough she was hanging there.     Rufus was told of
Mr Frierson's actions, and Rufus declared to everyone that he would kill
Mr Frierson for taking such a liberty with his property.    Rufus advanced
down the main street shouting for Mr Frierson to come out and fight like a
man, as he had come to kill him.   Mr Frierson had locked himself in his
office.  Rufus climbed the stairs and kicked in the door with two hand guns
drawn. Mr Frierson had armed himself with a shotgun and fired once..
missing Rufus.  It is not known if Rufus fired or not. Mr Frierson fired again
and hit Rufus in the chest and he kept coming. Mr Frierson had fired all
his shots and turned the gun around to use as a club and swung it as
hard as he could, in the mean time Rufus had picked up a chair and
held it in front of him, but Mr Frierson was such a large man that the gun
broke the chair, shattering the shotgun stock and the steel cock of the
shotgun was buried in Rufus' skull.  He died in a matter of minutes.
There was such a sigh of relief in the town that Rufus was dead, that
Mr Frierson was not charged for any crime.

It is also ironic, that Samuel B Moore (then ex-governor) was elected
to fill out the term of Rufus King Anderson in the Senate.

James Patton ANDERSON

¹Notes from William Kent Anderson 28 Oct 1999.. "Notes for JAMES PATTON ANDERSON:
In October of 1810. James Patton Anderson was standing on the
Steps of the Bedford Courthouse at Shelbyville and was approached
by Jonathan Magness and his two sons Perry green Magness and
David Magness.  A quarrel exploded and James Patton pulled a dirk
from his pantaloons but friends drew him aside.    Both groups
exchanged shouts and curses for a short while.    A very large crowd
was gathering.  After a short time, Perry Green Magness walked up
to James Patton and shot him through the heart.

Jonathan Magness and his sons were apprehended and the best
lawyers appeared on both sides of the case. Counsel included
such members of the Nashville bar as John Haywood, Felix Grundy,
later a United States Senator, and Jenkins Whiteside, just elected
Senator.   the Magnesses objected that they would not get a fair
trial, and it was shifted to Williamson.  The jury found Perry Magness
guilty and was sentenced to be branded and imprisoned for
eleven months.     Sitting in the courtroom during all the preceedings
was James Patton's good friend,  Andrew Jackson.

Jonathan Magness and his other son David, were held for later
trial for pressing Perry Green to shoot James Patton. The trial was
held in May 1811 in the Franklin Courthouse, but he and his son
were found not guilty.".
