I am interested in any Ball family from New England particularly the descendants of John Ball and wife Sarah Bullard, 1644-1722 and Benjamin Ball and wife Mary Brewer, 1679-1751 Both of MA. My branch of the Ball family were Loyalists; Queen's loyal Rangers, Samuel apparently returned to the new USA after the war, Shadrack and Solomon Settled in Ontario. My progenitor, Jacob Ball, the youngest brother, settled in Brome, Brome Co. Quebec. There was a sister, Susannah, Who married 1st Amos Martin and 2nd peter Asselstine.

I have good research on Solomon and Jacob, but Shadrack has been a very big brick wall. He had 5 sons born between 1780 and 1813, Timothy, Cyrenius, Belknap, Angel and Sanford. Their last known domicil was Frontenac Co. Ontario in 1834 when all 5 applied for lands as sons of an United Empire loyalist they were awarded land in Lambton Co. Ontario. The land apparently was already accupied; I do not know how they determined this but thats the last we know about them. Disappointed, they may have even crossed lake into the USA

Should the question be asked, I have my DNA recorded with familytreedna.com and ysearch.org
