Benjamin Ball1

M, #5428, b. circa 1677
     Benjamin Ball was born circa 1677; Comment by DGB: DNA testing of descendants of Benjamin shows that he was a descendant of John Ball and Elizabeth Pierce of Watertown and Lancaster MA. Benjamin was probably the son of John Ball and Sarah Bullard (and grandson of John Ball and Elizabeth Pierce) of Watertown, Massachusetts, but this has not been proven. The only other suggested option for parents would be Eleazer Ball and Priscilla Wood, but Eleazer was the son of Nathaniel Ball of Concord MA and the male descendants of that Nathaniel have markedly different DNA patterns than for descendants of Benjamin, so Eleazer is not a viable candidate. End of comment.1 He was the son of John Ball and Sarah Bullard. Benjamin Ball married Mary Brewer, daughter of John Brewer and Elizabeth Rice, on 29 March 1704 at Framingham, Middlesex Co., MA; "Mary Bruer."2
     Benjamin came to Framingham 1703, leased 44 acres of land lying on both sides of Stoney Brook from Col. Buckminster; he took deed for this land 21 January 1734. He built a house on the south side of the brook, near Bullard's bridge; this was sold 7 March 1751 to Allen Flagg of Worcester.3
