Concerning the Tomahawk Creek, Pittsylvania County, Virginia Ball family, 1770-1925 Title Also Known As: Ball family of Virginia Statement of Responsibility: by Evelyn Briggs Baldwin Authors: Baldwin, Evelyn Briggs, 1862-1933 (Main Author) Format: Manuscript/Manuscript on Film Language: English Publication: Washington, D.C. : L.C.

John Ball's will is copied in this document. Will states these relatives: daughter=Sarah Campbell (deceased); daughter=Elizabeth Jefferson (alive); grandson=John Mahan (named as executor of will) Will states these are nine legatees. The exact relationship to John Ball is not specified. This SEEMS to be a list of his children but this is a GUESS. 1) Elizabeth Jefferson 2) Catharine Mahan 3) Thomas Ball 4) John Ball's heirs 5) Ruth Peak's heirs 6) Olive Ball 7) Sarah Campbell's heirs 8) Samuel Ball 9) George Hetrick
Why are her sisters named by name, but Drusilla's HUSBAND, George Hetrick inherits her money? Is it a legality as all money a woman had at that time (and the woman) was property of her husband? Does this mean her named sisters were widows?
