"There is some dispute as to the name of the wife of William Ball. W.W. Hoskins in JOHN BALL OF LEE CO., VA at page 25 gives the name of William Ball's wife as Nancy BROCK. B.S. Ball in THE BALLS OF FAIRFAX AND STAFFORD IN VIRGINIA, at page 4 of the Additions, gives his wife as Charlotte (Lottie) May. Charlotte is the wife in the 1850 Census. No marriage record has been found for either marriage. This compiler believes that Charlotte May was the only wife of William Ball of Whitley Co., KY."
