He was burgess from Lancaster county in the assemblies of 1715, 1718, 1720-22, in the session of May 18, 1732, and in the assembly of 1736-1740. He married (first) July 15, 1699, Eliza Howson, died Jan. 22, 1704-05, probably daughter of Leonard Howson. He married (secondly) April 16, 17--, Mary Conway Daingerfield, daughter of Col. Edwin Conway, and widow of John Daingerfield. She died Sept. 15, 1730. He married (thirdly) April 25, 1742, Mary Ann (Bertrand) Ballendine, daughter of Rev. John Bertrand, of Rappahannock county, and widow of Capt. William Ballendine. Maj. Ball was a vestryman of Christ Church, Lancaster county, and church warden 1743. In 1740 he and Mr. Joseph Ball were allowed to build a gallery in White Chapel Church for their families, provided that it be completed at the same time with the church and furnished in the same style as the west gallery. He died Oct. 13, 1754. His will was dated July 15, 1754, probated Lancaster county, Nov. 15, 1754.
