I have a couple of John Ball's on my tree in Colchester, Essex.Trouble is they are quaker, which rules out the military.However, I do have an Abraham Ball, married Susan Potter daughter of John Potter of Hadleigh in Suffolk.There are certainly connections with Essex and the Potters [both Johns married Potters].Abraham's mother in law was Susan Potter, married to John Potter who died in 1660 at Hadleigh [Essex/Suffolk border].
I also have ref to a marriage between Rose Potter who married first John Cardy in 1682 at Wakes Colne, secondly she married John Ball, although the ref I have to them is in Rose's fathers will, William Potter dated 1699, proved 1702.I haven't found their marriage yet.Many of William Potter's family have connections with St James Parish in Colchester.
I will try and help if you want to let me have further details - why do you think they were ex. Colchester?
