Children of WILLIAM BALL and MARY CARAWAY are:
i. ELLEN4 BALL, b. Abt. 1868, Kentucky.
ii. WILLIAM BALL, b. Abt. 1871, Kentucky.
iii. LEWIS EDWARD BALL, b. Feb 25, 1872, Boyd County, Kentucky; d. Apr 14, 1957, Elk Creek, Mingo County, West Virginia; m. ELIZABETH H. YOUNG, Dec 1894, Lawrence County, Kentucky; b. Sep 02, 1866, Irish Creek, Lawrence County, Kentucky; d. Jun 01, 1953, Williamson Memorial Hospital, Williamson, Mingo County, West Virginia.
The 1880 Kentucky census lists Mary's place of birth as North Carolina.
On Mary's son, Lewis Ball's, death record his mother is listed as Cynthia Jane Carroway.
I don't believe Mary had the middle name of "Cynthia" as my great grandmother listed on Grandpa Lewis's death record.I believe Grandma Frances confused his grandmother Cynthia with his mother and listed the name as "Cynthia Jane Carroway".
All leads, hints, info and corrections are deeply appreciated.
Thanks!
