Mary Ball, 1708-1789

Mary BALL, daughter of Joseph BALL and Mary MONTAGUE, was born in 1708 in Lancaster County, Virginia.¹ Both of Mary's parents died during her early girlhood, and she was left to the guardianship of a friend and neighbor, George Eskridge, an attorney. A portrait painted by the English artist Middleton reveals her as a decidedly attractive woman of poise and character. In her girlhood she was extremely popular, and was frequently referred to as "the rose of Eppling Forest".

Mary married Augustine WASHINGTON, son of Lawrence WASHINGTON and Mildred WARNER, on 6 March 1729/30 at Epping Forest in Lancaster County, Virginia.^2,3

Mary BALL died on 25 August 1789 in Fredericksburg, Virginia.¹
