Is this her?
I found a marriage for an Ann Pamela Green to a William Ball, date 11 Feb 1797, in Baltimore, Maryland–in the First Methodist Episcopal Church.
I first found it at the LDS website. Then I found it listed at the USGenWeb site for Maryland–minus the name of the church.
Is this her, the right Ann Pamela? I tend to believe it is–the time is right–I have the date of the birth of their first child as 1800. Their daughter Ann Pamela Ball Pettibone Sweetser’s 1880 account of her family history states that her mother and father were from Maryland and Scotland. I have not put much stock in this information as those early histories are notoriously unreliable. But this is the same history that states that her mother died in Clark County Indiana, and as posted just previously, this has turned out to be the case, based on the death notice in the New York Spectator.
Another bit of info that supports this hypothesis is that Ann Pamela Green Ball’s second son was named William Green Ball. He is “my” line. So does this mean Ann Pamela’s father’s name was William? Or is the William after his father and the Green after his maternal grandfather? Or both?
Much more work to do. But it feels like, for the first time in many many years, that a little progress is being made on this line.
