Abigail Angeline Ball
b. 1841
Life
Records & Research
Abigail Angeline Ball was born 24 February 1841 (the source gives her birthplace as New York), a daughter of Stephen Munn Ball and Abigail S. Throop. Her identity is well anchored: The New England Ball Project record (verified via the Internet Archive) agrees with the family report on the exact birth date and both parents. The same record gives a married surname of Turner and a death in November 1867 (age 26); those two details rest on this single genealogy source and carry no corroborating particulars (no husband’s given name, no death day or place), so they are recorded at "likely" rather than "confirmed." Parent and sibling context from the companion page is consistent with the known facts, including the mother’s 1843 death.
