• Notes

  ELIAS BALL (1676?-1751). Father of John Coming Ball; grandfather of Henry Laurens (1763-1821) and John Laurens; father-in-law of John Ashby (1698-1729), George Austin, Philip Dawes, Henry Laurens (1724-1792), and John Vicaridge. Elias Ball was born in the parish of Stockentine, Devonshire, the second son of William Ball, a farmer. About 1698 he immigrated to South Carolina, where his father's half-brother, John Coming, had already settled. He inherited Comingtee at the 'tee' of the Cooper River from John Coming's widow, Affra. In 1701 he married Elizabeth Harleston who was a relative of his aunt, Affra Coming. They had many children, but only four survived childhood: Anne (m. 1st Philip Dawes. 2nd George Austin), Elias, Elizabeth (m. 1st John Ashby, 2nd John Vicaridge, 3rd Richard Shubrick), and John Coming. Elizabeth Harleston Ball died in 1720, and within eleven months, much to the consternation of his first wife's family, Elias Ball remarried. His second wife was Mary Delamere, a girl no older than his eldest daughter. Their union produced seven offspring, but only Eleanor (m. Henry Laurens) reached adulthood..
