From http://www.newenglandballproject.com/g0/p906.htm#i22650:

The following will abstract is the basis for identifying this Alling Ball as the father of the immigrant Alling Ball to New Haven CT:

"John Ball, St. Mary Bowe, London, Citizen and clothworker, London. Will 28 February, 1637/8; proved 9 April, 1638. To brother Samuell Ball £30, and to my mother-in-law £10, and to her sonnes Leonard Cooke and Thomas Cooke 40s. each. To my cousin Mary Russell £3. To her brother Allen Ball, son of my uncle Allen Ball, £3. To two other daughters of uncle Allen Ball £3 each. To couzin John Ball, son of my uncle Hugh Ball, £5. To cozen William Ball, my co-partner, for ring, 20s. To wife of my other couzin William Ball (who is now beyond seas) 20s. to be paid to her own hands and her acquittance without her husband shall be my executor's discharge. To children of cousin Roger Ball 20s. each. To my man Richard 40s. To Giles my partners man 40s. To friend Mr. Trench 30s. for ring. To cousin Newman Rookes £5. and forgive Debts.

Overseers: Mr. Henry Colbron and Richard Price. Witnesses: James Russell, Richard Preice, Richard Ball. Alice Ball. Lee, 50."2

The identity of Alling Ball of New Haven is positively established by the mention Alling's sister Mary Russell. She was the wife of James Russell of New Haven. The Russells had an only daughter, Hannah, who married Thomas Kimberly, Jr., and died without issue, and the children of Alling Ball were next of kin to Mrs. Kimberly. In her will, following the death of her husband, Hannah (Russell) Kimberly gave power of attorney to her kinsman John Ball and sold land to her kinsman Capt. Allen Ball, the two surviving sons of Alling Ball, the immigrant to New Haven CT.3

Disputed Origins

Some (who?) say he was son of William Ball (I) and Joane King, but Jacobus in 1934 identifies no parents for this Alling.

He's also been given an exact birth date and place of 15 Aug 1595 in Salisbury, Wiltshire, England, without source.

He had a married daughter (Mary) by April 1638, suggesting she was born about 1618, suggesting he married by 1617, working back to an estimated birth year of at least 1592.

Biography

Alling Ball has been identified as father of Alling Ball, immigrant to New Haven.

From the 1638 will of his nephew John, clothworker of St Mary Bowe, London, we know that this father Alling:

• had a brother named Hugh;
• had a brother with sons John (testator of 1638), Samuel and Andrew
• had at least one additional brother (and possibly more) who had sons Roger, William (co-partner to John testator of 1638) and another William (probably the immigrant to New Haven who died there in 1648, leaving wife and children in England -- names not known. It's possible that one of these Williams was son of this Alling (and therefore brother to the immigrant Alling Ball).
• had a daughter Mary Russell
• had two additional unnamed daughters. One of them was probably the wife of Thomas Fugill

. Alling Ball, father of the immigrant Alling, was alive at the time of his nephew's 1638 will. Shortly after that will (and no later than 1643), his son Alling emigrated to New Haven Connecticut.

There is no evidence that the father Alling came to New England.
