Ballard’s first wife, Anna Thomas,22 had died some years before him, on 26 September 1678.23 He had evidently remarried, as in York was recorded 24 July 1691, “an order ag’t Mr Thomas Barbar, High Sheriff, is granted Mr Tho: Ballard, Assigne Alice Ballard, Ex’c’r’x of Coll: Tho: Ballard, Assigne Henry Waring, being for ye non-appearance of Jno Easton.”24 This suit was dismissed 24 September 1691, the case being dropped. The entry, in connection with the hereinafter mentioned suit brought by William Ballard at the last named court, would indicate that Colonel Ballard married, second, Alice _____, who survived him and acted as his executrix. By this second marriage there were no children.
