Mother: Sarah "Sally" Campbell
Married: 18 January 1825
Where: Wilkes County, North Carolina
Wife: Elizabeth Rash
      Born: 1804
      Where: Wilkes County, North Carolina
      Father: Asa Rash (40)
      Mother: Nancy Coleman (41)

Children (born in Hancock County, Indiana; there may have been older children):
1. Miles Ball born ca. 1835. He married Amilda ____ who was born in 1834.
      Child: (only one known)
      a. Mary Ann Ball, born 1856
2. William H. Ball, born 1837. He married Louisa Cass on 6 September 1866 in Hancock Co., Ind.
3. Isaac C. Ball, born 25 September 1842.

The wife of Biram Ball, Elizabeth Rash, was the daughter of Asa and Nancy Coleman Rash. Her mother was Mary Campbell Coleman, who was a sister to Biram Ball’s mother Sarah Campbell Ball.

Mary Campbell Coleman was an aunt to Biram Ball, and Sarah Campbell Ball was a great aunt to Elizabeth Rash Ball. Perciphull Campbell, Sr. was Biram Ball’s grandfather, and his wife’s great grandfather.

Biram and Elizabeth Rash Ball moved to Hancock County, Indiana where they were listed in the 1850 Federal Census. Biram Ball was granted original land on 27 November 1834, in Hancock County.

Notes (not from Nancy Miller Thompson Smith's book) about the above:
So, what relation were Biram and Elizabeth other than husband and wife? Biram's aunt was Elizabeth's grandmother. So Biram was first cousins with Elizabeth's mother Nancy and first cousin once-removed with Elizabeth.
It says they were in the 1850 census in Indiana but their geni entries give his death year as 1845 and her death year as 1847. The following 1850 census entry looks like it's them, so I'm inclined to think both geni death years are wrong.
Following is an 1850 census entry that appears to be them. The alternate first names are interpretations of the difficult-to-read printing in the image of the census page. The names and ages of the three sons are close to the above. The last name, John Ball, was born about 1822, much earlier than the other 3 sons. But it jibes with familysearch, which lists a fourth son, John, born in 1822: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LHQ8-YLM.
