About Hannah Fox

Hannah Ball (1650 - 1694)

Hannah (Atherold) Ball and William Ball had at least four children. He was estranged from his daughter, Hannah, who had married David Fox. In his will he left her "5 shillings steerling, which...is an overplus of her portion or desserts." He took precautions to keep her mother from leaving her any part of estate but did not altogether succeed. When Hannah (Atherold) Ball died in 1694, she bequeathed to her :heir loving daughter Hannah Fox, wife of David fox, a suite of red curtains, valens and counterpane and bolster, a pewter cistern to set bottles in, a pewter custard pan, a cabinet that stands next the kitchen, a silver sugar dish, mustard pot, three spoons, a silver trencher." She also tried to leave the :negro and the mulatto girl given me by my husband to dispose of as I please." Whether this attempt to leave the two slaves to Hannah succeeded isn't known, or whether the will was admitted to probate.
