William BALLARD was born about 1617 in England. He died on Jul 10, 1689 in Lynn, Essex, Massachusetts. He has Ancestral File Number R8KS-NT. WILLIAM BALLARD was born in England, as his name
and associations here show, and about the year 1617, as by
his deposition at a later time. He is generally believed to
have come in the ship "Mary and John," sailing from old
England on March 26, 1634. He would have been only
eighteen at the time which is rather young to set off for
a new world, but there are many other instances of very
young men coming to America. Moreover, William
Ballard of Andover was associated in both Newbury and
Andover with some of the others who came on that vessel.
In 1645 he owned land in Newbury, Massachusetts, and
in 1643 his name appears in the records of Dedham, in
the same Colony, as giving bond to pay fines imposed
upon two men convicted of "mutinous and turbulent
speeches." There is no record of him in Dedham other
than this, but he may have resided there for a short
period. He undoubtedly spent the greater part of his
life in Andover, Massachusetts, where his name appears
first on the earliest entry in the town records, giving
a list of "the names of all free house houlders in
order as they came to towne." His is the sixteenth
name and as it is known that some of the others named
immediately before and after him moved from Newbury
to Andover in 1644, he may be presumed to have taken up
his residence there about that time.
An early deposition of his gives both his age and bears
evidence to his hospitable spirit. The document is dated
1662, and relates to a neighbor's lawsuit. It reads: "The
deposition of William Balard aged a bought 45. This
deponent saith that a bought sixe weekes senc the houes
of Job Tiler being burned he gave the sd. Tilers wife
leave to com with her family for a time and live at his
houes hir husband at that time not being at home which
accordingly shee did and there remaynes to this time."
The spelling is the notary's.
The house referred to was probably the residence men-
tioned in the following abstract of a deed which he made
the following year. "William Ballard of Andover
husbandman, exchanged lands with William Chandler
and deeded to him his house and barn and 4 acres of
land and one hortyard (orchard), bounded by lands of
Nathan Parker, John Lovejoy, Andrew Allen, of
Chandler and by the highway; his wife Grace joining in
the deed; date, May 20 and 25, 1663."
William Ballard was engaged in the war against the
Narragansetts, better known as King Philip's War, in
1675-1676. He served in the garrison at Chelmsford, Mas-
sachusetts, where he was on duty on January 25, 1675/6,
and drew pay of 02.08.00. He was then fifty-nine years
old, his age explaining the comparatively inactive service.
The wife of William Ballard, as here appears, was
named Grace,Berwick. He died on July 10, 1689, and his widow on
April 27, 1694, both in Andover.
William Blunt, Henry Holt, Samuel and Joseph Butter-
field, and John Spalding were sons-in-law.
William Ballard had nine children: Joseph, William,
Sarah, Elizabeth, John 2, Hannah, Lydia, Abigail, and
Ann.
