rarely done.

On the 10th day of Nov 1838.
Isham Ball, a resident of said County personally appeared before the subscriber a Justice of the peace in and for the County aforesaid, and being duly sworn, made oath that he is the youngest of nine children, the issue of James and Susan Ball late of Chesterfield County Virginia. That the fourth of said nine children was Ann (Nancy) Ball. That he has always understood from all the older member of his fathers family that his sister said Ann Ball was married at or near Chesterfield Court House Virginia to Thomas Miller of Cecil County Maryland
who had been an officer in the revolutionary army, but that owing to his said Isham Ball being so young at the time he has no personal recollection of the marriage, that all his other brothers and sisters so far as he knows or believes are dead except his said sister Ann Miller and his brother Archer Ball, of Chesterfield County, who for many years past, has been out of his right mind, he cannot from the circumstances above mentioned of his extreme
youth, say at what time the marriage took place, but
is very certain it must have been previous to the 1st of Janr 1794. and lastly that his sister Ann Miller, is as
the widow of said Thomas Miller, having never been married to any other man.
