She was a widow with two children, Elizabeth and John Johnson, when she became housekeeper for Joseph Ball. Many are the romantic fancies that have been woven about her name without the least fact to support them. That she was good and true and worthy to be the mother of such a woman as Mary Ball Washington and the grandmother of such a hero as General Washington is sufficient for us. Her name will live when many of royal blood are forgotten. of Captain Richard Hewes, a vestrynam of St Stephen's parish, Northumberland, and removed to this parish with her three children, John and Elizabeth Johnson, and Mary Ball, who had not reached her fifth birthday. Captain Hewes died in 1713, and she followed him to the other world when Mary Ball was but thirteen. Her will, which was unearthed by G. W. Beale of more recent years, is dated December 17, 1721. ohn Johnson did not long survive his mother, for his will was probated on February 22, 1726, in Westmoreland.

It probably originated from the fact that William Montague married, 1727, a dau. of Capt. Richard Ball, who was Mary Ball's cousin [their fathers were brothers].

A tradition exists in the Ball family that Mrs. Mary Johnson was born in England. This tradition has been traced to Mrs. Ann Shearman, whose mother was Esther Ball, the half sister of Mary Ball. If it is true, that she was born in England, then - any descent from Peter Montague was impossible. No record has been found to show the maiden name of Mrs. Mary Johnson, or who she was before her marriage to Johnson. If she was a Miss Montague, she would have to be a daughter of one of the sons of the emigrant Peter Montague. One of his sons did have a daughter whose name was Mary Montague, but church records prove that she married, Oct. 24, 1682, Thomas Payne, and no record exists to show that she ever afterward married any one else. Records of that time and locality are lost, and the maiden name of Mrs. Mary Johnson [Washington's grandmother] will probably never be known. veral times. No one knows for sure just how many times nor which surname she used when marrying Capt. Joseph Ball. This has become a confusing factor in doing family research and led to many claiming Capt. Ball's wife as an ancestor. My most convincing source of information is my Grandfather, Fielding Montague. Many is the time that he told us about his Great Grandfather Andrew Montague being a Cousin and friend of George Washington. ---------------------------ed. However, no record of this Mr. Johnson's death exists. Her maiden name has also been speculated to be Montague, as a Mary Montague of roughly the same age attended the same church, and had a cousin marry in to the Ball family.

Further, a burial record for Mary Payne is found int he Christ Church parish register.f both Mary Ball and Mary Montague and citations to all records.
