tr. rr, o-. (ri-and- lather oi \V ashmgton, to the present day. Of the collateral members of Washington's maternal family, one, of whom incidental mention has been made, Colonel Bar- ges Ball, deserves some further notice. Already related, through both the Balls and Biirgeses, to the Commander-in-Chief, and afterwards the husband of liis niece, he was, for a short time, like John Parke Custis, tlie step-son, a volunteer Aide, without pay, in his military family, which position, preferring more ...active service in the' field, he soon exchanged for a Captaincy in the Line, rising to the rank of Colonel before his retirement. Only once during his military career did he incur anything like censure from jiis superior officers, having on the 5th of July, 1776, the ycry day after the declaration of Independence, been subjected to a court-martial for negligence in suffering a stranded vessel to fall into the hands of the enem\' ; of which charge he was honorably and unanimously acquitted by the 21 Court, of which Major Spotswood was President.
