William Ball immigrated with his father, he was Captain of the Lancaster County Militia and a Burgess.

William Ball II was born June 2nd, 1641 in London, England to William Ball I and Hannah Atherold. His father and older brother Richard first came to the Virgina colony by 1653. William II's brother Joseph next came to Virginia and finally William I sent for William II along with his mother and sister. William II appears to have held land in Baltimore County, MD in 1659 but was recorded in Lancaster, VA by 1663. There the family lived on land patented in 1663 by William I on Narrow-Neck Creek near the west side of the mouth of the Corrotoman River.

William II married Margaret Williamson before November 11th, 1672. She was the son of James Williamson of Old Rappahannock County. William and Margaret had nine children. They lived on a 227-acres plantation near present day Lancaster Courthouse. William II held many of the same offices as his father; he was a Burgess, Chief Justice in county court and an officer in the militia. When his father died in 1680 William inherited most of his lands including the property that came to be known as Millenbeck.

William II wrote his will on September 28th, 1694 and it was proven soon after on November 16th. He left his land in Lancaster County to his son William III who would go on to develop the plantation at Millenbeck.
