Life
Records & Research
Abigail Angeline Ball was born 24 February 1841 (place given as New York by the source), the daughter of Stephen Munn Ball and Abigail S. Throop. Her identity is well-anchored: the cited New England Ball Project record agrees with the family report on the EXACT birth date and BOTH parents (three independent anchors), so this is the same person. The same record reports a married surname of Turner and a death in November 1867 (age 26), but those two facts rest on a single source that could not be independently verified during this audit (the newenglandballproject.com domain is registered but its nameservers did not resolve, so the cited pages p641/p642 could not be loaded), and they carry no corroborating detail (no husband given name, no death day, no death place). They are therefore retained at reduced ("likely") confidence rather than "confirmed." Parent/sibling context from the companion page (p642), citing the family Bible, is consistent with the known facts (notably the mother's 1843 death).

Open questions (5)
- The sole cited source (newenglandballproject.com, pages p641 and p642) could not be independently verified during this audit: the domain is registered (whois: created 2008, GoDaddy) but its nameservers did not resolve (SERVFAIL/no A record), so the pages could not be loaded. The marriage and death facts that depend on this single, currently-unreachable source should be re-checked against a second independent source (e.g., a New York vital record, census, FindAGrave, or FamilySearch) before publication.
- What was the given name of her husband (surname Turner)? Not recoverable; the marriage rests on a bare surname with no other detail.
- Where exactly did she die, and on what day in November 1867? Only month/year and age 26 are recorded by the single source.
- Did she have any children with her husband Turner? None documented in the consulted sources.
- Where is she buried? No burial record located. A FindAGrave candidate 'Abigail Turner Utterback' (b. 29 Sep 1841, d. 10 Oct 1869, Bellefontaine Cemetery, St. Louis, MO) was correctly REJECTED as a different person (wrong death year 1869 vs 1867, different birth day 29 Sep vs 24 Feb, no parental match).
