"Joseph Matth\u00E4us Ball (May 24, 1649 \u2014 July 11, 1711) is the grandfather of President George Washington and eldest son of John Washington and Anne Pope Washington. The Ball family line connects to George Washington through his maternal lineage. Joseph Ball was the father to George Washington's Mother, Mary Ball Washington.

Joseph served as a justice of the county court, a vestryman for his church parish, as a Member of the House of Burgess (in 1698, 1700, and 1702), and as a lieutenant colonel in the county militia.
