| Marriage* | Grace Berwick married William Ballard (Immigrant) Future note: http://www.fuzzywunkle.net/genealogy/tree/d0002/g0000030.html says "It is not known when he married Grace, presumed to be Grace Berwick, Daughter of Thomas Berwick. Genealogists often mention a marriage in Bristol, England in the church of St. Mary La Port. Supposedly there is a marriage record existent there, but this researcher has found no direct reference to it. Their first child, Joseph, was born about 1645, so they are presumed to have been married before then."
