Ball, Frank

Frank Ball came to California in 1847 with Stevenson's New York Volunteers, to fight in the Mexican-American War. Like John Dreher, David Norris, (and others including Colonel Stevenson himself), Ball stayed in California after the war, and ended up in Santa Cruz (presumably before 1850).
