Two years after the death of Burgess Ball, his widow Frances Washington Ball married a medical Doctor, Francis Peyton, 7 April 1802. They had one child, Adelaide, born 1803, died 1805.
Notes from the guardian account for Burgess Ball's children show that Dr. Peyton was active in running the farm that had been inherited by his wife. Dr. Peyton wrote his will 14 Oct 1807, but rather than dying a natural death he "was assassinated near Leesburg, Va., Dec. 5, 1808, by a Mr. Littlejohn, son of Rev. Mr. L."
In January 1809 John Cartnail was paid $2.00 for digging grave No. 1.19 The name of the cemetery was not given, but it had to be Springwood, or the Ball Burial Ground. William Thompson died before Francis Peyton, but his remains were probably moved there after the death of his wife.
