Eliphalet Ball (July 29, 1722 – April 6, 1797) was a Presbyterian minister and an early settler in Saratoga County, New York.
The couple had four sons, three of whom survived to adulthood: Cornelius (1750–1771), who died young, John (1756–1838), Stephen (born c.1759,[4] and Flamen (1761–1816).
After the death of his wife, Elizabeth, Ball married Ruth Beecher of Amity, New York, in 1783; the couple had no children.
[3][6] He was a sympathizer of the "New-Light" movement of Henry Alline, part of the First Great Awakening, which rejected the power structure and ceremonials of the established church.
Because of the disruption caused by the American Revolution the pulpit at his former church in Bedford had become vacant, so that year he returned to Westchester and occupied the position until 1790.
