NC Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Guilford?read=1446 Surname: Wall, Vickery, Vickrey ------------------------- I was struck by a naming coincidence and surname coincidence, perhaps just a coincidence. Soloman or Solomon WALL (1782-1863) fathered several children of Hannah MORGAN. I believe Solomon was from Rowan County, and may have been son or nephew of John WALL and Elizabeth Scarborough of that county. Definitely he was a nephew of Samuel WALL (<1753-1823) and definitely he fathered at least two illegitimate children of Hannah's. I don't know Hannah's parents. I think Soloman's father was William WALL. Lastly, the name Alson was used by Soloman's full first cousin, Brittain WALL in naming eldest son Alson R. WALL (1827-1907). Alson's mother was a descendant of the Quaker WALL line from Chester Co., PA; his great grandmother was Martha Wall, dau. of John WALL (b. abt 1719) and Phebe BUFFINGTON who married in 1740 at Bradford MM, Chester Co., PA.
