We have quite a lot of orphan PACE and WALLs! This may still be a coincidence, but here goes: In northern Randolph County, Samuel WALL bought 100 and 150 acres in 1805 from Thomas SULLIVAN. In 1818, he also bought 100 acres from William CLARK, who apparently got this land from the Samuel CLARK estate in 1785. The Thomas Sullivan tracts apparently were originally John RYAN's who sold it to William CLARK before it passed to Thomas SULLIVAN according to the scribbled notes I have from the late James W. Pickard's WALL notes. He probably got his data directly from the court records, as he has some good physical descriptions here: - the Thomas Sullivan tracts were on Dougan CLARK's line. Dougan CLARK was a well known Quaker minister who was raised as a Methodist. His father was William Clark. Dougan CLARK was coexecutor of Samuel WALL's will when Samuel WALL died in 1823. Samuel's wife Mary _____ was also executor. Possibly this Mary was Mary Elener WATSON, who married Samuel WALL in 1785 in Wake County, NC. Dougan CLARK was the son of William Clarke. Data is attached at the end of this note. - the William CLARK tract sold to Samuel WALL was on Thomas HINSHAW's line. William CLARK's farm was on Muddy Creek but apparently some was also on Deep River. And Samuel WALL is of course, listed on the 1815 and 1820 Tax List with 350 acres on Deep River in each tax list. He is listed without a poll in 1815, so he was over age 50 (probably 51 or older). This would make his age consistent with the Samuel WALL who was listed in Wake County in 1790 and 1800. The Samuel WALL farm bordered Deep River.His son Britten WALL's land was on West Caraway Creek. I have not been able to locate this creek on the map. There was a Little Caraway Creek shown on the 1815 tax list, to the west of Caraway Creek and this may be the same as West Caraway Creek. I made copies of all the court records past 1835 for this WALL family, but they are exceedingly difficult to read and transcribe so it will take a long time to work on this and figure it out. I have asked a family member for help with the 1815 map since he had done a lot of work plotting out the land ownerships for a different but closely related family. Per the Randolph Co. NC Genealogical Journal, Fall 1998, p. 7, I find the following: William CLARKE, captain during the Revolutionary war, b. 1753 d. 21 Jul 1836, one of 7 sons of Samuel CLARKE, a slaveowning Presbytarian on Muddy Creek (a tributuary of Deep River) above BELL's Mill in Randolph Co.
