Surnames: WALL WALLS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/kUB.2ACE/2021.1.3.1 Message Board Post: You know what? I will check with my 4th cousin to see if she has anything like that silverware from those days with Barzillai's name on it. Per the 1840 Census, if you will check this for yourself, Wiley WALL lived in Guilford County, NC and in 1850 was listed with occupation 'mechanic'. This could mean something. Perhaps Wiley lived near Barzillai in 1840 and perhaps they were close friends. Wiley's wife Jereter was Quaker. Stay tuned...Tim
