Response to a question about the Wall children The children of John Wall (Dorman leaves a scintilla of doubt even about him as the father) and Ann, daughter of Joshua Poythress, are in fact Nancy, William, and John Wall, according to Dorman. Nancy is sometimes a nickname for Ann, but I wasn't being clever. I was just wrong. My database contains the index cards to support other families and family members one by one. I am hopeful by reviewing each person 2 or 3 times I can catch mistakes, but I appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks for the correction. Dorman in his first volume on Francis Epes I descendants uses "The Walls of Walltown" as his source, one I am sure you know well. As to the dates, there are some inconsistencies between the so-called Chart A and the index cards. I have at times chosen to take the index cards over the chart. One thing this project has given me is a sense of how very hard it is to establish exact dates for people when their very existence is being extrapolated from wills and deeds in many cases. Batte often uses "s.t." before dates. Can someone help me with a meaning for that one? And thanks for the encouragement. I once wrote a wiseacre email to this list about how many descendants Francis Epes probably has. Now I know for sure. A lot! But with so much intermarriage among kissing cousins probably fewer than I first thought!

Thanks for the great work!! One question: When you qutoe "Dorman source" for the children of Ann P and John Wall, what source are you referring to? The reason I ask is that you show an Ann Wall I didn't know about... Steve Wall
