Way to go, Diana! This is particularly important to Steve Wall, his father, and I. It certainly does not prove that John Wall married Joshua's daughter as we theorize, but it does prove that Joshua Poythress was in Brunswick County (which heretofore I had no proof of), and that John Wall, Jr., was at least acquainted with him. A small but significant find to me....

I cross-checked the archives. Matthias Davis appeared in several exchanges in 1997, but this particularly citation which links him Joshua and J. Wall is not among them. See http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/surname/p/poythress.html to get to the archives. Matthias Davis of Brunswick County for £35-13 Shillings & 2 pence, paid by Joshua Poythress of Prince George County, on negro woman Slave named Judy and her Child also one Negro boy named Dick, dated 27 September 1750.
