Also, Katherine, I'm at a lost to make anything out of comparing the two Brunswick road orders. Cappt Poythris and John Wall live on two different roads and all the tithables (residents along the particular road)are entirely different. All I can make out of this one is that they both lived in Brunswick County. I'll have to refer you to Lou on this one. R. B. Batte only has the following note which is the text for his chart "Poythress Family in Virginia": 214 Ann Poythress m. John Wall. Numerous decendants are given in the trial chart of the Eppes Society. Given that the Eppes/Epps people are all over the various genealogy wires this might prove a worthwhile place to search.

My line is from "Colonel" John Wall who lived down near Fort Christiana, and later Lawrenceville. The other John Wall line lived in the northern part of the county on or near Waqua Creek. This last is - I think Katherine's line of Walls (see, I've been paying attention <g>). So far I have not been able to find any real evidence that they were related, but "feel" with pretty high confidence that they were - perhaps the two elder John Walls were as close as cousins. The two lines of Walls are very hard to distinguish, but with practice and correlation in time one can begin to determine the difference between the two - for most records. Until the researcher has obtained this familiarity, though, it is very easy to confuse the two families. Lou -----Original Message----- From: John M.

We have that one (and many more); including, in fact a whole CD-ROM full of VA Poythress data which includes some Wall entries and much more. While our list server is operative (it's on Rootsweb), our webpage (poythress.net) is unfortunately a "read only" proposition and nothing new has been posted in the last couple of years. This comes about because we are list-meisterless. In the meanwhile, I have collected (I hope)all the information on the website plus digitizing much, much more: Wm&Mary Quarterly entries, the Swem Index, etc. etc. I provide a free service in which I simply keep an active file on my hard drive and burn a copy CD on request and mail one to anyone furnishing me a snailmail address. I would be happy to mail you one if you wish and you can send me your snail mail directly > brerfox@bellsouth.net < without having to post it on the internet. There is no charge at all and I'm happy to handle this. Maynard P. S. I'm assuming you have checked the Wall entry that IS on the webpage site. Click on Studies, Timelines and Charts in the left hand column of page 1. When you get to this page the second entry is a fairly comprehensive study of the Wall-Poythress connections done by one of our group, Lou Poole. -----Original Message----- From: katherine russell [mailto:kjrussell@clearwire.net] Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2005 11:29 AM To: POYTHRESS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: brunswick co road reports 1732-1746 & june 1733 O.S.,Page 26 Henry Cook is appointed supervisor of a road from Capp Poytris's plantation on fountain's Creek to Henry Wych's ford over Meherrin and......all the male laboring tyths between the Cane branch and the G.....swamp and that James Parham, John Clyburn, John Walker, Thomas Busby, Thomas Burnett,and Francis Steed assist in clearing the same..

Thanks, I know Bruswick co was large during this time frame. I didn't continue sending the information to the list. I didn't find another record for a Poythress. John and Michael Wall are listed together on entry's. Also find a Wm Wall. ...James Mackdaniel is appt surveyor.....from Maherrin River near Mizes to the main rd instead of Wm Maclin gent... ....The overseer of the upper part of the rd from James MIZES to the fork of the Roanoke.. also listed was a Jeremiah Mize in another record. My Peter Wall m. Mary Mize b. abt 1770-75 va, they married 1787 Brunswick co va. I'm pretty sure I already have some of this information, but I haven't put it in my computer and haven't located my paper files yet. (which wall family from Brunswick) Another clue that I might follow to Susannah Poythress Pryer is Peter Massa. He is mentioned in a record as another circut rider methodist preacher with Francis Poythress. My Pryor family marry into the Massa line, but I have not really tried to follow that line. What little I have done has lead to dead ends. Maybe this Peter may lead somewhere. Every last name of my Pryor children born before 1810 marry someone on the 1808 White co tax list, white co, falling water. Capt. Bird Smith. The only one of these kids I can find alive in 1880 is Elizabeth Pryor Smith (m. Bird Smith) She was born 1802 KY and has her father born MD mother VA. I can't prove this is my Elizabeth Pryor in 1880 however. She is in the right state and county in IL for it to be her, married to the right Smith name, though he is dead in 1880.
