We have tried to find the "trial chart of the Eppes Society" that Batte mentions and have failed. I even wrote Dorman and asked him (got somewhat of a vague response, but I'll gladly share it if you're interested). We NC Walls think we might descend from this Ann/John marriage, and have built a good circumstantial-evidence case, but as Lou will tell you, it's not proof. If you have any luck finding it, please let me know. Katherine, I took the lineage that you posted a week or so ago and tried to match it against our line, with no luck. I assume you know of the "Walls of Walltown" book? That's my line..... Steve Wall -----Original Message----- From: "John M.

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..

I know that most appear to be interested in the Wall relationship but what I found interesting of Kathryn's Russell's "brunswick co road reports 1732-1746" was the April 1733 extract mentioning the surname Brewer. "April 1733 (typed as 1773 but with all the 1733 records) John Wall gent is appointed surveyor of a briddle road from his Mill to Chamberlains Ford and that the tyths of Henry Fox, John Irby, John Chapman, George Brewer,......" My William & Julia Poythress whose daughter Martha married Edward O'Neal in March 1880 per the Greensville Co, VA marriage records appear to have a Brewer link. In the 1850 Greensville Co, VA Census, a Martha Brewer, age 50, is in the home of Wm (33) & Julia (29)Potis, HH 309, Hicksford Co PO. I have assumed at this point, that this Martha Brewer is likely the mother of Julia. I would be interested if anyone on this Poythress mailing lists have Poythresses which also have a Brewer line.
