Maynard and Katherine: might as well jump in at this point and point out that there were two John Wall families in early Brunswick County. 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, It's been about 10 years since I looked into the Wall family. I'm not sure what I've done with my information. In fact I think my sister did most of the Wall research. We just moved and I think/hope most of my records are still boxed up.
