Queries:
Nathan L. Wall/Walls, (parents not proven but believed to be Wiley
Wall/Walls and Jereter (-) Wall/Walls), was born bet. 1821/1822, NC,
died sometime before 1880. Is he buried in Henry County, IN? Wife and
mother of the below children was Martha J. Powell. Due to the timing of
his birthdate, Nathan may have been named for Nathan Hunt, father of
Asenath Hunt, wife of Dougan Clark. Dougan Clark was co-executor of the
Will of Samuel Wall, proven 1823 Randolph County, NC. Samuel's wife Mary
was the other executor. Samuel and Mary Wall were Nathan's probable
grandparents.
Eliza J. Walls, born about 1843, NC, married someone sometime after
1860. Did she marry anyone in Henry County, IN?
Clarkson Walls, born about 1845, NC, did not seem to have made the trip
to IN from NC. Is he listed in Indiana Troops during the war?
Elkany Walls, born about 1847, NC, might have been named after Methodist
minister Elkany Brookshire, for whom Brookshire Methodist Cemetery is
named, but this is just my personal theory based on what I know about my
Walls family in Henry County. Did Elkany Walls marry in Henry County? I
do show a JANE ALEXANDER married ELCENKANNY WALLS on 07-24-1880 in Wayne
County, IN but the date is so late.
Mary Walls, born about 1851, NC, would probably have made the trip to
IN if she were still alive after 1860. I have no further record of her
after 1860. If she married, I would look for a marriage date around 1871
in Henry County. Is there any mention of such marriage in Henry County
indices? I do have a J. D. Hunt married Mary E. Wall before 1870 in
Randolph County, NC and children were Edgar V. Hunt and Catherine Hunt.
Is it possible J. D. Hunt and Mary Wall are listed in Henry County, IN
in 1870? Would J. D. Hunt be related to Asenath Hunt?
Nancy Walls, born about 1853, NC, did not appear to have married anyone
as she was listed as Nancy Walls in 1880, living with her mother Martha
J. Walls in Kansas.
Robert Franklin Walls, born April 5, 1854, NC, did marry Dora Crouse in
1886 in Kansas. Due to his late age, I wonder if Robert Franklin Walls
married anyone in Henry County, IN.
William F. Walls, born about 1856, NC, (not same man as my ggrandfather
of the same name) did not appear to have married.
Adison Walls, born about 1859, NC, did not marry before 1880 as he was
listed at age 21 in Kansas with his mother Martha.
Charles Elwood Walls, son of Nathan L. Wall and Martha J. (Powell) Wall,
was born 5 Oct 1863 in Indiana, after his family left Randolph County,
NC to move to IN before or during the outbreak of the Civil War. Was he
born in Henry County, IN?
Emma Walls, perhaps known also as Louetta Walls or Wall, was born about
1866 in Indiana, same parents Nathan L. and Martha J. (Powell) Wall. Was
she born in Henry County, IN?
If anyone can help on any of these questions, let me know. Thanks,
Tim Walls
