Listers,
A bunch of names are missing from the 1870 census, where I would expect
to find them here in Indiana. I think they are listed under a different
spelling by mistake, such as Wallace, Walls, or Wells, or even Hall. I
would appreciate a lookup on the Soundex film to see if any of these
names show up there for the county. My best hunch is that they are
located in the area of Randolph County, IN (southern part) Wayne County,
IN (northern part) or anywhere in Henry County. I think this family was
Methodist. There may be more children in this household, such as maybe a
HIX or HICKS child who was born about 1865 that is also a grandchild of
Wiley and Jereter.
Nathan L. WALL age 48 or 49 (son of Wiley)
Martha WALL age 46 (her maiden name was TURNER)
Robert Franklin WALL age 14 or 15 (also known as Franklin Wall or Frank
Wall)
Adison WALL, age 11
Charles Elwood WALL or Elwood WALL age 7 or 8
Emma WALL age 3, 4, or 5.
Jereter or Jeretta WALL age 67 or 68 (her maiden name was probably
VICKERY)
Wiley WALL age 70 or 71
William F. WALL age 8 (orphaned grandson of Wiley and Jereter) <--my
ggrandfather!!
All people born NC except for Emma who was born Indiana. Martha took
her children to Kansas (Cherokee County, KS) sometime before 1880.
Help!!! much appreciated,
Tim Walls
PS All these names are accounted for in 1880, 1885, and 1860 where
applicable, not for 1870.
