Biography

3. Drury WALL b. 21 April 1788 Halifax Co., Va d. 9 July 1857 Forsyth Co., NC m. 1) Elizabeth GRIFFIN 28 March 1812 Halifax Co., Va. d/o Elisha GRIFFIN & Sarah GOLD. Elizabeth died 8 Oct 1823 m. 2) Tobitha BROWDER b. 1 Mar 1800 d. 23 Sept 1880 Forsyth Co. NCd/p Thompson BROWDER & Tabitha JOHNSON NOTE: Drury was a veteran of the War of 1812 and Tobitha applied for a widow's pension. This pension proves Drury & Adam were brothers as Adam is named in the pension claim as is "nephew" Mastin WALL.

4. Catherine WALL b. 1793 d. after 1880 NOTE: believed to be living with James Mastin WALL in the 1880 census where a Catherine WALL "Aunt" is living with James and 2nd wife Susan Rebecca BOOZE which means she likely never married and died without issue.

5. Daniel Jr. WALL b. ca 1796 Halifax Co., Va d. after 1860 Of Stokes Co. NC m. Polly CRAIG who was born about 1805. No further info on Polly

6. Adam WALL b. 1803 Halifax Co., Virginia d. 16 April 1886 Stokes Co., NC m. 15 Nov 1830 to Mary W. "Polly" BARR d/o John BARR & Minnie Annie RAY

7. Linny WALL b. Before 1813 m. 9 Jan 1828 to William VEST NOTE 1850 census Bethania, Stokes Co., NC

8. Elizabeth WALL b. ???? d. after 1850 <<to Laurens Co., South Carolina???>> m. William VAUGHAN s/o John VAUGHAN & Amelia JONES NOTE: Elizabeth WALL VAUGHAN is technically not verified. My Great Uncle William Clarence WALL s/o Shadrach Edward WALL & Mary Jane HUFF, before he passed away in 1980, wrote down what he recalled of the WALL family origins. He claimed Byrd WALL had a sister who married a VAUGHAN//VAUGHN but he could not recall either of their first names. My Aunt Mary Lou WALL STAHL & I have verified every other claim he made, his memory was sound, and he did not guess if he didn't recall exactly. While my Grandfather Ernest Leonard WALL was the eldest son, it was youngest son Uncle Clarence who seemed to have paid the most attention to remembering what he was told of the WALL family origins. I located this marriage of William VAUGHAN to Elizabeth WALL up in Mecklenburg County Virginia and it is a perfect fit to Uncle Clarence's memory. John VAUGHAN lived near the Byrd WALL & Lucy GRIFFIN homestead in Halifax Co. Va along the Mecklenburg Co. line down near the border b/w Va & NC so the fact that William and Elizabeth married in Mecklenburg Co., Va is not problematic due to where Byrd & Lucy WALL's property was prior to relocating to Stokes Co., North Carolina. Plus, Amelia JONES VAUGHAN the mother of William VAUGHAN, was the sister of Philadelphia JONES GRIFFIN YANCEY, whose first husband Francis GRIFFIN was the brother of Lucy GRIFFIN WALL's grandfather John GRIFFIN Sr. m. Sarah PARRISH so there are other family tie ins as well. And the fact William & Elizabeth appear to have relocated to Laurens Co., SC would explain why they are not well remembered by the other WALL lines. Most of the WALLs and allied families who left the Stokes Co., Forsyth Co. vicinity went west to Tennesse/Kentucky//Missouri//Kansas not South toward South Carolina.^[1]
