Notes:

The family probably moved to Garrard County, Kentucky prior to 1782and then to Casey County, Kentucky between 1800-1810. Please note #1, 2, & 4 sources below. There is no mention of a Gabriel Wall in the tax record for the 1782-87 dates in Culpepper County, Virginia; However, there does seem to be some family perhaps still living inCulpepper County in 1782-87 A.D.

Notes:

NOTE: Establishing that a Jacob Wall lived in Culpeper County,Virginia was not difficult, because there are a few rare documentswhere he does appear. Plus, there are other researchers who havegraciously shared their family information. It does seem though thatthere may be more than one Jacob Wall perhaps or he married twice; Butcare needs to be taken to distinguish the possibility of two gentlemeninstead of just one. However, I have added the additional informationobtained on wives, and children just in case the two Jacob Wall/Wallsthat there is conflicting information on, end up being one in the sameperson's after more research. And with all families, some of thechildren stayed with the parents, but others migrated to other states. It is quite possible that Joseph may have gone to North Carolina andGabriel stayed in Kentucky. And, as I always like to point out,research continues in order to ferret out as much truth about thefamily?s origins and destinations as possible.

Sinceinformation is so scarce on the Wall Ancestors in America, I haveincluded most of what I came across in research here in these notesfor Jacob Wall's descendants, and have added tid bits of informationto help with the history for a better and more well rounded picture ofthe times and places. Also, the compiler has given to the
"Herman Wall" Family in Indiana all of the records obtained during thegenealogy search. The record information can be obtained from threespecific web sites, www.Ancestry.com, www.familysearch.org, andwww.RootsWeb.com, and the register reports by this compiler are alsoon those three web sites as well. If you are seeking recordinformation from the family, please try those sites before contactingthis compiler. The sites are updated at least every six months withnew information on the multiple families related to their FamilyTrees. Also, some of the family used the "s" after the surname whilemany did not. The same thing occurs today in the 21st Century withinthe family. It makes it difficult to research, but does need to bekept in mind however.

SOME THOUGHTS ON THE FAMILY: Immigration records would indicate thata Jacob Wall boarded ship in Bristol, England for Virginia between the1663-1679 time period, placing Jacobs birth date at or before 1674 asindicated in the third immigration record listed below (all three areprobably the same person).
Jacob & Blanche Wall lived in Virginia in early Colonial 1722 in theSt. George's Parish, Spotsylvania County area. We know from recordslisted below that they were an integral part of the community in whichthey lived. Jacob was a Highway Road Overseer, and both Jacob &Blanche were "Planters", meaning a reasonable sized piece of land asPlantation owners. That the land they owned may have been acontractual agreement in Virginia, as from the records of the CouncilHouse of Bristol, England. We also have some idea that Jacob &Blanche were married prior to 1726 as indicated by Blanche Wall as awitness to a Will with her married name used. (This may have been herfather or her spouse.) The county boundary histories would indicatethat parts of Spotsylvania County became a part of Orange County, anda part of Orange County became Culpeper County. It would not besurprising nor unusual then that the land owned by Jacob Wall shouldend up in this sequence of county changes. Thus, even though heoriginally lived in Spotsylvania County, he died in Orange County.Plus, some of his grandchildren were from Culpeper County as thefamily enlarged. All three counties even to this day in c.2007 A.D.border each other.

NOTE: The passenger records are believed to be the correct ones forthe Jacob Wall of St. George's Parish, Spotsylvania County, Virginiain 1727 who conducts a land transaction with Robert Green. Continueto see notes below. In both cases, the immigration & land record,Jacob Wall is referred to as a Planter or Servants to ForeignPlantations as well as one of the First Settlers in the Colonies ofNorth America.
In England, Bristol's position on the rivers Frome and Avon, whichflows into the Severn, made it an ideal situation for a port. Althoughnot without west coast rivals, it was second only to London for manyyears in the amount of trade which passed through it. Also, a goodmany peoples from Scotland went to England to book passage on shipsfrom English ports to America.

NOTE: It was noted that Jacob Wall was the overseer of the roaddirectly steming from the Germanna Colonies in Virginia. The Wall'snor Jacob Wall is listed with the First German Colony in 1714 nor thesecond one in 1717. Pages 11-12. The colonists of 1717-1719, 2nd &3rd groups, seem to have remained at Germanna, or in thatneighborhood, until 1725 or 1726, when they moved to Madison County.page 13. Excerpt: The location of the Germanna Colonies Settlement,"... was made on a peninsula on the south side of the Rapidan River,which is the southern (more properly the western) branch of theRappahannock, nine miles above its confluence with the northern branchand 13 miles above the site of Governor Spotswood's iron furnace. TheGermanna peninsula, now near the northeastern end of Orange County,Virginia, etc...: page 17; It then is deduced that the Jacob Wall whowas the road overseer, and who owned property in Spotsylvania County,was probably not of German origin since he is not listed with thoseGerman families of Germanna. BOOK: Wayland, John W., GERMANNA,Outpost Of Adventure, 1714-1956; Published by The Memorial FoundationOf The Germanna Colonies In Virginia, INC.; The McClue PrintingCompany, Staunton, Virginia, 1956.

PLEASE NOTE: I found this interesting: "7 June 1727. Peirce Codey isallowed for two days attendance as he was summoned as evidence forJonathan Hood against Jacob Wall." (SEE EXCERPT BELOW FOR MOREDETAILS) Although Virginia did not have an age requirement for courtwitnesses, it is reasonable to assume that Jacob Wall was certainlyover 21 years of age, in 1727. Thus, estimating his birth as havingoccurred before 1706. And if immigration is considered, then hisbirth probably occurred at least in 1674 or earlier. Which would seemreasonable with a death year of 1736 when his estate was appraised inOrange County, Virginia, making him well over 72 years of age.
"1736 - Orange County VA, ordered that James Turner, Nathanel Hillen,Isaac Norman and John Roberts, appraise the estate of Jacob Wall[Orange Co VA Order Book One, Barbara Vines Little, 1990, P. 91]."Source:http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=grantpinnix&id=I009774"
I suspect that the Jacob & William Wall in the military service of Mar1756 together are possibly his sons and they are brothers. Therecould even be another generation that is being missed between JacobWall and the brothers Jacob & William, and Robert Wall. Plus, ifthere was a large family, then they could be from another son. Willcontinue with the research. Would love to find a will. SOURCE:http://www.mindspring.com/~baumbach/cody/pierce1.htm

NOTE: Blanche Wall was a witness to the Will of Isaac Walters in St.George's Parish, Spotsylvania County, Virginia in 1726. This toowould indicate that Blanche and Jacob Wall were still living inSpotsylvania from the court records as Jacob being the Road Overseerand in the Land Transaction between the years of 1722-1727. Also, Ibelieve it would certainly prove that they were married previously to1726 as well since Blanche was referred to as Blanche Wall in thelegal proceedings. There is a good possibility, and most likely,since she was a witness that she may have been the daughter of IsaacWalter. "Walters, Isaac, St. George's Parish, d. June 11, 1726, p.Dec. 6, 1726. Wit.

Para. 3: "For their larger grant,Hite, McKay and Co. were allowed an extension to meet the terms byDecember 25, 1735 ..." IT WAS KNOWN AS THE HITE SETTLEMENT. Page 25,Para. 2; "In September 1757 and again in 1758 Indian raiders broughtthe war within a few miles of Jost Hite's home (which would includeall of the early settlers homes as well). On July 02, 1758, John Hitewrote to 'Collo. George Wasenton (Washington)": "Our inhabitants isall fled ... and we are Generally in Great Fair of the Enemy upon us." Apparently, Jost Hite knew George Washington, because George hadvisited him often at the tavern Jost Hite had owned in thePhiladelphia area prior to his move to Virginia. (Now known as TheFox Inn) Page 26, Para. 2: And, "On June 24, 1767 George Washingtonwrote to Captain John Posey ".... only look to Frederick, and see whatFortunes were made by the Hite's and first takers up of those lands.Nay how the greatest Estates we have in this colony were made, was itnot by taking up and purchasing at very low rates the rich back landswhich were thought nothing in those days, but are now the mostvaluable land we possess."

It is stated in the Orange county, VA order book no.1, that in 1736James Turner, Nathanial Hillen, Issac Norman, and John Roberts wereordered to appraise the estate of Jacob WALL.
I have evidence of my ancestor, Jacob WALL (b. 1742) in Culpepercounty, VA. I am trying to discover who his parents were. Jacobmarried Ann Spilman around 1763. I am thinking that the abovementioned estate may have been my Jacob's grandfather's estate.
I would love to hear from any one with a connection."

*Jacob married *Blanche Blanch Walters before 1726 in Possibly Virginia. *Blanche (daughter of *Isaac Walters) was born about 1674 in Possibly Rappahannock, Virginia; died in Probably Spotsylvania Or Orange County, Virginia; Bounderies Of The Land Probably Changed From Spotsylvania County To Orange County, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

NOTE: Blanche Wall was a witness to the Will of Isaac Walters in St.George's Parish, Spotsylvania County, Virginia in 1726. This toowould indicate that Blanche and Jacob Wall were still living inSpotsylvania from the court records as Jacob being the Road Overseerand in the Land Transaction between the years of 1722-1727. Also, Ibelieve it would certainly prove that they were married previously to1726 as well since Blanche was referred to as Blanche Wall in thelegal proceedings. There is a good possibility, and most likely,since she was a witness that she may have been the daughter of IsaacWalter.
