Because the son listed as Wm. H. H. Wall in 1860 and shown as W. H. in 1850, and another message "Harrison Henry Wall, " I checked in Rootsweb and A.com Family trees, and found lots of William Henry Harrison Wall listings.....in 1700's. It is definitely a family name, handed down into different Wall families, and in the Milam family, too.
I also saw where someone thinks the father was murdered about 1870.....and by then H. H. disappears...with the other children scattered.
I started looking at all the Wall listings in 1870 and found seven. : a M. W. Wall age 10 b. Texas and A. (?). Wall age 24? from Tenn in home of E. Wall age 59. from N. C.
(Keep in mind that the H.H. Wall fam. got to Harrison Cty from Ga.)
and....Sopha Wall b. in Miss. age 11 in home of Miley or Wiley, J. F. of Ohio.
The other Wall listings you know about, Eliza, Robert and S. R.
In 1880 I don't get any Wall of the white race in Harrison County.
What happened? Do you know about a murder about that time?
