<< When property was bought on Route 20 near Glenwood Virginia, a log cabin
was
discovered on the site. It is said to be the cabin of William Wall and
determined to be about 150 years old.
To date, we don't know if this cabin belongs to our Wall line but are
working on that information.
This cabin will be moved off this property to Glenwood Park where it will
remain.
The cabin could not be moved in one piece because of it's condition.
Therefore, it will be dismantled, each log numbered and moved one by one to
the new site and put back together.

This intrigues me. I have an ancestor, James Wall, born ca 1822, living in
Decatur Co., IN in 1850 listing Virginia as his place of birth. I'd like to
find his parents.
As to why this intrigues me is because I found a log cabin that had been
restored of about the same vintage in Radcliff, KY built by my ancestors.
