Adam Wall's other brother was John, born about 1725. His name was not on the passenger list, because it was not necessary to list children under the age of 16 and they didn’t list women at all. John Wall died at a fairly young adult age about 1760, and his widow, Margaret, remarried Nicholas Sollas, who was the administrator of her late husband's estate. John and Margaret Wall had two children: 1. Adam, who is designated as Adam II to separate him from his uncle, Adam I, and 2. John. Nicholas Sollas and Margaret Wall had one child: James Sollas, the spelling of which became Sallust. We don't know Margaret's maiden name.
