SKETCHES OF WALTER WALL AND SOME OF HIS DESCENDANTS by: J. Sutton Wall of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, March 31, 1905
"The Wall family remained together in New Jersey until 1766, when Walter (b 1747) and James Wall (b 1745), together with Benjamin, William, and Thomas Applegate, and others, emigrated to western Pennsylvania and settled on lands in the so called "Jersey Settlement", now Allegheny County, PA, which they subsequently purchased from the State and where they raised their families and died, leaving behind them an honorable pioneer record and numerous descendants".
