Who ARE those guys?
So I’m working on a new improved map of the Swift Creek area of Edgecombe county. I’m working along some grants on the White Oak Creek area and two strange mentions show up on a patent for Joseph Wall and one James Wall… I haven’t reached a “ready for prime-time moment” yet to publish the map.
The Wall patents are towards the top… note the rather unususal mention (noted in the actual grants which I diligently reproduce damn near verbatim) “the plantation Thomas Hicks now lives”. Note also that Mr. Thomas Hicks also has a patent an arrow shot away to the south… whereupon Mr. Hick sold some property in 1746 to one John Pitman.
I speculate about such on an earlier post here:

The lovely and gracious Traci the Librarian even ventured into the quagmire of speculation and offered some comments… we were however, left stumped and dumbfounded once again and we ventured on to other things.
C’mon man! as that clown in Washington is now so fond of saying… This is some really heady stuff here when you can actually speculate that the quiet and well-mannered folk of 1740s Edgecombe county had a freaking NOTORIOUS Indian Trader in their midst.
Communal head-scratching and general lamentations of disgust for the trade are not only allowed but encouraged in the comments.
Andersons of Colonial N. Carolina 
Course’… I did not mean to suggest this would be simple…

Don’t know much about James or Joseph WALL, but I decend from John WALL ( 1710-1778) from Edgecombe through his daughter Elizabeth who is believed to have married Archelaus WEEKS around 1790. Their daughter Tamsey Ann Elizabeth Weeks married David Faithful and had a daughter Harriett who married Micajah Anderson.

Thank you for sharing this.
Arthur Phillips was the son of John Philips (d.abt Jan 1759 Surry CO, VA probate filed) +Martha Crafford; all are ancestors of my husband (an Anderson who is a descendant of John Anderson d.1758 Pr. William CO, VA)
Whereas,
I am a descendant of William Anderson (d.abt May 1790 Edgecombe CO, NC probate filed) by his daughter Martha Anderson who +John Stallings, and why I follow ‘The Andersons of Colonial N Carolina’
In the attempt to ‘sort out’ the various Phillips families (so many confuse them), I began a project that included researching many of the early deed records registered in the Surry CO VA (area). This particular project enabled us to document and correct the earlier published genealogies.
&
Whilst researching my husband’s Phillips line I learned that each of our ancestors (& their extended families) were neighbors and obviously knew each other as they are mentioned in several records together.
Thank you for sharing your research!
