General Notes: Husband - Walter Wall


In 1640 Lady Deborah Moody, the widow of a Wiltshire baronet, organized an association of some fifty persons who came to America, and among them was Walter Wall. This association first established at Lynn, Massachusetts, remaining there until 1643, when they removed to Gravesend, on Long Island. In the latter part of 1657 Walter Wall and others emigrated to New Jersey with their families, where they made a purchase embracing the present county of Middlesex and part of the county of Monmouth.
Walter Wall purchased a large tract of land in the neighborhood of Middletown, New Jersey, on a portion of which, known as Wall's Mill, and afterward as Van Meeter's Mill, was born Gen. Garret D. Wall, who served for several years as a member of the United States senate. In the several divisions of town lots and outlands of Middletown, Walter Wall found himself the possessor of much valuable land. Here his son Garret became a man of some prominence in public affairs, his name being mentioned in Middletown town-book as receiver of taxes, and his son Jarat, or Jarrett, was among the leading citizens who resisted the unjust demands of the proprietary in 1700-01.
