About Col. Stephen Wall

https://letthejourneysbegin.wordpress.com/2012/05/23/captain-orinda...

Colonel Stephen Wall received an inheritance from his father who was the local Justice of the Peace and sheriff. He was also successful in his own right. By the age of thirty Stephen won a officer’s commission in the state cavalry hence his title. By thirty-five he had served two terms in the state senate (see “Western Carolinian” Salisbury, North Carolina, Oct. 14, 1823 and April 20, 1824). In 1827 Colonel Wall was a candidate for the clerkship of the Superior Court of Richmond County (Letter from John D. Eccles to Thomas Ruffin, vol. I [Raleigh: Edwards & Broughton Printing, Co., State Printer, 1918], p. 413).

The mulatto children of Stephen Wall placed in the care of Dr. Jesse and Elizabeth Harvey and others in Harveysburg were:

   Orindatus Simon Bolivar Wall ~ son of the slave Pricilla Ely, b. 1825 ~ d. 1891
   Caroline Malinda (“Carrie”) Wall ~ daughter of the slave Pricilla Ely, b. 1833 ~ d. 1915

   Sarah Kelly Wall ~ daughter of the slave Jane Ely, b. 1833 – d. 1886 (Jane and Pricilla were sisters)
   Napoleon B. Wall ~ son of the slave Jane Ely, b. 1819 – d. 1895

   Peter Wall ~ son of the slave Rhody (Rhoday), b. 1845, was born just before his father Stephen died. There is no evidence that Peter came to Harveysburg.
