Notes
- The Wall family name also is recorded sometimes as Walls. The family sources, complied by Harold Christian, reported the name of Mattie Wall Terry's father was probably Will Wall.
In May 2007, my mother, Lou Gregory Jenkins, discovered some old notes she had made from information given to her by my father's mother, Julia Virginia Terry Jenkins, giving more complete information. Grandmother Jennie gave mom the names of her mother's parents with death dates.
The name of Mattie Wiley Wall's father, as given to us by her daughter Julia Virgina in a list of Terry family members, is Wiley Wall. It is possible Wiley was one of his names and Will or William another. Julia Virginia (Jennie), my grandmother, did not know Wiley's birth date, only the death date.
There is a listing in the 1860 census for Anson County, North Carolina, that could be our Wiley Wall.

For some reason I have never been able to find the primary 1960 census records for Anson County, North Carolina to which this page correlates, nor the 1870 or 1880 censuses.
Some genealogies have combined two families in their endeavor to fill in missing information. The include an 1880 census for a William Wiley Wall in Johnston County, North Carolina, with his wife Mary with their children. Then they also attach Martha Wiley Wall as a child in this family, thought no documentation has been found to support that.
The Johnston County family lacks the younger sons Stephen and Will E Wall, for whom we have family documentation. And the mother's name is Mary, not Martha, Wiley Wall's wife. It appears that our Wiley Wall lived in Anson County, North Carolina. Documentation from family sources is spotty.
The 1880 census reports for his daughter Mattie (Martha) tells us both Wiley and his wife were born in North Carolina.

Next door to them is a family named Wall. This would be kinfolks of Mattie Wall Terry, but I cannot figure out exactly how they are kin. We think Mattie's father was born about 1840, while she was born in 1861. So this cannot be her brother. Perhaps it is an uncle, a younger brother of her father. Having initials only in these entries makes it harder to discover their identities. What were the census people thinking!?

Julia Virgina Terry reported that her grandfather Wiley Wall died in January 1899. Unfortunatley she did not report the place of death.
