General Notes: Husband - Garret Wall


He married and they resided on a farm given his wife by her father.
He was possessed of considerable literary taste and a good knowledge of common law. He served in the War of 1812 as quartermaster of Col. Ferree's regiment, P. V. I., and filled the office of justice of the peace for many years, up to the time of his decease. He built a saw-mill on his farm in 1829, run by water-power, which was operated by him during his lifetime, and afterward by his son Brisben until 1852, and then abandoned.
