Notes

Walter Wall's son Garrett is also named in the records of Monmouth County as a man of prominence in public affairs in that county. On May 22, 1676 his name appears as a witness to a deed from Indian Chiefs to Richard Hartshorn for land at the Highlands of Nevisink, near Sandy Hook. He served as Town Treasurer of Middletown in 1697 and 1698, and in 1700 was one of the leading citizens who resisted the unjust demands of the English Proprietaries. On December 17, 1705, he and Obadiah Bowne deeded four and one half acres of land to the Middletown Baptist Church of which he and his were members. This is said to have been the first church of that denomination established south of Rhode Island. He married Pauline Masters, a daughter of Clement and Pauline Masters, of Shrewsbury, by whom he had children: John, Humphrey, Walter Garrett, Mary, Anne, Deborah and Lydia. He died in 1711, and his wife died April 12, 1732. They are buried in the old Wall Graveyard, located on his farm, about two miles west of Middletown on the crest of a high hill overlooking the Shrewsbury River and the lower Bay of New York, even to the coast of Long Island where was born. The old graveyard is well preserved and contains the remains of several generations of the Wall family.
