From Warrens & Related Families of North Carolina & Virginia by Holland D. Warren, PhD, 1990

page 345 On 23 August 1643 John Wall’s estate was further identified by a thrid entry int he patent record book. His 1,791 acres adjoined Wards Creek and, in turn, was adjoined by the lands of ancient planter JOHN CLAY and John Freme….

[Note by Dianne: ELIZABETH the widow of JOHN CLAY married 2. John Wall.]

page 348-9 John Wall…His will was probated at the February 1665 court session at Westover; John’s wife ELIZABETH was executrix…Joseph Wall was John’s and ELIZABETH’s son. Joseph inherited a portion of his father’s estate, but the executrix, his mother was slow in dividing the inheritance. The son petitioned the October 1665 court for a division in compliance with John’s will. The court ordered three or four persons of martins Brandon, selected by Joseph and his mother, to settle the estate…In 1665 Widow ELIZABETH Wall took sick at her deceased husband’s home near Wards Creek. Doctor John Cogan came by the house to get a passage over the creek and found ELIZABETH ailing. Cogan pleaded with her to take some medicine from him, and if she recovered she could pay him whatever she felt was right, but if she didn’t wish to pay, he would not demand anything. Mrs. Wall apparently accepted the offer, ordered several other medicines from the Doctor, regained her health before the additional medicines were delivered, and then refused to pay Cogan, although he had already acquired the medicines. Cogan sued her at court. In December 1665, less than a year after John Wall’s death, a recovered ELIZABETh married John Tate. Tate’s medicine worked better than doctor Cogan’s.
