Asa Wall/Walls & Lucinda Dismukes
Posted by: Gloria Gannon Mason (ID *****4535) Date: October 11, 2008 at 16:14:14

Hi.

I have Lucinda Dismukes, b. 1800-1810 in GA to Edmond/Edmund Dismukes & Bethany "Ina" Hannah Cox, m. Asa Wall/Walls, 1 Feb 1827 in Jones Co., GA.

The 1830 Jones Co., GA Census lists Asa Wall with 1 male under 5, 1 male 20-30, and 1 female 20-30, which fits their description and location.

The 1840 Harris Co., GA Census lists Lucinda Walls as Head of Household with 2 male children and 1 female child under 15. -- It seems Asa Wall/Walls died before the 1840 Census, and I cannot locate Lucinda Dismukes Wall/Walls after the 1840 Census, in GA or in AL.

I've been unable to locate any of these pertinent people on 1850 Census records so far, both in GA and AL; also I've been unable to locate Asa Wall/Walls prior to the 1830 Jones Co., GA Census.

Listed in the 1860 Coffee Co., AL Census, in the household of Edmund Bachelor, however, is a William Walls, age 23, born GA [This would fit his age as son of Asa & Lucinda Walls from earlier Census counts.]. -- Because Edmund Bachelor is the son of Louvina Dismukes [who married Archibald Bachelor/Batchelor], the sister of Lucinda Dismukes who was William Walls's mother, Edmund Bachelor and William Walls would be first cousins. Thus, it could make sense that William Walls, having migrated from GA, would relocate with family in AL.

My great-great-grandparents were William Robert Walls, b. 5 Jun 1836 GA, d. 25 Dec 1905, Coffee Co., AL; who m. Mary Jane "Mollie" Russell, b. 28 Aug 1841, Coffee Co., AL, d. 11 Dec 1912, Coffee Co.,AL. "Mollie" was daughter of Absolom Russell, Jr. and Nancy Hutchison.

William Robert Walls & "Mollie" Russell's children were:
1 Thomas A. Walls, b. 1869 AL, m. Nonnie Sellars
2 Lewis R. Walls, b. 30 Jan 1872 AL, d. 30 Jun 1967 Coffee Co., AL; m. Melissa Magdalene Helms 22 Nov 1894 AL, b. 21 Feb 1874 Coffee Co., AL, d. 26 May 1966 AL -- these were my great-grandparents. I descend further from their daughter Ada Lee Walls b. 7 Oct 1900 Coffee Co., AL, d. 24 Apr 1961 Coffee Co., AL; who married Willie Hugh Gannon b. 8 Feb 1901 Pike Co., AL, d. 27 May 1958 Coffee Co., AL; thus my maiden name "Gannon."
3 Mary E. Walls, b. @1874
4 Joe Walls, b. 1875
5 Bascom Charles Walls, b. 24 February 1878, d. 13 Sep 1963; m. Docie Dean Helms
6 Frank Walls, b. Oct 1880
7 Louisa Walls, b. Aug 1882
8 Villas Walls, b. Oct 1887

So, I'm looking for any information specific to:
(1) Lucinda Dismukes -- her last years, her death, her resting place, her "other 2 children -- 1 male, 1 female"
(2) Asa Wall/Walls -- his parentage, his livelihood, his death, his resting place

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!!
