Capt. William Conover died, Oct. 27, 1829, aged 76 years, 3 months and 25 days. He was a Captain, in the Revolution, and grandson of Jacob Conover, who came from Long Island, in 1699. Mary Wall, his wife, died, Nov. 21, 1834, aged 67 years. Dutch Reformed Church-yard, Middletown, N. y.
Walter and James Wall, reputed sons of Humphrey Wall, came from New Jersey, and settled on a neck of land, called "The Forks," lying between the Monongahela and the Youghiogheny Rivers, about sixteen miles South of Pittsburgh, in Alleghany County, Pa. For years this locality was known as The Jersey Settlement, by reason of its num- erous settlers from New Jersey, especially from Monmouth County. In 1769, after having cleared land and built houses, they brought their families. The records of these Walls were destroyed, by accident, many years ago, and I am strongly inclined to believe that instead of Walter and James Wall being the sons of Humphrey Wall, they were the children of James Wall, as appears from the following will:
1750-51, Mch. 13; will proved Apr. 4, 1760, to which he made his mark. James Wall, sick, of Middlesex County, mentioned:
wife; four daughters: Martha, Rebecca, Abigail and Neomia, each, fio; two sons, Walter and James, the residue of his estate. All of the children were minors.
Executors: Friends, John and Joseph Story.
Walter Wall married Alice, a sister to Benjamin Applegate.

Affairs, Harrisburg, Pa., informed me that he was the son of Capt. Brisben Wall, who was the son of Garret Wall, who was the son of James Wall and that the last named James Wall emigrated from New Jersey in 1766, to Pennsylvania with his brother Walter Wall. It is possible that James Wall was No. 31 in this Wall History.
WALLING
OF
MONMOUTH COUNTY, NEW JERSEY
Upon the authority of Austin's Rhode Island Dictionary there was residing, as early as Jan. 22, 1651, in Providence, R. I., a Thomas Walling, at which date Roger Williams, of Narragansett, writing to the town of Providence, probably alluding to him said "I understand that one of the orphans of our dear friend Daniel Abbot is likely (as she herself told me) to be disposed of in marriage. 'Tis true she has now come to some years, but who knows not what need the poor maid hath of your fatherly care, counsel and direction. I would not disparage the young man (for I hear he hath been labori- ous)," etc. He desired the town, however, to have some assurance that the young man will "forsake his former courses."
