Son of William Wall buried in William Wall Cemetery, Stanley County, N.C. and Elizabeth "Eliza" "Betsy" Hill Marshall buried Bethlehem Cemetery, Ansonville, N.C. He is the grandson of John Wall (1746-2/28/1841) and Agnes Moorman (?-1780) and grandson of William Marshall (?-8/29/1830) and Sarah "Sallie" Lanier (11/18/1774-5/1/1811).
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Dunlap, G. T. Turner, Gordon Sinclair and Miss Effie Turner attended the funeral of Maj. James M. Wall at his home near Wadesboro on Sunday, January 16. The remains were interred in the cemetery at Wadesboro. Although Major Wall spent many years of his life in Anson county, he was a native of Stanly, having been born and reared on the Wall plantation in the forks of the rivers. He was the youngest son of William and Betsy Marshall Wall. William Wall and his first wife Jane Hyde Wall were doubtless among the first settlers in this section of the county. We find records of deeds to them as early as 1804-5. The old Wall homestead still stands and is known as the old Eli Shankle homeplace. It was indeed a privilege to listen to Major Wall recount experiences of his youth. In his youth, he said that some of the peers of the land dwelled in and near the forks of the rivers. He related many interesting events in the lives of the Watkins, Smith, Lanier, Turner, Colson and the Tomlinson families. Major James M. Wall, served his adopted county in a number of capacities. For many years, he was sheriff, and later County Superintendent of Public Instruction. He was a scholar and a typical Southern gentleman. He was captain of two companies during the Civil War and was a special friend of Major Stedman. Major Stedman once remarked to a kinsman of Mr. Wall's: "If you have a drop of the same blood that flows through Jim Wall's veins you must be all right."
