Bull Skin Creek

Nov 15, 2011
After many years of research I just learned that William Wall(s) probably grew up in Allegany Co., MD near Cumberland. We have strong reason to believed he is related to John Walls who I might be his father, uncle, or other relative. See more information at the bottom of this page.

If you have any info on this family please contact me.

William Wall b. about 1770 was said to be "of southern birth" however it appears he might have grown up in the vacinity of Allegany Co., MD or Frederick Co., VA. (Photos of family sites in Kentucky)
+wife: Nancy Vinzant
Notes about William Wall: He lived in Scott Co., KY prior to moving to Shelby Co.
He lived on Bardstown Road where it crossed Bull Skin Creek and he owned a tavern. He fought in the War of 1812 with the Kentucky Mounted Volunteer Infantry. I believe in Dudley's Mounted Battalion under the command of Captain Isaac Watkins --William was a private.


This is the land that was owned by William Wall in early 1800s.

This land once was owned by Preston's father-in-law, John Barton Brown.
