Classification: Query
Surnames: Walls, Levin, Monlove, Crew, Hignett, Savage, Depray, Harvey, Cooper, Bracy, Christopher, Hignet
The Manfred Walls - Elizabeth Levin and Samuel Walls and Mary Monlove are a fiction perptrated by a descendant of Manlove Walls in Indiana.
Interestingly, John Crew, who died about 1660 in Virginia had a son John shortly before he died. His widow, Elizabeth, married 2nd Robert Hignett. John Crew Jr., married first a Savage, then a Depray, then last the widow Annabelle Harvey, before dying c1712-1713 in Sussex County DE.
John had no know sons, but four daughters, of which Elizabeth was oldest. Elizabeth married a William Walls before 1710 as John Crew named John Walls as a grandson in his 1712 will. William died sometime before 1735 when his widow remarried Richard Cooper. That she was earlier married to a William is proven in deed records
Sons of William and Elizabeth, I believe are:
John Walls, married Sarah Bracy. He died before 1739 when widow Sarah married Wrixam Christopher. Jacob Walls is likely his son; Robert Walls (after R. Hignet) is probably his son, but could be the youngest son of William and Elizabeth Crew Walls.
William Walls, m. Elizabeth, d. 1776, sons Joshua and William named in Will.
Thomas Walls, m Jane?, sons Samuel, Levi, and Levin proven.
Somehow, the first William Walls in Sussex County does not appear on any deed records that I know of. Some have speculated that the Willaim Walls, ship owner and Captain, that was taking cargo back and for in the Chesapeake and up and down the coast during the same period, could be our William. The Maryland archives has a lot on the Captain William Walls, but little on his family. Maybe someone else can confirm or refute this specualtion?
