This Bible is now owned by Charles E. Wall,
Cheyenne, Wyoming, great grandson of Nathaniel Wall and Sarah (Craddock)
Wall. The Bible, dated 1848, is the
Polyglot published by Joseph Steen & Co.
and G.H. Salisbury of Brattleboro, Vt.
Nathaniel Wall and Sarah Craddock were married March 29, 1835, by the
Vicar, Church of England at Cam, Gloucestershire. They were then both residents of Cam.
Sarah (Craddock) Wall married (2) Silas H.
Kent. She died 2 June 1872. Nathaniel and Sarah came to America in 1836
and lived in Beaver Co., Penna; Lisbon and Steubenville Ohio; near Ottumwa,
Iowa; and Sarah died and is buried near Eliott, Iowa. Her tombstone reads “Sarah Kent.” Nathaniel Wall and Silas H. Kent are buried near his farm in
Wapello Co., Iowa. Their graves
are not yet located. Notes added by Dorothy DeWitt Wilkinson,
granddaughter of Sarah Ann Wall.
HALL-CRADDOCK NOTES (continued).
The above lines were typed several months
ago. Information received since then is
that the WPA record of Wapello Co. Cemeteries shows Silas Kent d. 1847, aged 55,
McElroy Cemetery, Center Twp.; Nathaniel Wall d. 1850 aged 78 years,
McElroy Cemetery, Ottumwa, Iowa. Since
Nathaniel was born 1 August 1811, his age was 38 years +. He died intestate. Probate action was initiated 8 August 1850. Silas Kent died in 1855. His age of “about 90” is doubted because he
was a freighter driving between Oskaloosa, Iowa (where he was exposed to
cholera on his last trip) and Ottumwa, Iowa.
He managed to reach home, which was enroute, and died a day or two
later.
The 1847 Iowa State Census shows Nathaniel as age
30-40; the 1850 census shows him as age 39 on enumeration of 21 Oct. 1850
although his estate was already being probated; the 1856 census shows Sarah
(Craddock) (Wall) Kent widowed. These
census records support Nathaniel’s age as 38 and Silas Kent’s death in
1855. And for the beginner – this is
an example of resolving discrepancies.
The 1847 Iowa State Census also contains the name
of J.M. Craddick age 20-30; 1 female under 10, and 1 female 20-30. Nothing is known about this Craddick family
or if related to Sarah (Craddock) Wall Kent.
Her brothers, Edward C. and Samuel, and sister Anne were emigrants in
1839 from Gloucestershire to Sydney, N.C.W., Australia.
Information in the two paragraphs above is taken
from a report compiled by a very fine Iowa professional genealogist. . .
