OLD FOLKS INTERVIEWED NO. XXVIII
Susan Wall,
"I was born in Delaware. The exact year I do not know, but suppose I will be 86 years of age on the 16th of July next. My father's name was Levin Harnarson, he died when I was three years old. My mother's name was Mary Woodard. They had only two children, myself and Sabra. She married Elias Walls, brother to my husband. About 4 years after my father's death, my mother married Levi Wall and they moved to West Virginia, near Morgantown in Monongalia County There we lived till I was about 18 years of age when they came to Pike County, Ohio, and settled in the wilderness of Leeth Creek, in Pebble Township, and I have lived on Leeth Creek ever since. My mother had six children by Levi Wall, and when we came to Ohio besides Sabra and myself there were Samuel, Elizabeth, Sarah and Thomas and they had born to them in Pike County, Fanny and Lemuel. When my mother married Levi Wall, he was a widower with six children. But none of them came to Ohio with us, except my husband.
When we arrived on Leeth Creek there were but two inhabited cabins on it, and they belonged to Elias Wall, brother to my husband who came here several years before our family did, and the other was occupied by Elizabeth Lane on the place known as the Levi Russel farm, which adjoins the farm owned by my husband, and which I have lived nearly all the time since I came from Virginia.
I married Levi Wall, in Virginia and had been married upwards of a year when we moved to Ohio. My husband bought land on Leeth Creek which now adjoins the infirmary farm near Idaho. He went to work and erected a cabin. Besides the two cabins spoken of above, there was one old uninhabited one in Idaho, near where the old saw mill was. My stepfather chinked and repaired that old cabin and moved into it where he lived several years, when he bought and moved farther up on Leeth Creek, where he built and lived some years, when he moved to Bear creek in Scioto County, where he died 46 or 47 years ago.
I have had eleven children viz. Bashiba, Levin, Elias, Levi, Joshua, Samuel, Mary, Matilda, Elizabeth, Nancy and James. I raised all of them all to manhood and womanhood, and all married except Levin, Elizabeth and Samuel. They are dead and so is Mary. Bashiba married James Leeth, by whom she had ten children; Elias married Malinda Wall and had eight children, when she died, and he married Margaret Shattuck by whom he had six children. Levi married Mary Ann Wallace who have had nine children. Joshua married Amy Wall and had seven children, when she died, and Joshua married for his second wife Margaret Haines, by whom he had three children. Mary married James Leeth and had by him 10 children. Matilda married Cornelius Leeth by whom she had had seven children. Nancy married John Leeth by whom she had had eleven children. James the youngest married Mary Shattuck by whom they have had ten children, of whom nine are living.
I have had eleven children, eighty-one grandchildren, ninty six great grandchildren, and five great great grandchildren, a total of one hundred and ninety-three, much the greater part of whom are living.
My husband answered to the famous general call in 1814 left home, but when examined by the surgeon was pronounced unable to bear the fatigues of soldier life, so he returned home. He lived to be 85 years of age and died 10 years ago last June. His remains were deposited in Leeth Creek burying ground only a short distance from where he lived since we came together to Ohio, and where a number of his children, grand children, and other kinfolks lie buried. I am living with James, my youngest son.
My experience in life has been that of people generally in agricultural districts, who have lived from young womanhood in one locality. But while I have lived on in the even tenor of life, great changes have been wrought in the world's history, which I leave others to chronicle, the knowledge of which is to be perpetuated by future generations through the instrumentality of the art of printing."
