They were Charles, born in September 1842 and
died a month later; William, born in 1845 and
died before his forth birthday; Margaret, born

their parents. The other offspring of Charles
and Sophia in the order of their births were sons

JONAS WALL was born in Chippewa Township, Wayne County, Ohio on February
1, 1831. He married MARY ANN GEIGER who
was born in Pennsylvania on November 1, 1830 and
brought to Ohio by her parents in 1835.
Jonas and Mary Ann had three children we know
of: Albert, who died when he was about two years
of age; William H. Wall and Lusetta Wall Rasor,
who are mentioned in the estate of their grandfather,
Charles. Jonas apparently moved to Summit
County early in his adult life probably to Copley
Township. It is possible that the Henry (William Henry?)
Wall mentioned in the account of the tornado was
also a son of Jonas and Mary Ann. But, if
so, it is strange that he is not one of the heirs
mentioned in Charles Wall's estate. Jonas
died on March 8, 1887 and Mary Ann on November
5, 1903. Jonas, Mary Ann and Albert are
all buried in the Mt. Swingle Church of Christ
cemetery in Sharon Township on Medina Line Road.
