The above Ahnentafel not only shows the Wall family history, but it shows the relationship to Sugars Turner, another well-known and prominent pioneer of the early Madison County days. Sugars Turner was probably the most prolific land speculator in the history of the area. He bought and sold numerous tracts of land in north Alabama, including several that were later to become part of Redstone Arsenal. According to the Ahnentafel, Sugars Turner was a maternal uncle of Alexander Grey Wall. It is also interesting that the Blunt family was part of the heritage of the Madison County Wall family. As historians will recognize, the Blunt family included a governor of Tennessee and the namesake of a county in north Alabama. Dennis Simpson has published a book of the Simpson - Wall - Lacy and related families, wherein he states that Alexander G. Wall was a son of James Wall, not John Wall, as given above in the Ahnentafel.
