Land: Four of William Walters' children were adopted out to Thomas and Robert Walters (Waters). Halifax County, Virginia, Orphans/Bound Children 1760-62 (part 1), March Court 1760: "Ordered that the Churchwardens of Antrim Parish do bind Elisabeth and Walter, children of William Waters, to Thomas Waters & William and Ruth, two other children of said William, to Robert Waters."
This does not say that William Walters was deceased. Possibly wife Elizabeth had died [her last record was in 1737 in Brunswick Co] and William was not able either because of age or disability to care for the children, who could have been any age up to 21.

Land: William Walters' wife was named Elizabeth as evidenced by some of the early records. Her maiden name is unknown.

Land: His proved children are Thomas, the son who provided his care as evidenced by the Antrim Parish Records. And the four children place in the care of Thomas & Robert Walters 'Elizabeth, Walter, William, and Ruth. There were probably two other sons, the Robert named as put in charge of William and Ruth, as well as the John Walters who appears to have lived on part of the 800 acres patented by William Walters in the extreme northeast corner of Halifax County.

And just a survey away is:

Another land owner in this area mentioned with various surveys of John/Thomas is John Coles:
Maj. John Coles, decd Order of Council bordered the 250 acres tract of John Walters, the land of Mary Coles, his widow, was also next to John Walters. Maj. Coles also had 300 acres joining his Order of Council surv 16 Apr 1748

Possible Conclusions:

William Walters owned 224 acres on the Meherrin River in what was then Brunswick. He likely bought this land between 1728 after which year the deeds of Brunswick being kept in Prince George were lost and before 1732 when Brunswick begin to keep its own records. Walters sold this tract to Drury Stith in May of 1737.

He then took out patents, 1742 & 1745 on land South of the Staunton R, probably NE corner of what is today Halifax Co. Patenting was a lengthy process and he may have lived in this location for several years - he could in fact have been there since he sold out in Brunswick Co. He was forced to mortgage these tracts in early 1746. It is possible that he was never able to perfect these grants and may not have done the necessary cultivation and the land reverted to the King. The land may have been sold by the gentlemen holding the mortgage. It may have been sold by William Walters himself and we have never found the deeds of sale. This appears to be land near that of John Cobbs on Priss/Price Creek.
Both John Walters and Thomas Walters will enter and survey land in this same area. [Theirs could not be the exact land as that of William Walters unless it had reverted back and was no longer shown as belonging to anyone, since John & Thomas made entries.] Johns deeds of sale after he had gone to Kentucky appear to be some of this same land of his. I think Thomas likely did not ever live here - he may not have kept the land or used it for rental. John also entered land in the Birches Crk area near Robert but I don't think he ever lived there - perhaps further research in the deeds will eventually tell us more. Maybe the brothers looked after each other's investments.

Although not found in the Entry Book, William had 400 acres surveyed on Double Creek in May of 1752. This survey was near his son Thomas, as well as William Russell who had sued William Walters back in 1746. This survey was transferred to Joseph Terry in 1764, after the death of William - apparently William had never applied for the patent, but in all probability he lived on the land in the meantime. [Remember this: a settler did not owe tax on this land until it was patented - good reason for foot-dragging.] This explains why he was near enough to Thomas for the Parish to pay Thomas for keeping William in his last illness and burying him. Robert Walters appears on another page of the Surveys, living next to his father-in-law William McBee. His survey for 285 acres was on 18 Apr 1747. He was some East of the land of Thomas & William but not all that far. Given that John was in the extreme NE corner of the county some distance away, may explain why Thomas & Robert were given the care of the children of William Walters. They were simply near.

Regarding his association with John Wall
http://www.ncgenweb.us/richmond/wallloupoole.pdf
?In February 1745, all the county?s western territory was made into Lunenburg County... John Wall and Nicholas Edmunds were commissioned by the Brunswick Court to oversee and recruit help for the laying of Brunswick?s new western boundary. Drury Stith made the actual survey...?
?...By 1732, the population had so increased that the Council decided to allow Brunswick to set up its own magisterial system and stand on its own. ...?Whereas in pursuance of the Act of Assembly for erecting the County of Brunswick a Court House for the said county is now built & by the increase of
Inhabitants the said County judged is a Capacity to have Magistrates of its own. It is ordered that a Commission of the Peace be prepared for the sd. County, & that Henry Fox, Henry Embry, John Wall....William Machiln, Gent., be appointed Justices for the said County...
?Most of Brunswick?s troops were in the militia, and had been serving as early as 1741. Prior to this date, Prince George County, from which Brunswick was formed, had been responsible for the protection of the county?s frontier. According to existing records it appears that on 2 July 1741, Colonel Henry Embry was the first militia officer commissioned in the county. Also commissioned in July and August, 1741, were:
John Wall, Lieutenant Colonel; and Drury Stith, Major, in a Company of Horse...?
?In the early days of Brunswick County, when the Indians still lingered around the fort and the population was sparse, the church had little communication with its frontier members. ...the nearest minister was the Reverend John Cargill, of Southwark Parish. In 1724 he wrote the Bishop of London from his home on the James River, ?My Parish is twenty miles in width and one hundred in length, being a frontier Parish. It has 394 families. The school for Indians is on the borders of my parish. There are one church and two chapels and seventy or eighty communicants.?
?The Parish of St. Andrew had legally begun before Cargill wrote his letter. When Brunswick was founded in 1720, the order setting up the new county also designated the area as St. Andrew?s Parish and provided money to build a church. The church was not built immediately, but was in existence before 1732.
?The St. Andrew?s Parish, Vestry Book, kept in the County Clerk?s Office, begins with an entry in July, 1732. A vestry is the elected administrative body of an Episcopal church. The first recorded vestry consisted of Henry Embry, and John Wall as Churchwardens... They were all paid 1000 pounds of tobacco for their services.?
