Walters, Arch'd Walters. Wit: A. G. Walters, A. W. Harrison I believe Azariah is in the 1840 census as "Azariah G. Wartins" in Caswell Co. Indexed as Wartin. He had
1 male child under 5 [Robert Alexander, born ca 1838], one male 5-10 [according to the 1900 census, William Felix born Apr 1834], there was a male age 30-40 which works for Azariah.
2 females under age 5 [probably Mary Catherine and Elizabeth. 1f age 20-30, or born between 1810 and 1820.
Azariah Graves Walters was a captain during the Civil War. He married (1st) Ann Eliza Payne Richardson. Some sources say she was Mary Dillard "Polly" Harrison, but that lady was a generation older and the mother of Ann Eliza. He married (2nd) Martha Coleman in 1845 and (3rd) Martha Carter, daughter of Samuel Jefferson Carter of Halifax. The marriage to the second wife must have been very brief as the wife who had appears in the censuses from 1850 forward with consistent ages and two daughters, was a Martha.
[Ancestral File gives full name of first wife as Elizabeth Payne Richardson, married 13 May 1830. Her parents as Edmund Richardson and Mary Harrison. Does not show other wives, nor last two children.] Azariah's spouse is "Martha" in the 1850 Census.

VA When Azariah Graves Walters died in Pittsylvania County Virginia in 1899, he left his mill in Caswell County on 80 acres of land to his wife Martha for life. Upon her death it was to go to Archie (Archibald) E. Walters (or if he died to grandson Azariah G. Walters, Jr, son of Archie). The tract in Pittsylvania County adjoining the Caswell Co tract was 1,050 1/2 acres and contained the old "Broadnax House". I believe that this house may have been the 18th century house of Thomas Fearn, who died in 1805. Walters' Mill Road is just inside North Carolina along the state line. The Walters Mill was on Hogan's Creek, very close to the Virginia state line. [Posted on GenForum] Eliza Ann Payne RICHARDSON (private).
