Joseph Walling was born July 6, 1807 in Monmouth Co., NJ and was the youngest of nine children. When he was five, the family moved to Lyons, Wayne Co., NY, a country very new and sparsely settled. When he was 25, he married Miss Eliza BURCH, sister of the late Lewis BURCH and Mrs. Charles ALFORD. Mrs. Walling died in October of 1890. They had 9 children, but only three survive - Elihu, Millard and Mrs. George BATEMAN. Mr. Walling converted in 1840 and with his wife, joined the Baptist Church. They moved to Michigan in 1853, settling in the village which has since been his home. There was no Baptist Church in Lamont so he joined the Congregational Church of which he has been a longtime member.
