Walter came from Wiltshire, Eng., to America, 1635-1640. He was transported to St. Christopher's at age 16, 1635. He migrated with an association arranged by Lady Deborah Moody, widow of a Wiltshire Baronett, to Lynn, MA. In 1643 they moved to Gravesend, Long Island, Nj, and to Middletown, NJ in 1657. Walter Wall purchased a large tract of land near Middletown, which became known as Wall's Mill, and later Van Meter's Mill.
Walter with a number of others settled on Long Island where they founded the town of Gravesend, and where they remained for 20 or more years. About 1665 he and a number of his townsmen came to East Jersey where they purchased from the proprietors a large body of land, embracing a part of the present counties of Monmouth and Middlesex, NJ. Walter was a man of prominence in this community. It is noted that this colony fairly and honorably purchased lands from Indians, each settler paying his proportion.
Walter was said to have married three times. Annetje _____ his first wife.
In 1666-1667 he came to Middletown, NJ; in 1677, he came to Shrewsbury, NJ.
‌Walter Garnet and Annetje were married in a religious ceremony in 1648 in New Amsterdam,New York. They had a daughter named Rebecca.
