Found my ggrandparents in Mossy Grove, Lavaca County, Texas. James L. and Sarah O. Walker, J.L. deceased Nov 1879 and Sarah 23 June 1880. Her brother James L. Grizzard became guardian of their 7 children. They came to Texas from Morgan & Limestone Co., Alabama. She born there, father Henry P. Grizzard, J.L. born in Arkansas. Anyone else researching this family?

I know very little about my maternal grandfather. His name was Newton Walker. My mom was born in Houston, Mississippi in 1917 and grew up in Pulaski, Columbia and Nashville, Tennessee. My grandfather died in 1960 - so I would guess he was born in the late 1800's. Any information would be very much appreciated.

I came across this posting that may help clarify the Walker family lore about Toaping Castle: http://members4.boardhost.com/pghistory/msg/1278612322.html

For information about their new home in the colonies built by the Walker brothers and named for the original Toaping Castle, go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toaping_Castle This may give you a start in tracing it in Scotland (thank goodness for handy-dandy Google searching. "Try it; you'll like it").

My grandfather was Hamilton Glen Walker, his parents died when he was still young. He was born in 1871 in Weimar, DeWitt, Texas. Would love to find someone who is researching him, his parents or siblings. Thanks, Lillian

I have no idea where my Walker ancestors lived in Scotland. Is there any website where I can find out where Walkers resided? Supposedly, our ancestors had a castle/home called "Toaping Castle" in Scotland, but have not been able to verify that. Any suggestions? I will be traveling to Scotland next summer (2011) and would like to locate where they were from before I go.
