My Walker line started in Maine in early 1800's, migrated through Massachusetts and entered West Virginia in about 1840. The individual that I am interestes is
my g-grandfather, Eugene Kendall Walker b. 1861; m. Ella Guthrie, b. abt 1864, OH; had 4 children: Jerome Eugene, Gus, Benjamin Harrison, Greta.
Divorced and possibly remarried to Maggie Ryan about 1904. If you have
any information about Eugene, please email me. Thanks, Richard Kirkpatrick.

John Walker born in 1771 married Rachel Shaw who was born 11 Jun 1781 in Norland Elland Yorkshire, England. She died 18 Apr 1857. They were married 24 Jan 1802 in Halifax, Yorkshire, England. Does anyone have more info on John Walker?

My Walkers go back from my grandmother, Clara Helen Walker 1907-1990 who married William E Stepp 1895-1971 (both born in Greenbrier, Bollinger Co., Missouri. Both buried in Toledo, Lewis Co. WA.
Her father George Alfred Walker 1877-1934 (born in Pulaski Co., MO) who married Minta Wilde 1884-1970 (born in Greenbrier). George is buried in Sturdivant, Bollinger Co., MO; Minta Brinkman (she had remarried), in Toledo, Lewis Co., WA.
George's father: John William Walker 1854-1924 (born in Greene Co., Indiana) & married to Nancy Embry .
John's father: Hardin Walker 1828--1884 (born in Greene Co., IN) married Mariah Bockover 1832-1906, born in Ohio). Hardin died in Stoderville, Cape Girardeau Co., Missouri; Maria died in Bollinger Co., MO.

I know that several of Clara's brother & sisters lived in the Alton, Madison Co., Illinois area.

Any info would be welcome!

The info on John and Rachel Walker came from notes in the family Bible so I am not sure where John and Rachel were born or her maiden name. They seem to have known and therefore are likely related to Thomas Andrew Walker (1828-1889), chief contractor of the Severn Tunnel project. His father(Robert Walker) was born about 1789 in Scotland.

I am researching John Walker born in 1771 . Was in wool trade and manufacturer. He died April 15,1829.He married Rachel. I believe his son John Walker born 10 Nov 1802 had a drapery business in Halifax, England.

Looking for the Anthony Walker family of Baltimore, Maryland. Anthony was born in Nov. 6 1869 to Francis Walker and Mary McLaughlin in St Nicholas, Aberdeen Scotland and immigrated to the USA in 1889 He married in Maryland abt 1895 and his bride was named Mary In the 1900 census Anthony and Mary are listed as living at 227 N. Ann St. in Baltimore and having 3 children Lottie, Frank and Anthony Jr. Do these names or the addresse ring a bell with anyone on Walker surname?

My gg grandmother was Christette Walker born in 1853 in Pope County Ill. She married Eleazor Nelson in 1875 in Pope County. Christette was orphaned as a child and lived with other families in Pope County, on her death certificate it listed her father as John Walker and mother unknown. Needing help with her line. Thank you.

___My WALKER immigrant was Joseph A. 'Joe' WALKER, born 29 Jan 1829, way up in Banff, Banffshire (now Aberdeenshire), Scotland, in Walker's Close; he died 27 Jun 1908 near Alexandria, Thayer Co., Nebraska. ___His son Corbett married Evelyn 'Eva' McCURDY, whose family had emigrated first from Scotland to co. Antrim, Ulster, in Nov 1666, and from Antrim to the States circa 1805.

hey folks, My Dna testing (64 out of 67 markers) links me toI am new to the John Walker line.
He was born in County Antrim, Ireland in 1767 arriving in Charleston, S.C. from Belfast, Ireland on the "Earl of Donegal" in 1767.

My Greatfather was Lafayette Walker (perhaps Marcus Lafayette Walker) b.1874 in Wayne County, Illinois. He married Grace Burtcham. I've researched for two years and cannot make the pedigree connection between these two men. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks in advance.
