Walker Name Study

I am looking for any information about my husband's Walker family in PA and Indiana in the 1800's. I know that James Gillen Walker was born about 1832 in Lancaster, PA. He died in the Civil War in 1863. His father may have been James Walker, born about 1808 in PA and possibly died in Blackford County, Indiana. Thanks for any info.

Thanks. Mike Lass

I've hit a brick wall trying to find more information on John Walker, born around 1790 in England, and his wife Ann. They were in a census in 1841 with family members. I have good information on the birth of his son William Walker, 1833 in Littleport England, and can follow the family tree to the US, but would like to find more info on John and his ancestry.

My 6x g-grandparents were William Walker (b. 1716 and d. 1772 Halifax, NC) and Patience Cain Walker (b. 1710 and d. abt. 1772 NC). My 5x g-grandmother was their daughter, Sisley Walker (b. 1755 NC and d. 1829 TN), who married William Pace, Sr.

Hi again! I'm involved with "Walkers of Colonial Virginia", which at one point was listed as a subproject of the Walker Name Study (although I didn't see that is was this Walker Name Study page in the changes). If appropriate, could you add a link to https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Walkers_of_Colonial_Virginia

Thanks!

just saw a space page with loads of useful info about Thomas Walker of Virginia. See

Space:Walker-15949_Research & Thomas Walker (abt.1688-abt.1727)

Hello Everyone.

I've hit a brick wall in searches for my ancestry and could use any help. The latest Walker I can find is my g. g. g. grandmother (VanHorn-604) who married a mysterious Walker. My g. grandmother's autobiography says his name is Harry and was a druggist. The marriage license for the mysterious Walker has the name of Edwin F. The death certificate of my g.g.g. grandmother lists the husband as Edward F., and all U.S. Census records show my g.g.g. grandmother's husband as deceased or she listed as widowed/divorced. The Walkers on this search are mostly located in Ohio and some of PA. I'm happy to contribute to this project to help this search along with others. Thanks!

Researching Thomas Walker of Virginia whose wife died of TB in Richmond

Hi all, great to be on here. I'm not sure how to get back to the proper forum to ask this, but I am looking for anyone who may have information about a "brick wall" relative on my maternal grandfather's family. Her name was Harriet Orlean Walker and she was my great grandmother born about 1903 in Tennessee, we think Stewart County. She married my great-grandfather, Prince Albert Sills in 1926 and the couple then moved to Akron, Ohio to work for the rubber factories. The story I always heard as a child from my grandparents was that Harriet's mother passed away when she was somewhere between 3-6 years old and her father, who supposedly worked for the railroad, divided his children amongst the relatives. Harriet was shuffled between a few households until finally coming into the care of a woman named Athel (could have also been Aethel or Ethel, last name unknown). What relation to Harriet this woman was is unknown. At some point as well, Harriet's records may have been lost, as the county courthouse wherever she was from supposedly burned down and everything was destroyed. Her obituary from the Akron Beacon Journal printed on May 18, 1984 lists her death as May 12, 1984 and lists an unnamed sister as one of her surviving relatives. Thanks all and I look forward to any info that anyone may have on her family.

Philip Walker-9976 is the earliest Walker ancestor we have proven. I would enjoy working with family and friends on this line. They appear in North and South Carolina in the 1700s then migrated to Davidson County, Tennessee, Kentucky, and on to Missouri.

Family lore states that earlier they were in the Maryland area. othing has been PROVEN concerning this fact and many lines from Maryland have been disproven. There is a small dedicated group researching this family. More would be welcome. Thank-you, Judith (Weeks) Ancell [email address removed]

I would like to join this effort. My Walker lineage hails from Monroe County, VA (later WV) and I have only been able to trace back to my great, great grandfather Andrew Walker (~1818-1890).

I have profiles on 23andMe, Ancestry, Family Tree DNA and My Heritage. I have tested for the Big Y-700 and that resulted in a y-haplogroup of FT41075, a subclade of CTS4466 (often referred to as Southern Irish Type II).

I am looking forward to helping where I can and finding out more about my specific Walker lineage since it is such a common name

I live in Yorkshire England my Walker family have lived in this area for over 500 years I was once in contact with a Muffley who had a relative a Jagger who has Walker DNA

I am the 5th Great Granddaughter of Eli Walker the son of Alanson Walker NY. I can not find my 5th great grandmothers last name. Elizabeth Betsy ( married name Walker) Born around 1798 in NY? Buried in Wisconsin. Can anyone help me. My 4th great Grandma is Calista Walker who married William Baker. Thank you!

We are researching our Walker surname, and we have a family mystery. My great-great grandfather supposedly left his small family with a new baby in New York and went west to the Gold Rush. The story is that he was eaten by a shark around the Horn. His widow then remarried and moved to Wisconsin. We have been unable to find out any information about him and his family at all. Have not found any verification that the story is true. My late dad did a DNA test and we submitted it to a Walker Project and was unable to match any other Walker families in the Northeast.

We are Walker's and would like to be included. Mrs Walker
