Bob,
That sister, a 'spinster Walker' would agree with one of their daughter's death records from familysearch. Except the transcript here shows it as "Walkes", but, I had wondered if it was meant to be Walker... just hadn't worked on it to figure it out. Then I find this thread,and this question by you Bob. Guess that's our answer... she was a Walker ^_^

Was just last week working on the Wiliam's and Agerton's and got into these Balcom's... then tonight looked and found this thread... good timing.
My question though... was she Burcena or Brucena. Which spelling is right?
Thanks,
Val
