Hi-
Can anyone help with my Walker 'problem'...Alexander Walker was born in VA 1812 (place unknown), father allegedly James Walker who allegedly was in the War of 1812. Alexander shows up in Miami Co. OH marrying Catherine Shepherd in 1833, and in federal censuses for Mercer and Darke Counties OH (same location, boundary changed) in 1840 and 1850.
In 1856 the family moved to St. Clair Co. MO, where I have found quite a lot of info for him and descendants. He died there while probate judge in 1876.
Children of Alexander and Catherine Walker are:
John N., b. 1834, married Mary Riegel in OH, d. in MO in 1914.
Hannah M., b. 1836, married Henry Denney in OH & died in MO in 1861.
James M., b. 1838, married Elizabeth Conner in MO, died in MO in 1863.
David, b. 1842, married Frances E. Kellerman in MO, died in MO 1917.
Nemiah (or Nehemiah) b. 1844, no marriage found, died in MO 1861
Jeremiah, b. 1848, married Eliza Jane Lee in MO, lived in Pettis Co. MO, died in 1926
Nancy Olive Jane, b. 1851, married John M. Francis in MO, died in 1931 in MO.
Francis G., b. 1857, died before 1870 in MO
Amanda Elizabeth ('Libbie') b. 1859, married Joseph H. Smith in MO, died in 1944 in KS.
Although I find James Walkers in the Mercer/Darke Co. OH censuses I can't tie them together.
Yes, I am trying to get DNA testing lined up but it will take awhile as I must rely on a very distant branch of the family that isn't very keen on the idea, so I keep trying....
Has anyone any Walkers that might be related at all?
Thanks...
