Ina Walker King did a genealogy of this family published as "King, Walker and Connecting Families Who's Who".
She gives this infornmation about Thomas WALKER:

"Devilin' Tom" Walker got his nickname because he was always teasing and playing jokes and sometimes they were pretty bad. They said at playing jokes he was the meanest man in the county.
Tom Walker and his wife, Eliza, owned several acres of land along the foot Cove Mountain in Wears Cove. With a homesite in the vincinity of what is now known as Cove Mont, he raised his family and as each son married, he would build them a house nearby on his land. After his wife Eliza died, he married Eva Rosanna MAPLES KING (widow of Louis Wilson KING) on 3 April 1879, five days after Eliza died. They had no children. Father's family always called her "Aunt Granny Rosanny" because she had first been their Aunt, then their Grandmother, both by marriage.

Thomas and Eliza are both buried in the Mattox Cemetery in Wears Valley, Sevier County, Tennessee
