This post was years ago but, I believe Hepzibah Walker, b. abt. 1784 in Vermont was a daughter of Thomas Walker and Lucy Rice. I have no proof of this however. She married Aaron Fisher, Jr. Nov. 6, 1806 in Wendell, Franklin County, Massachusetts and after his death in 1809 she married William Johnson April 1811 in Wendell. They then moved to Putnam County, Illinois to be near her one living child, Otis Fisher and his family.

Does anyone have any proof of Hepzibah Walker's parentage or info about her death which is thought to be abt. 1858 in Illinois? Her grandson, Albert Judson Fisher provided the family with the info I have and he listed her parents as Thomas Walker and Lucy.
