Our "Samuel and Martha Jefferson Bell Walker of Edgefield SC in 1800" research group has just gotten back the results of a DNA test on a male Walker of this line. We have a match!

Our Walker line matches that of GROUP 10 at the Walker DNA web page: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~fabercove/test_resu...

The Walkers who have already contributed and who are our match in GROUP 10 descend from Richard and Rachel Martin Walker (she was the daughter of Valentine Walker). Richard was thought to have been born about 1790 in SC and died ca 1855 in, possibly MS. A son was William Pinckney Walker who married Hannah Moore.

We are now hoping and looking for other descendants of the Richard and Rachel Walker family to continue to investigate their Walker ancestors. Please let us hear from you if you are researching this family. Also please send this info to others who might be interested.

Look forward to hearing from descendants of Richard and Rachel Martin Walker.
