Hi,

My ggg grandfather William S Thornton married Elizabeth Walker - 1812 Edgefield, SC. There were three male Walker families in the immediate area but I cannot connect her to either line with documentation other than the marriage record. She was born 1794.

My Mother is Nancy Jane (Walker) Braner, 1 of eight children originally from Dayton, Ohio, we Live in Atlanta, Ga., I am just now starting this online, but I have alot of information and just need to navigate my way around on how to use these sights, My Uncle Larry George Walker, has started our family tree on Geni.com if this helps at all.

Hi Everyone,
My Walkers lived in Ontario, then moved to the States finally settling in Minnesota.

I'm researching Walkers of Sumter County, Alabama. The farthest back I've been able to go with certainty is Francis Marvin Walker (1846-1928).

My Walker search is for Information on Finest Estell Walker born 1 August 1880, possibly 1883. documentation varies between year. He was born somewhere in Tennessee and married Carrie Calline Hamilton on 21 Oct 1990 in Jack County, TX. He died in Wichita County, TX on 22 April 1964

My great great grandmother was Elizabeth Walker who was born at Heathesville, Northumberland County, Virginia July 29,1812 and died October 26,1890 in Hickman County,Tennessee. Her parents were Thomas Walker and Mary (Sarah) Coleman both of Virginia. Elizabeth married John Grimes February 25,1830 in Maury County, Tennessee.Their children were:George, Thomas, Missouri, William, Sarah, Martha, and Alice, my great grandmother. I would like to hear from anyone connected to this family. I would especially like to know Elizabeth's ancestry and information about her siblings. Phillip

Hey Susan E.,
My Walkers also came from Ontario [Markdale] and settled in Duluth, MN! Any chance we have a connection?

My Walkers settled in Clermont County Ohio ca. 1806. Hillery B Walker born 1782 possibly in Pennsylvania came to Ohio with his father-in-law Adam Snell who was from Hagerstown Maryland. I am up against the same brick wall that some others have hit. We cannot find the parents of Hillery. Help!

This message is for Susan Buchanan or anyone else looking for Walker memorabilia. I have a copy of a letter dated Dec, 1869 written by Fannie Walker to her cousin Margaret (Maggie) Goen. Fannie was the daughter of Thomas Walker and Nancy Goen. Nancy Goen was sister to Hugh Goen, father of Maggie. Hugh and his family moved from GA to AL in the 1850's or 60's to the Macon Co. area, before moving on to TX by 1869. If anyone would like a copy of this letter, please contact me ogoenranch@aol.com. I don't know anything more about this Walker connection, but would love to learn more.

My Walkers immigrated to the USA in the late 1880's and 1890's from Port Glasgow. Scotland Frank Walker married Annie Howarth and settled in Newport New, Va Anthony Walker married Mary and settled in Baltimore Md. There parents names were Francis Walker and Mary Mc Laughlan

When Posting Requests / Surnames:

I and many other Walkers are always glad to help with research, but there are a few basic pieces of information we need in order to be acurate.

Because there are probably hundreds if not thousands of people with the same name (Walker is 17th most common in Scotland and US) then we need the following to help discern one Walker from another:

Names
birth dates
places of birth
siblings
husband or wife

and anything else you can provide. Knowing a person's name and the date they came to the US or wherever is not enough to identify most people.

Kind Regards,

Jim Walker

Hi Jim,

We have a female Walker in our line. Here's the information on her:

Elizabeth Walker (Thornton)
1794 Edgefield SC
Siblings unknown at this time. Although we do know their children's names:
Nancy, Sallie, Emily, John (Jack) Walker, Samuel, Edmond. It is highly probable that their son John Walker was named after Elizabeth's father or brother. The only other possibility we know of is that William had a half brother named John G. also nicknamed Jackie.
We have a document to support proof of their marriage - william sold Jeriah Dillard 200 acres lying on the waters of Beaverdam Creek, Jan 13, 1818, and Elizabeth Thornton relinquished all her right and claim to her Dower to Jeariah Dillard, Jan 22 1819. Robert Walker signed as justice of peace (may have been a relative of Elizabeth's)
William S. Thornton - husband. b. 1792 Edgefield SC

Gene Ray,
Your posting is interesting. My Walker line is from VA, moved to northeastern GA in the 1790's, and on to Middle Tennessee probably around 1807. My direct ancestor in this line, Helton Rutherford Walker (b 1828), married Esther Elizabeth Thornton, and was said to have had some previous relationship with the family.

Esther Elizabeth Thornton's grandfather was Josiah Thornton, born abt 1779, South Carolina. I reside in SC, and am a professional genealogist, but have not worked on the Thornton line.

Janis,

Not in our line. I think this Thornton was born/living in Spartanberg. We are part of the Quaker Thornton line. Our line goes back through NC and VA then England. Thank you for your reply!
