    Notes:

    Married:
    This marriage, which probably occurred around 1804 or 1805, when Mary "Polly" Walker was about 14 or 15, has been suggested to have occurred in Middle Tennessee. I suspect it may have actually occurred in Georgia, however, since George and Mary's first known child was Mary "Polly" Brazzell, born about 1805 Georgia.

    Their second known child was Allen Brazzell, born in 1812, Tennessee, probably Dickson County.

    Three additional females were born to George and Mary "Polly" (Walker) Brazzell between Mary and Allen, according to evidence from the 1820 census enumeration, which shows the family with four females between the ages of 10 and 16, or born between 1804-1810.

    Children:
    1. Mary "Polly" Brazzell was born in Oct 1805 in Georgia, USA; died after 1900 in Dickson County, Tennessee, USA.
    2. Female Brazzell was born between 1804-1810.
    3. Female Brazzell was born between 1805-1810.
    4. Female Brazzell was born between 1805-1810.
    5. Allen Brazzell was born about 1812 in Tennessee, USA; died on 25 Mar 1882 in Dickson County, Tennessee, USA.
    6. Jackson Brazzell was born about 1815 in Tennessee, USA; died after 1880 in Dickson County, Tennessee, USA.
    7. Richmond Brazzell was born about 1817 in Tennessee, USA; died after 1870.

Generation: 4

  1. 12.  Unknown Brazzell
    Children:
    1. 6. George Brazzell was born about 1783 in Georgia, USA; died between 17 Jan 1859-7 March 1859 in Dickson County, Tennessee, USA.

  2. 14.  (Progenitor) Walker was born between 1750 and 1765; died in in Tennessee, USA.

    Other Events:

    • Emigration:
      The England family of Dickson County, TN, came from Goochland VA, and some of them were in Elbert County, GA, at the same time that the Prognitor Walker family was in Georgia. This data is unclear and unsourced but worth noting simply because they were from the same area and settled in Dickson County. The Walker family may have moved with the England and Evans families from Elbert Co GA. And possibly the Bakers. See citation at the end of this passage. ---------------------------------- (14) Patty Martha ENGLAND, (William ENGLAND, William) was born Jun 15, 1775 in Of, Goochland Co., Va., and on Sep 2, 1795 in Amherst Co., Virginia, married Robert EVANS SR., son of William EVANS and JOYCE, who was born in 1767 in Of, Amherst, Virginia. Patty Martha died about 1806 in Elbert Co, Georgia. Robert died on Jun 8, 1855 in Hall, Georgia. Robert was married to Mahala GRANGER. This family of Evans came from the LDS Registry and Robert of Amherst was married to Martha England. The dates matched exactly. I will see in Amherst and Goochland are one and the same. Children: 1 Elizabeth EVANS was born about 1796 in Amherst Co, Virginia. 2 Anderson (Andrew) EVANS was born about 1798 in Elbert, Georgia. Anderson (Andrew) died on Nov 3, 1823 in Hall, Georgia. 3 Joseph EVANS was born about 1800 in Elbert Co, Georgia. died on Oct 3, 1826 in Hall Co, Georgia. 4 Thomas Carter EVANS was born about 1802 in Elbert Co, Georgia. 5 Robert EVANS JR. was born in 1805 in Elbert Co, Georgia. Robert died in 1885 in Of Milton Co., Georgia. 6 Sarah EVANS was born about 1806 in Elbert Co, Georgia.

    • Note:
      Dana Sue Tilley, atDNA tested, is in common with William E. Walker, Sandra Pippin, Jerrold Joseph Walker, and Lanelle Boyd. Her line of descent includes a Bull family that has surnames McMurry and Herman. Requires investigation. John Porter McMeans says that her Nail/Neil family came from Franklin Co GA around the same time as Joseph H. Walker.
    • NOTE_RESEARCH:
      John Porter McMeans, DNA-tested descendant of Joseph H. Walker, believed to be Joseph Harmon or Herman Walker. Email from John dated 4 August 2014:
      "Good morning Janis, Logged on as William E Walker this AM and noticed that Dana Sue Tilley, who claims lineage to Joseph H Walker matches Mayville and Pippin very closely. I believe that she descends from Joseph's eldest, but little known daughter Amanda, who married into the Nails that came from Franklin Co, Ga about the same time as Joseph. Has any common surname cropped up that may the spouse of our Walker progenitor?"
    • NOTE_RESEARCH: William Walker's will, Nottaway County, VA, 1789-1802. Had a son named Richard. The weird Dickson County deed for the land that Elizabeth Walker got was to Richard [no surname]--could this have been Walker? Northern Nottaway County is on the waters of the James River. Samuel Allen Walker said he was raised near or on the James River.
    • RESEARCH:
      Early militia officers in Hickman County: 1809: John Walker 1812: Elisha Walker 1813: Richard Walker 1814: Elisha Walker 1817: Elias R. Walker From Spence's History of Hickman County, Chapter XXI, pp. 400-442. Other names listed with are not necessarily any red flags. Available Google Books. Same book indicates that Dr. Joel Walker of Williamson Co was brother to Pleasant Walker of Hickman Co.
    • RESEARCH: Peter Walker married Elenor Clarke on 8 April 1783; security was Thomas Hodges. Goochland County, Virginia. About right for Arch\'s birth 17 December that year? https://books.google.com/books?id=qjhDAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA93&lpg=PA93&dq=%22Peter+Walker%22+%22Elenor+Clarke%22+Goochland+VA&source=bl&ots=WnCsJXJCuM&sig=7KBnLnxhTtLDwQ-lSo5bK9jI2BA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjRt5elloDaAhXIm-AKHQSwBhkQ6AEIKzAB#v=onepage&q=%22Peter%20Walker%22%20%22Elenor%20Clarke%22%20Goochland%20VA&f=false
    • RESEARCH: The lack of a birth state or close date of birth, as well as no given name for the father or surname for the mother presents research problems. The research path is further complicated by early record losses in Dickson County, Tennessee, their last known place of residence. The county was created in 1803; its 1810 federal census is not extant, few marriage records pre-date 1830, tax lists begin in 1831, and chancery court records begin in 1836. Fortunately, land records and county court records are available from 1804 and early state militia records are also helpful.

      Email from Jon P. Ward (Greenville and Ridgeway, SC), who manages the atDNA (FTDNA) acct of Edgar Richard Parker. Email address jmpward46913@bellsouth.net
      "Janis, Thank you for your inquiry. Edgar Richard Parker is my cousin and I am keeper of family research. However, I am new to FTDNA and learning to "read" test results. The genealogy lineage of our Walker line is as follows: Andrew Walker - b. 1745- Va., d. 1845 SC; son- Drury Walker- b. 1766 Va., d. 1846 SC; m. Margaret Bailey - b. 1776 SC., d. 1858 -SC.; their son - James Bailey Walker - b. 1818 - SC, d. 1910 - SC; m. Martha Neeley, b. 1817 - SC, d. 1885 -SC. Their daughter Emma Walker - b. 1843, SC, d. 1898 - SC married Eli Wood Parker - b. 1837 - SC, d.1924 - SC. Their son Edgar William Parker b. 1877 - SC, d. 1963 - SC; m. Sarah Hogan, b 1876 - SC, d. 1935 - SC. Their youngest child was James Walker Parker - b. 1914 SC, d. 1971 SC was the father of Edgar Richard Parker. Another cousin is awaiting results of Family Finder and he is also related to the Walker line but one generation after ERParker. None of the names you listed appear in my Walker genealogy. The sons of Drury Walker were Robert B. Walker b. 1804; James Bailey Walker; John B. Walker b. 1817, d. in Ala.; Thomas B. Walker, b. 1819 d. 1904 SC; Drury Walker Jr., b. 1823, d. 1844 - SC; Andrew B. Walker (dates unkn.). There were four daughters. Drury Walker b. 1766 Va. may have had a brother who migrated into Georgia. Elijah Walker b. 1802 Ga., may have been his son. This is speculation, of course. Researchers interested in Fairfield County, SC are awaiting acceptance from FTDNA for a Project site. This should be a very interesting site as many people in the county are inter-related by marriage. I research the Boulware, Crumpton, Hogan, McCants, Parker, Wilson, and Walker lines and find many double relationships within the family. My own grandparents were 2nd cousins through the Hogan line. Maybe some of this info will assist you. Watch for the Fairfield County, SC Project on FTDNA as there are many Walkers living in the county and hopefully will be tested. I will keep your info and should I come across any of the names I will certainly let you know. Best of luck in your research. Jon Jon P. Ward Greenville and Ridgeway, SC."

    Notes:

    Samuel Allen Walker's daughter's bio (see his entries for sourcing and full text) indicate his birth in Amherst County, Virginia. A search of the FHL's two index volumes for Amherst marriages did not discover a Walker male married to an Elizabeth:
    • Amherst County, Virginia marriages 1763-1800, 975.5496 V2am
      Amherst County, Virginia, marriage bonds 1753-1853, 975.5496 V2sw

      Both volumes contained only these marriages:
      • Joel Walker to Mary Penn (1775)
      • Robert Walker to Nancy Powell (1792)


      The 1775 marriage is early enough for the birth of earliest-known child Archalaus in 1785, and could have been a first marriage for Progenitor?



      Possible parent? George Walker of Goochland County, son of William Walker and his first wife (second wife Jane Burton). George Walker married Eliza Green in 1787 Goochland Co VA, William Walker also mentioned.

      Could this be a second marriage of our Progen to Elizabeth? Possibly Samuel A., Archalaus were from the first marriage? Timing is right for Elizabeth, Polly, etc to begin being born 1790 GA. Married and moved to GA?

      Older brother Patton Walker.

      Patton Walker, who was early in Madison/Macoupin IL area, would have been the uncle of Samuel and Arch.

      Rufus Ray Clark, Jr., has an autosomal DNA match to James R. Walker, Sr. and Gerald Hartley. Rufus is from the Jacob/Agnes line, Gerald from the Elizabeth/James Hartley line, and James R. Walker descends from the Patton Walker who was in Macoupin Co IL.

      HOWEVER, Patton Walker's Y-DNA placed him in Group 26, not Group 2, of the Walker DNA study.

      Most people seem to feel that additional children were James and Matilda.

      Birth:
      Evidence would indicate that Archalaus was the older brother or half-brother of Elijah Walker (1802). Arch's obit indicates that he was born 1783 Virginia. If we assume that progenitor Walker was at least 18 years old, that puts his birth at prior to 1765. Since he was still having children in 1802, it is unlikely, though possible, that he was born prior to 1750.

      (Progenitor) married Elizabeth (--?--) before 1790. Elizabeth was born in 1775-1785; died before 7 Apr 1823 in Dickson County, Tennessee, USA; was buried in Dickson County, Tennessee, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  3. 15.  Elizabeth (--?--) was born in 1775-1785; died before 7 Apr 1823 in Dickson County, Tennessee, USA; was buried in Dickson County, Tennessee, USA.

    Other Events:

    • RESEARCH: Hypothesis: Could Elizabeth's surname have been Allen? Hence she named her son after a brother Samuel Allen? There was a Richard Allen--and the name on her same property, earlier, was Richard, with no last name.
    • Possible Residence: 1783, Virginia, USA;
      If Elizabeth Walker was also the mother of Archalus, she probably lived in Virginia in 1783.
    • Residence: 1790-aft 1802, Georgia, USA;
      Elizabeth Walker resided in Georgia as early as the birth of daughters Elizabeth and Polly in 1790 and as late as the birth of Elijah in 1802.
    • Census: 1820, Dickson County, Tennessee, USA;
      Elizabeth Walker household 2 males 16 - 26 [Elijah, abt 18, George H. abt 19] 1 female 26 - 45 [Elizabeth Walker] 2 engaged in agriculture Slaves: 1 male under 14 1 female under 14 [Ailee?]
    • Court: 29 Jan 1823, Dickson County, Tennessee, USA;
      Deed of gifts from Elizabeth Walker her "beloved son" Elijah Walker, giving him a slave girl named Ailee. The deed specifies that offspring of the slave are to be given to his sisters, Elizabeth "Heartly" [Hartley], Polly "Bazzell" [Brazzell], and Ritha Turner. The deed is witnessed by George H. Brazzell. This deed is important evidence of relationships, specifying that Elijah is the son of Elizabeth Walker, that Elizabeth, Polly, and Ritha, are his sisters, and that George H., also her "beloved son" is Elijah's brother. It is also evidence of who the three named girls married. On the same date, Elizabeth Walker also made a Deed of Gifts to her "beloved son" George H. Walker, leaving him a slave boy. Elijah Walker witnessed this deed.
    • Court: 7 Apr 1823, Charlotte, Dickson County, Tennessee, USA; George H. Walker and Jacob Walker are made administrators for Elizabeth Walker, deceased.
    • Probate: 1 Jan 1825, Dickson County, Tennessee, USA

    Notes:

    See attached sources.

    1853 Dickson Co will of Alexander Wilkins mentions in a land description "Elizabeth Walker's spring" and the will is witnessed by Robert A. Reaves.

    Birth:
    We don't know if Elizabeth was the mother of all of "Progenitor's" children.

    1820 census places her age between 26-45, calculating to 1775-1794.

    Birth of "beloved son" George in 1801 (if she was not mother of the older children) suggests that she was at least 14 by that time--probably older--and was therefore likely born between 1775-1786.

    The one census is the only direct evidence we have of Elizabeth's age. If it is right, she could not have been the mother of Archalaus or Samuel. She might, however, have been the mother of Elizabeth, Polly, Jacob, Joseph, Ritha, George H., and Elijah.

    Probate:
