Achilles married Julia Teeter about 1875. Julia (daughter of George W. C. Teter and Elizabeth Walker) was born on 28 Feb 1852 in Madison County, Illinois, USA; died on 11 Jun 1921 in Summerfield, St. Clair County, Illinois, USA; was buried in Collinsville, Madison County, Illinois, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events:

• Parents:

  Julia's mother is stated on her death certificate as "Mary Walker." The GenForum posting (see on this page) by Richard D. Teter names her mother as "Elizabeth Walker." The latter posting also names several of Julia's siblings, including an Agnes and a Jacob. The latter tends to support a likelihood that Julia Teeter's mother was a child of Jacob and Agnes (McLean) Walker. Supporting this likelihood, Julia's 1880 and 1910 census states her mother's birth in Tennessee. Julia has not been located in census prior to her marriage.

  Posting by Robert D. Teter, 23 January 2001, Genealogy.com's GenForum, "Teter Family Genealogy Forum":

  "Karl, Thanks for the post. What I have found in my limited research is a lot of Philip and George Teter(s)!! It seems to have been a very popular name. :-) Who do you show for Philip's father and mother? What area of Illinois did he live? I saw the Blackhawk war records in the Illinois archives and assumed that it was my gg grandfather, but maybe it was yours. My father used to recall family stories of shooting indians out of the trees in during the "indian" wars that's why I associated it my gg grandfather. Did your Philip own land in St. Clair county in the early 1800's? (I noticed that in the Illionis archives also.) What I have from the family records is that Philip Teter b. June 13 1788 d. July 31 1844 married Rebekah Robinson b. Sept. 5 1793 d. Dec. 14 1844 and they had five children. They were: George Washington Cartwright Teter born April 1828 in Troy Illinois (present day Madison Co. although I believe this was St. Clair Co. at the time). Others were Samuel, John, Nancy and Harriet. It's not recorded who besides George survived childhood. The marriage records came from Illinois marriage records (married Feb. 14 1815 ((Illinois records)) or Feb. 16 1815 ((family bible records)) plus the Bible of Rebecca Mills. I don't have birth dates on the others, as George W.C. is my direct link back. George Washington Cartwright Teter was married prior to 1848 to Elizabeth Walker in Illinois. She was born approximately in 1828 in Tenn.?? I don't have burial information. They had ten children: Nancy Ellen, b. about 1848, Agnes, Stephen, Julia Harriet, Jacob b. Dec. 1844, my grandfather Philip b. Oct. 27 1856, d. Feb. 9 1943, Rebecca, Jane 1851-1854, John 1854-1856 and Peter 1856-1858. The information on Jane, John and Peter found in 1860 census and other information from the Bible of Rebecca Mills. Family history (from my father) said that George left Illinois for Missouri to work on the railroad and to escape the Civil War draft. However, George W. C. was dead before my father was born so that's certainly second hand information but should be reliable. I don't have much information on George's life in Missouri except the notation that he died April 22, 1898 and is buried in Stoutland, Laclede Co., Missouri. (This is in S.W. Missouri). Philip Teter (the son of George W. C. Teter) married Mary Sultina Adams Sept. 28 1884 in Gillespie, Macoupin County, Illinois. They had six children, with only three surviving through adult hood. All lived in the Macoupin County Illinois area with the exception of William Earl who lived in S.E. Missouri and had two daughters. My father Kenneth Larman, was the youngest born in Feb. 13, 1903 , d. Sept. 25, 1992. Philip and Mary Sultina and all the children with the exception of my father are buried in the Morrison cemetary in Macoupin County Illinois. Sorry for the "long winded" post, but I'm interested in more information on your side of the family. Thanks, Bob"

• Death: 11 Jun 1921, Summerfield, St. Clair County, Illinois, USA;

Other Events:

• Parents:
  Supporting Jacob Walker and Agnes McLean as his parents:

  Elijah, Retha, Mary "Polly," Elizabeth, and George H. were known siblings born in Georgia and all found in Dickson County, Tennessee in 1820

  George H. and Jacob were co-administrators of Elizabeth Walker's estate in 1823

  When Elizabeth Walker deeded slaves to Elijah and George H respectively, Archalus Walker came from Illinois to contest the deed, and won the suit

  The above, when taken as a whole, support the sibling relationship of Jacob and Archalus to the known other five siblings

  Joseph named a son Archalus and a daughter "Wreathea" (probably a form of Retha)

  Mary (Walker) Best is found in the 1850 household of Archalaus Walker, listed behind Jacob and Agnes, also living with Archalaus

  The Jehu Walker lawsuit names his siblings as Joseph Walker (making it clear that it is the Joseph married to Barbara), Samuel Walker, and Mary Best (who is specified as residing in Texas, identifying her clearly)

  Though many people think that Joseph and Mary (Walker) Best were the children of a Samuel A. Walker, it seems more than possible that they were the children of Jacob and Agnes McLean

  In conclusion, more research is necessary

Notes:

The 1938 death certificate of Joseph's namesake son, Joseph Walker (born 1851) states that his father was born in Virginia. While census data contradicts this, it may be an indication general family knowledge--that Joseph's father was born in Virginia.

Joseph married Barbara Weincil about 1849 in Illinois, USA. Barbara was born about 1823 in Germany; died in 1910; was buried in Wayne Cemetery, Dorchester, Macoupin County, Illinois, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events:

• Alt. Birth:

  The death index of her son Joseph Walker named his parents as "Joseph Walker" and "Barbara Windsill."

• Alt. Name:

  Death index listing of daughter Frances Barbara (Walker) Clark in 1938 names her as "Barbara Winsill," born in "Byron," Germany.

• Alt. Birth: 1826

Notes:

Name:

Variants "Teeter' or "Teters"

Birth:

Daughter Julia's death certificate indicates that he was born in Madison County, Illinois. However, it said the same about her mother, Elizabeth Chowning, who was actually born in Tennessee, so the informant may not have been knowledgeable.

George married Elizabeth Walker on 22 Aug 1848 in Madison County, Illinois, USA. Elizabeth (daughter of Jacob Walker and Agnes McLean) was born about 1828 in Tennessee, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events:

• RESEARCH:

  Argument for Elizabeth Walker as the daughter of Jacob and Agnes Walker

  • Names children Jacob and Agnes
  • Her daughter Julia/Jane married Joseph Walker's son Achilles "Arch" Walker, they were first cousins
  • She was born about 1828 in Tennessee, which fits perfectly with the Jacob Walker family. He moved to Illinois about 1831-32 from Dickson County, Tennessee

  Notes:
  

  Could Jacob have had two sons named James?
  
  In the 1850 census, James A. Walker appears in the household. Archalus Walker is the head, but all children are listed after Jacob, implying that they were his children. James A. Walker was born about 1832 in Illinois.
  
  Archalus C. Walker is another son of Jacob Walker, and he is found in the 1850 Macoupin Co census, living in the home of a James Walker, born about 1818 in Tennessee. James Walker is married to Mary, and they have children Agnes and Jacob, strong evidence that James was the son of Jacob. Additionally, internet sources name him as the son of Jacob and Agnes.
  
  Either Jacob named two sons James, or possibly one of them was the son of another brother, who lived with Jacob's family? Other postulated brothers included a James and a Joseph.
  
  

  To Do:
  
  Obtain Black Hawk War records for:

  • Phillip V. Walker (pvt, S. Pruitt Co., Regt. 1, Whiteside Brigade; enrolled in Edwardsville.[Black Hawk War veterans database. Illinois Archives online]
    
  • John L. Walker (married Elizabeth Scroggins)
    
    Both listed on the Macoupin County GenWeb archives as Black Hawk War veterans.
    
    Possibly both children of Jacob?
    
    Transcribe Jacob's bounty land file
    
    
    May have additional children Philip V. Walker and James Walker (b abt 1818 TN)
    
    

    1815 will of David McAdow, Dickson County, mentions his daughter "Jean McClean." Jean may have married a brother of Agnes McLean? Or be the mother of Agnes? Image no. 798-799, Tennessee, Probate Court Books, 1795-1927, DicksonWills, 1800-1899, FamilySearch.
    
    Birth:
    

    The only direct evidence of Jacob's birthplace is his 1850 census enumeration in Madison County, Illinois, stating his age as 57, and his brithplace as South Carolina.
    
    Indirect evidence, however, would suggest a birthplace of Georgia:

    • His probable sister, Mary "Polly" (Wallker) Brazzell was born in Georgia about 1790.
      
    • His probable younger siblings, George H., Elijah, and Retha, were born in Georgia in 1801 and 1802, respectively.
      
    • The of obituary his likely brother Archalaus Walker, ten years older, stated that he (Archalaus) was born in Virginia, raised in Georgia and lived in Tennessee for many years. Archalaus was born about 1783; if he was "raised" in Georgia, the family was probably in Georgia when he was age 10, 1793, the year of Jacob's birth.
      
    • Jacob's sons John M., Archalaus C., and Joseph Walker were enumerated in 1880 in various places (see citations under individuals), and all enumerations agreed that their father was born in Georgia.
      
    • In conflict with this is the census enumeration of younger daughter Mary M. (Walker) Best in 1900 and 1910; her enumerations indicate that her father was born in Tennessee. However, this is the only suggestion of his birth in Tennessee, and no other evidence indicates the family's arrival in Tennessee prior to at least 1806.
