Levi married Mary A. Cockrum on 30 Dec 1857 in Dickson County, Tennessee, USA. Mary (daughter of Susan Cockrum) was born in 1842 in Tennessee, USA; died between 1875 and 1880 in Illinois, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Birth:
1860 Hamilton Co IL census indicates her age as 18.

Notes:

It seems likely that there was some estrangement between Levi's first family and his second. James Fred "Fred" Walker, a son of his second marriage died in 1958 and his obituary named his living full siblings, stated that he had two sisters that died before him, and even stated that he had two half-brothers who died before him. The two step-brothers referenced must have been Charles and Norman Holmes, the sons of Winnie's first marriage. No mention was made of any of his half-siblings from Levi's first marriage.

Walker was born in Aug 1861 in Jefferson County, Illinois, USA; died after 1910 in Bates County, Missouri, USA. Nathan Walker was born about 1865 in Illinois, USA; died before 1914. 4. Osceola Alonzo Walker was born on 18 Sep 1868 in Jefferson County, Illinois, USA; died on 3 Oct 1915 in Choctaw County, Oklahoma, USA; was buried in Grant Cemetery, Grant, Choctaw County, Oklahoma, USA.
