  From Edward Lee Walker [FTDNA kit no. 343709], subject "Re: walker dna project."

  "Janis: So good to hear from you. My second great grandfather is Joseph Walker who was married to Barbara Wenzel. He was the son of Jacob Walker. They migrated from Tennessee to Illinois sometime in the mid 1800s I think. A son of Joseph was named I believe after his(Joseph's) brother Archelaus (not sure on the spelling). Anyway Arch as we all called him had a son named Leander (went by Lee). Lee later had a son named Edward (probably after him). Edward had only one child who he named Edward Lee (me). I hope this shows the familial associations as far as Jacob is concerned. I have a lot of confusion and a lot of questions but that is normal when so many people input information sometimes useful, sometimes inaccurate. Trying also to find out how to do the DNA test and hearing from you soon. Edward L. Walker"

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.

• RESEARCH:

  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"
