  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.
