Notes

A "Willis C. Tull" served with the 1st KY Cav. (Woodward), organized in the summer of 1861; due to arduous Kentucky service in September-October 1862, it was assigned to other regiments, particularly the 3rd KY. Cav.

A "W. C. Tull" served with the 2nd KY Cav., organized in December 1862, and served in the Army of Tennessee.

However, since Woodward was at the head of the 2nd Cav., and since he was present with the 1st Cavalry in which a "Willis C. Tull" served, it seems likely that W. C. Tull and Willis C. Tull were the same individual.

Was this individual the husband of Margaret M. Walker? His presence in Tennessee battles indicates that it is possible.

 

A New York Times article published on his death in 1906 ("Dean of Speculators, Edward B. Wesley Dies," 4 October 1906) states that Edward B. Wesley was born in January 1811, in Leicester, Worcester County, Massachusetts--which information must have been supplied to them by family or in other written materials on Wesley.

Additionally, there is a birth record for an Edward "Barnes" Wesley, born 11 January 1811, in Leicester, Worcester County, Massachusetts, on FamilySearch. No digital image is available. The parents were recorded as Alexander and Mary Wesley. 

A biography of his father Daniel B. Sawyer states that John was the oldest. His birth year has been estimated from their marriage date of 1834.

However, 1850 census states John's age as 13, calculating to about 1837 birth. 1836 may be about right. 

A James Burke died at the East Kentucky Asylum in Covington on 7 April 1900, and was buried at St. Patrick's. He was born in Cincinnati to Patrick and Mary Burke, who were both born in Ireland. Found in the Kentucky Death Records, 1852-1953, Ancestry.com 

A James H. Walker estate was probated in Macoupin County, 1872 (Probate Index A). The administratrix was Mary Walker. Supporting the likelihood that this James H. was the James Walker born in 1818 who married Mary Bentley is:

• Name of administratrix, "Mary Walker"
  
• Marriage of Mrs. Mary Walker to Samuel S. Drake in 1876 Macoupin County
  
• Mary's enumeration in 1880 Madison County, Illinois, in the Samuel Drake household records her age as 55, calculating to a birth year of 1825, the same as the Mary (Bentley) Walker, wife of James Walker
  
• Present in the 1880 census household of Samuel and Mary Drake was James [P? C?] Walker, age 21, "step son." This age corresponds closely to the age of apparent son James C. found in the 1870 census of James and Mary (Bentley) Walker.

 

A letter written by Samuel A. Walker's granddaughter states that Harriet Ann Walker married a man named Williams, "he died" a year or so later. The "he" is probably a typographic error in the typescript, as Harriet Ann Walker Williams' cemetery marker in Rock Island County, Illinois, shows that she died in April 1855, about a year after her marriage.

The letter from a granddaughter, rendered as typescript, was published in the newspaper around 1936. In it she stated that Harriet's son "grew up and married and died about forty years ago," leaving a wife and two children. The letter went on to say that his widow remarried and the family had lost track of them. 

A Luther D. Walker is found in the Zion area of Izard County for his WWI draft registration--the same place that Ewell Oscar Walker was registered for the draft. However, while Ewell Oscar's birthdate conformed to his 1900 census data, that of Luther D. Walker indicted his birth in 1885--7 years earlier.

A Luther D. Walker is found in the 1930 Izard Co census, married to Ethel M., and with a calculated birth year of 1887. Both the WWI draft reg and a marriage record identify this as the same Luther D. Walker, married to Myrtle Ethel Taylor. Everything points to an 1885 (or thereabouts) birth--unlikely to have been confused in 1900 by so much and so specifically.

Finally, Luther D. Walker and his wife have a headstone at Pea Ridge Cemetery in Benton County. It gives Luther D.'s birthdate as 11 May 1885, whereas the subject Luther Walker's birth (in the 1900 census) was May 1892.

Additionally, Luther D's 1930 census states that both of his parents were born in Arkansas.

Luther D. Walker (husband of Ethel) died in 1965 and his headstone is in Pea Ridge.

There is a Luther Walker listed as a burial in LaCrosse Cemetery in Izard County where Jacob and Mary Walker are buried. Though it offers no dates for birth or death, it appears likely that these are two different Luther Walkers, both residing in Izard County, and within 8 years of being the same age. 

A number of internet sources offer Bertha's death date as 2 July 1970, but no further confirmation of this date has yet been obtained. 

A public record entry (only source is a long list of voter's records, public filings, etc.) on Ancestry indicates that his birthdate was 28 August 1904. 

A Samuel A. Walker appears on the 1812 tax list for Humphreys County, Tennessee. It is likely that this is the Samuel A. Walker who was a likely sibling of Archalaus, Jacob, Elijah, and George H. Walker. 

A search of Tennessee marriages (Ancestry.com) has failed to locate the marriage of a Thomas Adams to a "Turner" or "R*th*" or to any name that might appear to be "Ritha" --excepting Ruth. None of the locations and dates seemed likely to be the right person.

Arkansas marriage databases on FamilySearch were also search with varying search terms, with no success.

William T. Adams (son of the 1850 household) is still in Dallas County in 1880.

Ritha and Thomas Adams are both absent from the 1860 Dallas County census, nor have they been located elsewhere. They may have both died between 1850 and 1860. 

A specific death date of 31 March 1874 is offered by the Norma Jeane Bell family group sheet. this fits with known evidence. 

A Tandy Walker is found in 1870 Logan County, Illinois--also in the Laenna post office area. A possible relative of Jehu? Tandy is a name that appears among Group 2 in the Walker DNA study. 

A Theodosia E. Walker is found marrying Stephen B. Byrd in White County, Arkansas on 23 September 1880. An Ancestry record also records Theodosia Cassandra Walker as marrying Steve Burtis Byrd, and states that her parents were John Manley Walker and Rachel Barnett.

Cassandra is the middle name of J. M. Walker's younger sister (Sarah Cassandra "Cassie" Walker Lasater). 

A Veromi report lists a lengthy string of misdemeanor and other charges against Peggy, mostly for manufacturing drugs with intent to sell, but also (in 2011) for child sexual abuse.

See Veromia report and an online mugshot in her folder. 

A Willis C. Tull served as a private in Co A, 1st KY Cav. (Helms), M377, roll 13. 

A. Walker household
1 male of 50 and under 60 [Samuel Walker, age 55]
3 females of 5 and under 10 [Julia age 4, Sarah, age 10, Julia age 7]
1 female of 10 and under 15 [Harriet, age 13]
1 female of 30 and under 40 [Nancy (Thompson) Walker, age 35]

[While this may not be the Samuel A. Walker household, its makeup is nearly perfect--the only "off" is Julia about 4 in the 5-10 column, which could have been an error and is very close. The bio of their daughter Eliza (Walker) Paul places them in Rock County around this period.] 

Aaron Sawyer's probate record (appt of administratrix in March 1880) lists his surviving children, including "Nancy Sawyer." This serves to confirm that the Nancy Walker who married Warren Sawyer in 1863 was the daughter of Aaron Walker.

According to a Rootsweb file, the obituary of Everett G. Lasater appeared in the Joplin (Missouri) Globe), 6 February 1998 

According to son George F.'s entry in the California death index his mother's maiden name was "Salem." This is probably an erroneous transcription of "Flynn." Capital F's and S's can look quite similar, and a double n could look like an m. There is an "L" in the middle of both of them. 

Actually the license date--not necessarily the marriage date. 

Additional children listed in his son's obituary, this page. I believe since his name was Billy Ray, and clearly he was born in 1930, the year of Patrick's second marriage, that the Billy Oren Walker named as a brother must have been the child of Patrick's first brief marriage. The others listed are probably the children of his second wife, Lola Mae Kizer. 

Affidavit of John Laccource, 11 August 1899, Cedar County, Missouri, states his brother married Levinia Dean about 1867. 

After settling in St. Clair County, Illinois, they moved back to Livingston County, Kentucky, to escape Indian problems. While there, Abram died. 

Age 17 at the time of her March 1854 marriage to Thomas Atkinson.

Info from descendant Mary Lee Shelton gives her birth in July 1838. The 1900 census gives her birth as November 1838. 

Age 18 at the time of her 1898 marriage. 

Age at death, per death certificate, 92. 

Age calculated from 1887 death certificate giving his age as 84. 

Age in 1850 census appears to be 30, but may be 36, which would again come out to approximately 1814 for birth. 1850 census gives Canada as his birthplace, while the 1860 gives New York. 1855 census also gives Canada as his birthplace. It seems likely that the earlier census is correct on this point.

Alexander Woollums died just about two months after he mustered into Co. A, 155th Illinois Infantry. Ironically, his death date was 7 April 1865--the day that Grant demanded Lee's surrender. The surrender took place on 7 April 1865.

Alice (Purdy) Lasater's death certificate names her parents as Alec Purdy and Cellie Purdy. It is possible that the informant for the certificate did not know Cellie's maiden name, or it is possible that Cellie and Alec were cousins. 

Alice is not found after the 1900 census. She may have died between 1900 and 1904, as her husband Luther Simpson married again about 1904. It is possible that she divorced. 

Alice was just 17 when she married; permission was given by her father, Andrew Jackson Smith. 

Alice's birthplace is somewhat in question.
1880 enumeration with parents, age 1, "Missouri"
1900 enumeration with husband, age 21, "Missouri"
1910 enumeration with husband, age 31, "Missouri"
1920 enumeration, widowed, age 41, "Missouri"
Interview with Bonnie Compton (descendant of Helton Alanson Walker) "Hoxie, Lawrence Co ARK"
Death cert "Fulton Co, MO" 

Allen was married at age 19, requiring the permission of his father who was named as "Hardin Lasater." 

Alonzo and Elizabeth had no children together. 

Alonzo Nichols and Ada Williams were never married. Alonzo was a married man living next door to the Williams family. 

Also in Archalaus's 1810 militia company, and worth studying:
Captains:

John Wright, Capt.
Lewis Russell

Lieutenants:

Needham Hilliard
James Gunn
William Turner

Ensigns:

Charles Baker
Archelas Walker
William Gunn
William Ragan

 

Also in District 5 are four other Tacker households (Seaborn, John, Joseph, Joshua), two of them with acreage (John and Joshua). Joshua has the most acreage (554 acres) and is the only one not paying a white poll, which may indicate that he is the eldest and is exempt from the poll (check age in law).

Also in District 5 is Vincent Tidwell, with 1 white poll and 86 acres.

The William with one white poll and no acreage may be the individual that married Jane Eveline Tidwell, a daughter of Vincent, possibly about 1838. 

Also known as "Rutherford," but probably not ever called "Helton."
