Notes

Georgia death index on FamilySearch gives only approximate year of 1912 for birth. 

Girtie was married to Edward Wilkerson between her first husband's death in April 1922 and her entry in the Nashville directory in 1924. It appears likely, then, that all of the children in her 1930 census enumeration were hers

Granddaughter's letter referred to her as "May." 

Granddaughter's letter states that "there were several stepbrothers and sisters by a former marriage." She adds that she only knew one, John, who "was the oldest step brother and the father of Tom and Carol Walker of Irving, Kansas." 

Hallie's age is 10 in the 1900 census, but 28 in the 1920 census, calculating to a birth year of 1890-1892. Her death certificate, however, gave her birthdate as 11 March 1893.

It is likely that the day was 11 March (agreeing with the 1900 census which gave her birth month as March), but she was probably born in 1890. 

Hardin's delayed birth certificate states he was born in Dickson County, Tennessee. His WWI draft reg indicates he was born in Williamson Co TN. 

Hardy was enumerated in Dade County from 1860-1880, his widow was enumerated there in 1900, and he was buried in a Dade County cemetery. It is likely that he died there. 

Hardy's 1900 census enumeration offers birth of June 1880. Charles Bowen's book offers birth date of 4 June 1879. Since Hardy did not appear in the 1880 census as either a 1-year-old (or a newborn), it is likely that he was born in 1880, not 1870. His cemetery marker offers a birthdate of 4 June 1880, likely to be the correct date. 

Harlow Cemetery marker offers birth year only, of 1890. 

Harriet Friend married a man named Bogue sometime prior to the birth of her son James, about 1864. Unsourced internet data names him as "John Bogue" or "John Henry Bogue." The 1951 death certificate of James Henry Bogue names his parents as Harriet Friend and Henry Bogue. 

Harriet's cause of death was "milk leg," an inflammation of the femoral vein, usually occurring after childbirth. The death register recorded her date of death as 12 June 1884, a one-day difference from the date cited in Anthony's obituary. 

Harriet's son Robert Franklin Walker's 1957 death certificate names his father as Anthony Green Walker and his mother as Harriet Friend. No Missouri marriage has been located for a Harriet "Friend."

Harriet appears in the 1870 Gentry County census as Harriet Bogue with three children of the same surname, presumably a widow. No Missouri marriage has been located for a female "Harriet" and male surname "Bogue." She was probably widowed after 1868.

In the 1870 census, she is enumerated just prior to the Elbert Best and John W. Best families. 

He must be the one called "John" in the census. All of the children's names are off in this census. Possibly used first names for census, when they went by middle names? Poor later transcription by census enumerator? 

Henry "Allhousen," residing with John Spence and Mary (Walker) Spence in the 1860 Macoupin County census, was the son of Susan M. Walker and her first husband Charles N. Ohlhousen. Susan was a known daughter of Samuel A. Walker, who granted permission for her marriage to Ohlhousen as she was underage.

This is a link between Mary Walker, known daughter of John McLean Walker and Susan Walker, known daughter of Samuel A. Walker. Another child of Susan Walker and Charles Ohlhousen, Missouri "Allhousing," married Anthony Green Walker, a known son of Phillip V. Walker and Frances Best.

This links John McLean Walker (believed to be the son of Jacob Walker and Agnes McLean), with Susan Walker (known daughter of Samuel A. Walker), and with the Phillip V. Walker family--Phillip V. descendants sort into our Group 2 DNA group, and is probably the son of Samuel A. or Jacob Walker. 

Henry B. Walker, b abt 1836 Tennessee, enumerated next to him in 1910 census. Quick internet search shows that his wife was Martha P. Webb. Worth further looking.  

Henry B. Walker, b abt 1836 Tennessee, enumerated next to him in 1910 census. Quick internet search shows that his wife was Martha P. Webb. Worth further looking. Possibly a first cousin? son of Samuel or one of the older Walkers? 

Her birth record names her as "Nita Neoma," but the more traditional spelling of that second name would probably be "Naomi." 

Her death certificate names her husband as "M. B. Yates." 

Her father's 1936 obituary names daughter "Mrs. Lucy Luken of Gillespie." 

Her father's bio states that she died "within a year after her marriage to Alexander Sinclair." 

Her father's bio states that she died at age 23. 

Her husband Fred's FindAGrave entry offers a transcription of an obituary for Fred published in Oklahoma. It offers Ruth's maiden name as "Fletcher."

Ruth's own FindAGrave entry names her as "Sadie Ruth Fletcher." 

Her mother's Confederate Widow's Pension application calls her "Sadie." 

Her mother's pension claim form gives her birth as 27 December 1858. However, the affidavit from Elijah Cantrell regarding what was in the family Bible gives the same day and month, year 1857.

She was probably born in Hickman County, where her family was enumerated in 1850 and 1860. 

Her younger brother, Jerry Walker, gave her date of death as 18 July 1990--one day earlier. 

Heycuz entry and other online entries offer Esther Walker's full name as "Lillie Esther Walker." 

Hickman County marriage records prior to 1866 were destroyed in a courthouse fire. The couple was probably married in Hickman County. 

His brother's obituary names him as "Roscoe Wilbur Phipps." 

His death certificate records his birth as 22 August 1871. (Informant his son Clarence Campbell.) The Bible entry, recorded nearer the time of his death is more likely to be correct.

The death certificate also gives his birthplace as Mountain View, (Howell County), Missouri. Unlikely, but possible. 

His family was located in Humphreys County at the time of the 1850 census, near the Dickson County border; by 1860 the county line had moved and the Elijah Walker farm was once more in Dickson County. Jacob may have been born in either county. 

His father's bio states that Daniel Addison died at the age of about 3 years. 

His marriage record names him as "Elias R. Griffith," though his daughter's death certificate names him as "Eligh Griffith." 

His newspaper obituary/funeral notice named son Bill Walker (Stockton), daughter Barbara Lea (Los Gatos) 

His son's death certificate names him as "Ben" Watkins. However, the informant for that certificate was Charles Marshall Watkins' wife Maud. The informant for James Watkins' own 1924 certificate was his son Charles Marshall Watkins.  

History handed down in the family tells us that Ewell Smith was unfaithful to Ida, and after a separation, when Ewell wanted to reconcile with Ida, her brother Neal said something like "If you go back to her after giving her that disease, I'll kill you." While this may not be strictly accurate, it is likely that it is some version of the truth. 

Holden appears to be Bertha's final husband, as she was buried under the name "Holden." 

Howell Freeman's will names his children, but it is not known whether these were also the children of his wife Hannah:
Burwell [Freeman]
William R. [Freeman]
Jeremiah [Freeman]
Polly [Freeman] Burton
Martha [Freeman] Self, "wife of Abraham Self"
Elizabeth [Freeman] Massey, "wife of John Massey"

An online tree indicates that Howell Freeman was married three times and that the above children were the children of first wife Elizabeth (--?--):
Burrell Freeman, b 1780, Franklin Co NC; d between 1847-1859, Lamar Co TX
Polly Freeman, b. 1782
Son Freeman, b 1784
William R. Freeman, b 24 March 1786, Carroll Co TN; d 1871, Pike co IL
Jeremiah Freeman, b. abt 1788
Elizabeth Freeman, b abt 1793
Martha Freeman, b 24 Aug 1797, SC; d aft 1860, Dyer Co TN

This online tree also states that Hannah was Hannah Doty, who married Howell Freeman on 4 March 1830 in Dickson Co. His second wife was Tabitha May
 

Howell Jackson's cemetery marker gives 6 February 1923 for his death, though his obituary stated it as 5 February.

I have also read this stone in person. Photos of the grave are attached with the permission of the poster to FindAGrave. 

I have placed her birth order according to her listing in the 1819 deed naming heirs of Isaac King. It may not be correct. 

I spoke with two of Vera's daughters, Nancy and Laurie. They informed me that their mother (Warren's daughter) had never even known of his first marriage until near the time of her own mother's death. Her mother either did not know or did not tell her that she had three half-siblings from Walter's first marriage. Late in daughter Vera's life she received a call from a Warren researcher (the same one that contacted me). He was not aware that she did not know about Walter's first three children and brought them up. She (Walter's daughter Vera) was shocked and very disturbed. She had been raised as an only child and had never known that she had half-siblings. The three siblings were dead by the time she knew about them. She was unable to reconcile her image of her kind, loving, faithful father, with his desertion of his first family, and his lack of interest in or relationship with the children of that marriage.

After learning of her half-sibilings, Vera realized that she had met Della, his first wife, and Gae/Kathleen, his daughter from that marriage. When she was a very small girl a woman named Della visited them. She had with her a daughter "Kathleen," who lived in Las Vegas. Nancy (Mudge) Coggon said that they learned that KAthleen had wanted to meet her father, and Della took her. Vera, very young, was present at the meeting, but had no idea of who they were--or that the girl was her half-sister.

Walter told his second family that he served in WWI and his granddaughters seemed to believe that his marriage was at least partially a result of that separation. Whereas Della always said that he went to South America and was never heard from again. Clearly, she knew where he was since she took her daughter to meet him.

If the "Maryan Gray" household found in 1840 Floyd County, Kentucky, is indeed Mary Ann "Polly" George, it is likely that she was widowed prior to 1840. Since Alexander was born in 1845, it seems that he was probably her son with Elisha Meadows. Confusing the issue somewhat, his older sister Nancy and Clerissa/Clarisa were enumerated in 1850 with the implied surname of "Meadows," rather than "Gray." 

Illinois Supreme Court case (1898) regarding Jehu Walker, born abourt 1813. Case reporter offers information that he had a brother in Macoupin County named Samuel, a deceased brother named Joseph (husband of the living Barbara Walker of Macoupin County), and a sister named Mary Best, residing in Texas.

Since Mary (Walker) Best is found in the home of Archalaus Walker in 1850 Madison Co IL, and is listed in sequence with children of Jacob and Agnes Walker, it has been assumed that Mary was the daughter of Jacob and Agnes. Additionally, Mary is found in Texas in 1900, and the court case mentions that Mary Best was residing in Texas, but was back in Illinois for a while at the period of the events being discussed (about 1892-1893).

This is indirect evidence that Samuel Walker was the son of Jacob and Agnes Walker. 

In 1900 her mother Cynthia Dryman was enumerated as the mother of 9 children, 8 living. In 1910 she was enumerated as the mother of 10 children, 7 living. There are discrepancies here. The total numbers of children in each case are as we would expect: 9 by 1900 and (with the additional birth of Benjamin in 1901) 10 in 1910.

But which child was already dead by 1900? All nine known children were accounted for. If she had, as is likely, lost a child prior to 1900, then she was the mother of 10 children in 1900.

If, as stated in 1910, she was mother of 10 children and only 7 were living, these were the living: Henderson, John R., Nola, Thomas, Goldie, Frank, and Benjamin. Not located in 1910 are Mary, Claude, and Annie. Did Mary, Claude, and Annie all die between 1900 and 1910? Annie would have been just 12, it is likely that she would be found in her family home, if living. Mary could have married and Claude might not yet have died.

However, the most likely conclusion is that all three of these died between 1900-1910.  

In 1960 Odies O. Walker's wife was listed in the Corpus Christi directory as "Peggy." Same woman or another wife? 

In her 1840 Floyd County census enumeration as head of household, "Maryan Gray" has five children: a son under 5, two daughters under 5, and two daughters between 5-10. She was probably enumerated in 1830 as the female age 20-30 in her mother's household. Children usually came a year or so after marriage and at regular two-year intervals, though some of these could have been born to a previous marriage. It is likely, however, that Polly married soon after 1830.
