James's Oregon Donation Lands file offers year of birth 1827 and place "Dixon" County, Tennessee. 

Jane Walker has no known cemetery marker, either with her first husband William E. "Bud" Walker at Moffitt Cemetery in Howell County or with her second husband Henry Dryman at Hutton Valley Cemetery, also in Howell County. 

Jane was mistakenly recorded as the male "James Walker" in John McLean Walker's household, 1850 Macoupin County, Illinois. She was correctly recorded as "Jane Walker" in his 1870 Macoupin County household.  

Jenny appears with her family in the 1910 census, but in 1920 her husband Cloyd's marital status is "widowed." If the FindAGrave death date is correct, she should have a death certificate, but none has been located. Not everyone was in compliance with the new laws at this early date. 

Jerry Dale Lewis's book states his death was in 1770. 

Jesse's cemetery stone offers a date of 25 December 1820.

John Best is found living in the home with Britty's likely father, Steven/Stephen Sawyer, but with no wife present. Four-year-old John Best, also found in the 1850 census, appears with his father in the 1860 census, supporting these conclusions--and rendering it likely that 7-year-old Margret Best in the 1850 census was also the child of John Best and his first wife, Britty Sawyer.

In 1851, John Best married Sophia Sawyer.  

John C. Patty's affidavit for marriage license application was dated 4 June 1897. 

John died in Lockwood township, Dade County the following year, and it is likely that he was living in Dade County in 1910. However, he and his wife have not been located there--or elsewhere in this census. 

John E. Hartley Bible is in light ink but appears to give her birth as 6 October 1813, while her stone at Hopkins Cemetery in Polk County gives the date as 9 October 1813.

John L. Walker married Mrs. Lavina Walker on this date. In the 1860 Macoupin Co census, a John S. Walker married to Lavina was living just two households away from John L. Walker married to Elizabeth Scroggins. Who is the John S. Walker? 

John Lasater's death certificate indicates his birth in Tennessee. However, his census data consistently places his birth in Missouri and it is likely that this was an error on the part of the informant (name illegible), who probably knew that his family came from Tennessee.

John's name comes from the bio of his father naming him as their oldest child. 

Josephine H. Jones numbered genealogy indicates that Mary Huntington Walker and her husband John Yeary raised Josephine and Maude Walker, the children of James Charles Wilson Walker and his wife Maude Oliver. The genealogy states that they raised the girls because they were "babies when their mother died."

This fits with the death date found on the Nichols Family Tree (Ancestry.com), that Maude died on 19 April 1902. 

Josephine H. Jones numbered genealogy lists her as "Mariah Louisa Walker. 

Josephine H. Jones numbered genealogy lists Mariah Louisa Walker's death date as 24 December 1859. However, she is listed with her family in the 1860 census, Maria L., age 17.

Might the death date be 24 December1860? 

Josephine H. Jones numbered genealogy names her as "Mary Huntington Walker." 

Josephine is named in her mother's obituary as "Mrs. Duane J. Hurley" of Los Angeles. Duane J. Hurley may have died, but given the number of divorces in this family, it is more likely that the marriage ended in divorce.

Judge Elijah Walker of the Hickman County Walkers was born in Rockingham, NC. His family moved to Hickman County about 3 years later. About 1849 he was made a judge of his circuit and moved to Savannah, Hardin county, to be more central. He was married to a woman named "Mary E.", who survived him and moved to Maury County. He died on 31 December 1873.

The parallels with "our" Elijah are obvious:

• Our Elijah was born abt 1802 GA; he was born abt 1809 NC.
  
• Our Elijah married (second) a woman named Mary ("Polly"); the other married a woman named Mary
  
• Our Elijah died in 1872 leaving a widow, Mary Walker; the other died in 1873 leaving a widow, Mary Walker.

The differences are equally striking:

• Our Elijah was not a learned man, while the other was a judge
  
• Our Elijah bore about 16 children; the other was childless
  
• Our Elijah was not a wealthy man; the other was probably quite comfortable. Regardless of these differences, the similarities are enough to confuse their identities in some cases.
  A biography of Judge Elijah Walker can be found on GoogleBooks, in Eleventh Annual Meeting of the Bar Association of Tennessee held at Four Seasons Hotel, Harrowgate, Tennessee(Nashville, Tn.: Marshall & Bruce, Stationers and Printers, 1892), 113-121.
  
   

Killed in a car accident in the small hours of January 1--probably a New Year's Eve wreck? 

Kingsport is at the intersection of three counties: Hawkins, Sullivan, and Washington. 

Kit is in the name "Gerald Hartley." 

Known siblings were all born in South Carolina or Georgia. 

Kostick gives the same day and month, but 1899 for year. 

Kostick offered a death date of 11 April 1922. 

Lance was just 20 and Cora just 15 at the time of their marriage. Lance had the consent of his father and Cora of her guardian, illegible name, appears to be David Hicks, her maternal grandfather. 

Larkin Allen's marriage filing names his parents as John and Elizabeth Allen.
