• Notes

  Married: It appears to have been not unusual for couples from Macoupin and Madison County to marry in St. Louis. An Eliza Ann Ward is listed among the congregation of Round Prairie Church, Macoupin County; she joined the church "by letter" on 18 May 1853, and "removed her membership to Dorchester." Joining by letter on the same date were "J. G. Ward" and "Sarah Ward." Additionally, the Illinois death index for John M. Walker states that his parents were Samuel Walker and Eliza Ann Ward. John M. was born 29 May 1858, in Dorchester, Illinois, and died on 19 November 1937 in Montgomery County, Illinois. This is strong evidence that the St. Louis marriage was that of the subject Samuel Walker. [2, 3]
