Salina Walker

Female 1870 - 1910  (~ 39 years)

Personal Information    |    Notes    |    Sources    |    All    |    PDF

  • Name Salina Walker 
    Born Mar 1870  Illinois, USA Find all individuals with events at this location  [1
    • 1870 Jefferson Co IL census, ennumerated 2 June, Salina is listed as age 2/12.
    Gender Female 
    Died Before 1910  [2, 3
    • The John Wooters who is an inmate on the Jefferson County poor farm in 1910 appears to be the same person as the John Wooters that Salina married. He is enumerated as a widower.
      "Wooters, John, inmate, male, white, 67, widowed, Illinois, U.S., U.S., no occupation, cannot read or write
      Salina probably died in Jefferson County, since they were married there, and John Wooters is still living there.

      A "Wooters-Tate" database on Ancestry.com indicates that Salina died prior to the 1900 enumeration, though I have not been able to find her husband in that enumeration. The same family file states that they had one child, John Merriet Wooters, born about 1890. It is possible that Salina died in childbirth.

    Notes 
    • It seems likely that there was some estrangement between Levi's first family and his second. James Fred "Fred" Walker, a son of his second marriage died in 1958 and his obituary named his living full siblings, stated that he had two sisters that died before him, and even stated that he had two half-brothers who died before him. The two step-brothers referenced must have been Charles and Norman Holmes, the sons of Winnie's first marriage. No mention was made of any of his half-siblings from Levi's first marriage. [5]
