Hi
I am a new member to this list and this seemed like a good time to jump
in.
Researching Walker, McLean, Robinson from Dickson Co Tn. Most of them
moved westward in the early 1830?s settling in Macoupin Co TN.
Interesting in finding any families related still in TN.
GGGG Grandmother Elizabeth Walker in Dickson Co early 1800?s with
several children.
GGG Grandfather Jacob Walker married to Agnes McLean in Dickson Co, his
brother, Archelaus Walker married to Susan Robinson not sure where
exactly.
Jacob and Agnes McLean Walker children born in TN as follows:
Phillip 1812, John M 1814, James H 1818, Archelaus C 1820 (KY or TN)
GG Grandfather Jacob 1822 Dickson TN, Mary M 1824, Joseph 1826, several
others all born in Illinois. Any help is appreciated.
