Personal Information    |    Media    |    Notes    |    Sources    |    All    |    PDF

  • Name Aaron Walker  [1] 
    Suffix [Possible Son] 
    Born Abt 1819  Kentucky, USA Find all individuals with events at this location  [2] 
    • While most of the children of Jacob Walker and Agnes McLean were born in Tennessee, the son that would have been nearest in age to Aaron (if Aaron is indeed a child of Jacob), Archalus C. (born about 1818) also often reported a birthplace of Kentucky. If Aaron proves to be a son, the Jacob and Agnes are likely to have moved to Kentucky briefly, from about 1817-1819, reappearing in Dickson County, Tennessee, in time for the 1820 census enumeration.
