Elizabeth Walker b. Abt 1790 d. 23 Oct 1834 Bond County, Illinois, USA: Our Family History

Abt 1790 - 1834 (~ 44 years)

Name	Elizabeth Walker [1, 2]
Born	Abt 1790 [2, 3]
	Elizabeth was born in either Georgia or Tennessee. The record in her children's census data predominantly indicates "Tennessee." However, it should be remembered that Elizabeth died in 1835, leaving children from ages 24 down to a newborn infant. Many of the older children did not survive to the time of the 1880 census, which was the first to offer information on the birthplace of parents. The younger children, who really never knew their mother, may have been more confused on the point of her birth. Of more value, perhaps, is evidence of the birthplace of her sister, Mary "Polly" (Walker) Hartley, also born about 1790. (It is not known if they were twins, or just very close in age.) Polly's own enumeration in 1850 and 1860 Dickson County states her birthplace as "Georgia." Additionally, the census data of her children Allen, Jackson, Retha, and John in the 1880 census all stated their mother's birthplace as "Georgia." Retha and John were enumerated in 1900, indicating their mother's birth in Georgia. Retha alone survived to the 1910 census, and in that one census, her mother's birthplace is given as "Tennessee." John E. Hartley's biography in Goodspeed states "John E. Hartley, President of the Stockton Exchange Bank of Stockton, Mo., was born in Dickson County, Tenn., on the 13th of February, 1821, his parents being James and Elizabeth (Walker) Hartley, who were born near Augusta, Ga., and in Tennessee in 1780 and 1790, and died in Cedar county, Mo., and Bond County, Ill. in 1835 and 1855, respectively." While it is a confusing sentence, it probably intended to convey that James Hartley was born in Georgia and Elizabeth (Walker) Hartley in Tennessee. It is likely that Elizabeth was, however, born in Georgia, as her sister born around the same time was, and her younger siblings, George and Elijah were born in Georgia.

Missing Census	1830
	The Hartley family moved to Bond County, Illinois, from Dickson County, about 1831, according to the biography of their son, James E. Hartley (Goodspeed). They may have left Dickson County by the time the census was taken, as they have not been located in its census, nor in the Bond County, Illinois, census. However, James and Elizabeth's eldest daughter, Luvina, and her husband Richard Tatum, are found in the 1830 Bond County enumeration: Richard Tatum household 1 male under 5 [James Tatum, abt 3] 1 male 20-30 [Richard Tatum] 1 female 15-20 [Luvina (Walker) Tatum, abt 19] On the previous page several Dickson County surnames can be found, although no connection has yet been made: Burrell Etherage David Hunter James Hunter James B.

	James and Elizabeth (Walker) Hartley moved their family from Dickson County to Bond County. Biography of their son John E. Hartley states they moved to Bond County, Illinois, in 1831. Son Thomas J. Hartley was born in Tennessee in May 1830. Son Henry Kindall Hartley was born in Illinois in March 1833.
Died	23 Oct 1834	Bond County, Illinois, USA [5, 13]
	The date of Elizabeth Hartley's death comes from the family Bible. The place, Bond County, Illinois, is supported by: The biography of her son, John E. Hartley, which states that the family moved to Bond County from Dickson County in 1831; and that the family moved on to Polk County, Missouri, in 1837. Elizabeth (Walker) Hartley clearly died of childbirth since her last child, William Carroll Hartley was born on 23 October 1834, and she died on the same date. William Carroll Hartley was consistently enumerated in census with a birthplace of Illinois. Oral history among the Hartley descendants.

Notes

The Cumberland Presbyterian Church was founded in Dickson County, Tennessee in 1810. In 1823 a branch of the church was established in Bond Co IL (Mt. Giiead Cumberland Church).

Rev. McAdow was one of the Dickson County founders of the church. He lived in Dickson Co from at least 1810-1815, then moved to Jackson Co TN. In the fall of 1828, however, he moved to Bond Co IL. Could his presence, and that of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, have been part of the inspiration for the move of Richard and Levina (Hartley) Tatom and James and Elizabeth (Walker) Hartley from Dickson Co to Bond Co?

Additionally, Rev. McAdow and several others of the Cumberland Presbyterian movement came from Orange Co NC and environs. Richard Tatom's family were also from that area. Possible relationship there?
