Notes:

Notes on parents:

Named in Walker Family (Ancestry) as J. A. England, born abt 1850 Dickson Co and wife Frances Winstead. Marriage date given as 1868. No sources.

Named in "Hay Family and Beyond" (Ancestry) as James Monroe Walker, born abt 1840 Robertson TN, and wife Elizabeth J. Warren, b abt 1836 Robertson Co TN. In 1880 this family is found in Fannin Co TX with a daughter age 11, "N. R. England." The family is found in 1870 Robertson Co TN with daughter age 1, "Nancy R." Both James Monroe Walker and Elizabeth J. Warren died in Texas. If this is the right Nanny, how did she meet Calvin and when did she travel back to Dickson County?

Further complicating the issue, Nannie's death cert names her as "Nannie Lane Walker" and for parents offers on the father's surname, as "Lane." Informant was duaghter Dimple (Walker) Hooper.

Additionally, Stephen Walker (descendant of Calvin through Samuel S and Billy) states that his father always said that Nannie's surname was "Weaver."

Died:

Nannie appeared in the 1920 census with her husband, but in 1930 he was enumerated as a widower.

Her descendant, Stephen Walker (through son Scott), says that she died in 1927 at her daughter Clara's house.

Her apparent death certificate in 1927 is confusing, naming her as "Nannie Lane Walker" and naming her father as "-- Lane."

Nannie married Calvin Monroe Walker on 26 Mar 1891 in Dickson County, Tennessee, USA. Calvin (son of Elijah Walker and Mary "Polly" McMillan) was born on 22 Mar 1848 in Humphreys County, Tennessee, USA; died on 7 Sep 1930 in 3811 Elkins Ave., Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee, USA; was buried in Fielder Cemetery, Dickson County, Tennessee, USA.
