Joseph Walker

Other Events:

• Parents:
  Supporting Jacob Walker and Agnes McLean as his parents:

  Elijah, Retha, Mary "Polly," Elizabeth, and George H. were known siblings born in Georgia and all found in Dickson County, Tennessee in 1820

  George H. and Jacob were co-administrators of Elizabeth Walker's estate in 1823

  When Elizabeth Walker deeded slaves to Elijah and George H respectively, Archalus Walker came from Illinois to contest the deed, and won the suit

  The above, when taken as a whole, support the sibling relationship of Jacob and Archalus to the known other five siblings

  Joseph named a son Archalus and a daughter "Wreathea" (probably a form of Retha)

  Mary (Walker) Best is found in the 1850 household of Archalaus Walker, listed behind Jacob and Agnes, also living with Archalaus

  The Jehu Walker lawsuit names his siblings as Joseph Walker (making it clear that it is the Joseph married to Barbara), Samuel Walker, and Mary Best (who is specified as residing in Texas, identifying her clearly)

  Though many people think that Joseph and Mary (Walker) Best were the children of a Samuel A. Walker, it seems more than possible that they were the children of Jacob and Agnes McLean

  In conclusion, more research is necessary

Notes:

The 1938 death certificate of Joseph's namesake son, Joseph Walker (born 1851) states that his father was born in Virginia. While census data contradicts this, it may be an indication general family knowledge--that Joseph's father was born in Virginia.

Joseph married Barbara Weincil about 1849 in Illinois, USA. Barbara was born about 1823 in Germany; died in 1910; was buried in Wayne Cemetery, Dorchester, Macoupin County, Illinois, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
