Harriett Walker

1827 - 1855  (28 years)

• Name	Harriett Walker
  Born	29 Jan 1827	Illinois, USA   [1]
  Gender	Female
  Narrative	Despite what the Wannamaker document says, it appears to me that Harriet died the year after her marriage to Evan Williams, possibly in childbirth. An Evan Williams married in 1856, also in Cherokee County--likely the same man in a second marriage. The 1860 census reflects an Evan Williams with a son Evan Williams of the right age.
  Died	11 Apr 1855	Rock Island County, Illinois, USA   [1]
