Al Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Al/Etowah/668 Surname: walker ------------------------- when robert and dollie jane bedford walker married, some man named adam edgar gave them two slaves. the reason being was for "natural affection". does this not tend to lead us to the probability that the name adam edgar could have been robert walker's father's name? has anyone searched this? this was in columbia south carolina circa 1800.
