Hayes, Here is additional information about James Walker's children and who they married. I also have information on the Coffman family that I can send to you. The Coffmans were in Jefferson Co., TN before they were in Alabama. I am copying this message to Ann Storer, who may be able to tell you more about David Canon/Cannon. Could you tell me more about the family of Seaborn Jones? I have two Jones sisters in the list below, Martha and Temperance, who married Walker brothers, but I have no information about their family. Seaborn Jones was also at the sale of James Walker's estate in 1824.
