He was the son of whom? This was your McWhirter line. Too, Mary. My wiffe and I were on the way to Mississippi last week and leaving Tuscaloosa, decided to go up to Eldridge. Fortunately we found two Walkers at the Orphanage there (managing) and were promised whatever infor they had, to follow, I hope? They also directed us to the Hopewell Cemetery and I cannot believe we found it. A lovely site though and many Walkers adn McWhirters there (think I am right about the latter---had not looked at this file before turning up that road?). Know there were some Tuckers there. Did not find anythiung that you had not given me but glad we visited the site---always gives you a closer feeling. I want to add some comments to my FTM Thad Walker program, and include there the Thad family mentioned above. Can you tell me his parents? Too Mary, what about the birth in Tennessee of some of the first Thad's children. Do you have any idea where in Tennessee? They left Rutherford Co. after 1810 and first (?) record of them in Marion Co. was in 1830s in the legislature. Do you know where the family was in 1820 and 1830 census? Best regards Marshall
