This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: WALKER Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4U.2ADI/1415.3.2.1 Message Board Post: Kim, first of all, the WALKER CEMETERY is online, as inventoried by Vera {LANE} REEVES, copyright 2002. You can find the link through the Baxter County site. Your earliest known progenitor in Baxter County appears to be: Jesse "Jessie" WALKER, b. abt. 1826, TN, d. abt. 1900; m. Melissa B. {unknown}, b. buried in Walker Cemetery (above). [known] Children of Jesse & Melissa: 1) Robert F. "R. F." WALKER, b. abt. 1850, TN, d. 20 June 1929 (in 1920C Pigeon Township, Baxter County, AR) m. 1) Nancy C. {unknown}, 2) Nancy J. KIRKLAND in Baxter County, AR on 13 November 1900. (see Walker Cemetery); 2) Polk WALKER, b. 2 December 1854, AL, m. abt. 1877 to Jennie A. REED. (see 1880C, p. 239D, Mountain Home, Baxter County, AR) (see Walker Cemetery); their children (1) Genevrie WALKER, b. abt. 1878, AR; and, (2) Virgil WALKER, b. 22 January 1880, AR (3 mos. of age in 1880C), d. August 1966 (see Walker Cemetery), m. Eula SORRELLS in Baxter County, AR in December 1905; 3) Russell P. "R. P." WALKER, b. abt. 1860, AR, d. abt. 1932, m. Lou {unknown} (see Walker Cemetery). I have no further information on the above WALKER family. I do not have knowledge of any relationship to this family -- but have interest in other WALKERs in the area. Sometimes you have to document those you are not "connected" to, in order to sort the families to aid in the "process of elimination." Peggy {King} Truesdell Tulsa, Oklahoma
