Shirley: I'm not leaving until late afternoon. Too many errands came up. I'll be checking the computer on and off this afternoon. My L. Rebecca Walker was born 8 Nov. 1844. That is the date on her tombstone. Does that eliminate her? If it does, could she be a niece of John Calvin Walker's? This SO close. Was John Calvin Walker in McDonald Co., MO in 1860 or 1850. I spend one long day at the National Archives branch in Ft. Worth looking among a jillion John Walkers for him with no luck. Living with Granvil and Rebecca (Walker) Nevill in Titus Co., TX in 1870 was a 16 year old girl named Nancy Ward. She also went to Scott Co., with them and married a Finch over is Sebastian Co. Does Nancy Ward ring a bell [yes, I have considered the Ward-Walker Indian conection but nothing has ever turned up. Oh, I have a picture of Rebecca Walker Nevill..... she was a lantern jawed lass!! Any big jaws among your Walkers? I had always heard it referred to as the "Duncan" look. The Duncan's had big jaws alright, but their children did not stand a chance after they married into the Walker-Nevill line!! I'm headed on up to Arkansas probably on Monday. Where is John Calvin Walker buried? And do you know where the cemetery is located? Kathy ------------------------------
