Perhaps someone has knowledge of the JOHN WALKER family. The court house records burned which does not help the research. John Walker of Cave Twp was reported murdered by a Rodgers man in the Sharp County Record Newspaper July 1881? Was he the same John Walker that married H. E. Murphey April 1880. They were both from Jackson Township. He was 23 and she was 17. Is he the same John Walker as the following census record of 1880. I believe she was listed as both married and widowed. 1880 Sharp Co, Jackson Twp John WALKER M Male W 23 AR Farmer TN AK Ellen WALKER Wife M Female W 16 MS Keeping House MS MS Thomas WALKER Brother S Male W 21 AR Farm Laborer TN AR William WALKER Brother S Male W 18 AR Farm Laborer TN AR Mary WALKER Sister S Female W 15 AR At Home TN AR ROBINSON Other Male W 27 AR Farm Laborer IL IL Is this the same or a different John Walker? February Term Sharp County Probate Court A. D. 1884 lists an H.Z. Hawkins Assignee of Mary Dickey, formerly Mary Walker, widow of John Walker against James P. Jones, Guardian of John Walker and --Gann, minors etc etc etc. A Babe Walker woman did marry a Dickey Dec 1881 but do not have a record of her marrying a John Walker Thank you for any help, and comments and ideas are welcome.
