Vita; There is a mention of Mr. Walker in "Fermoy to 1840", by Niall Brunicardi. 1978. Page 90 "at a meeting of the parishoners of Fermoy, convened after Divine Service on Whit Sunday, the 6th June, 1802, the Rev. Wm. Adair in the chair, John Anderson, chief proprietor and impropriator of the tithes of said parish, reported at the meeting that, having nominated the Rev. Wm. Adair, A.M. to the curacy of said parish, with a fixed salary........." These minutes go on to record Anderson's offer, gratis, of enough ground for the purpose of building a new church. A committee, of Mr. Anderson, Mr. Walker, Mr. Abbott, Mr. Arthur Baylor and the chairman, selected a site north of the bridge, on ground in the occupation of Mr. Baylor." ========== Note: Baylor would be an extended relation of mine - by marriage to a Murray. He was a nurseryman, who had an orchard at the spot he donated where the present-day church is stands. I checked the 1642 depositions - no Walkers. Page 92 In 1816, when Anderson hit the bottom, shall we say, your Thomas Walker, Esq., was apparently among the members of the public to whom Anderson owed money.
