Hi Gang, Maybe someone can help me with this? My Great Grandfather John Thomas Walker was supposedly born in Greenup County Kentucky about May 1860. I haven't proved this yet. I got this information from a cousin. He died in 1937 and is buried in South Shore Kentucky. He married Amanda Jane Smith in the same Greenup County and had 9 children one of whom was my Grandfather Joseph Clarence Walker the others were Emma, Taylor, Margaret, John H., Rachel, Mary, Ella, and Richard D. Now the Walkers in this area were supposedly descended from a Samuel Walker born about 1763 in possibly Hampshire County Virginia, Wife Anna Lawson born April 1769 also in Virginia. According to all the information I have: The Samuel Walker family of Virginia came down the Ohio River on a flatboat in 1812. They stopped at what has since been known as Walker's Landing, near what is Siloam now. Among their children were Hannah, who was born in 1800 in Virginia and married Nathaniel Warner in 1825, James, who married Nancy, one of the seven daughters of Aaron Kinney of Portsmouth, Ohio and who lived on the farm. They built a very modern brick home for that period where they reared four children, William, Samuel, Mary and Peter Kinney. William married Ella, daughter of John T. and Lydia Tanner King. Both William Walker and his wife both died leaving two young children, Roy and May, both of whom went to California. Samuel married Lizzie Bahner and Mary married William Burns and moved to California. Roy and May mentioned above, lived with them for some time. Peter Kinney married Mary Warner and after his death she and her family moved to Louisville. Samuel, a third son, married Anna Lawson. As can be seen from this paragraph from the book, "History of Greenup County Kentucky" by Biggs and Mackoy Samuel a third son married Anna Lawson. If Samuel the father married Anna Lawson how could his third son marry his mother? Anyway one of those conflicting recounts we run into all the time. If anyone can help me with these Walkers I would be forever indebted. Billy Walker
