Dear Owen Co. Listers Thanks to Barbara Guinn for a pleasant introduction to the list. The families I am researching are Walkers (I know there were two families of Walkers in Owen--I am looking at the descendants of Wm Walker who arrived in Owen from Bolton, England abt 1800), descendants of Lewis Vallandingham, descendants of Absolom Bainbridge, descendants of William Sparks, anybody named Peel, and descendants of Asa Porter Grover (who moved to Georgetown in 1881). After James M. Walker was murdered in front of the Owenton court house in 1874, his brothers fled the State, rather than die of "witness disease." Benjamin Walker returned, but the rest never went back. Would really like to know what happened to the missing brothers--Henry (W.H.) Farmer, and Charles. Tom
