Ah, well then, am glad I threw in the info about the Presbyterians as an after thought. In the MD and PA area the Reformed church congregations were mostly comprised of German-speakers, so was curious/puzzled about English-sounding Walkers and Hudsons buried in a Reformed cemetery from such an early period (although they could have married into the faith, I guess). Anyway, glad it helped. Perhaps they were Scots, not English. Sam On Wed, Oct 26, 2011 at 11:12 PM, Joan Majtenyi <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Sam for the info.

Walker can be a German name. There was also a connection between the early German settlers and Welsh settlers - some intermarriage in my husband's Brantner German Reformed/Lutheran lines.

Yes, I have seen references to them, however I have reason to believe that my Walkers came either from PG and are of either Dorman Walker or Francis Walker line or from AA and the line of Dr. James Walker and his sons John and James.

I have not followed all of this until now.About the late 1700's, the grandchildren of the settlers started to marry outside of their church, religion, and ethic nationalities. I saw this in my Ulsterscots lines with marriages to Lutherans and also Brethrens. Apparently ther blond frauliens were better looking !
