Dear Lin; I'm pretty sure your James Walker was from Virginia prior to North Carolina. I've got two files of Walker information since I've also been trying to pinpoint the James Walker who was the father of my William Daley/Daly Walker who was in Wilkes and Surry Counties. I'm pretty sure where my James eventually leads; it's filling in the gaps in the chain that's the problem. I also have Berry family data. That family was in the family history of a friend of mine whose history I researched and compiled for him just a few months ago. As I told Ben, though, I'll have to dig the appropriate "stuff" out of the files tomorrow. The Walker files are thick. I've been chasing that family around far longer than I care to think about. For a long time I didn't know who my William Daley Walker's father was because his oldest son was always referred to in the family by his middle name. I knew he had married a Fortner in Kentucky, so I initially kept looking for all the Walkers with a combination of Kentucky and North Carolina connections which typically led back to Virginia. So, by the time I figured out the full name of my William Daley Walker's oldest son, and thus his father's name, I had a lot of "extra" Walker materials, far more than I'd like to think about at the moment. I'll go through it tomorrow. Expect a long e-mail... Cecilia L.

They lived in the part of Orange Co NC that in 1777 became Caswell Co NC, and their home was on Moon's Creek. Looking for a James WALKER who had a wife named Ann and who died intestate in 1802 in Caswell Co NC, whilst in the middle of a lawsuit to eject one Lewis PIKE from some land that straddled the border between Caswell Co NC and Rockingham Co NC. This James WALKER may have been a brother of a Samuel WALKER who had a wife named Eleanor and who died testate in 1798 in Caswell Co NC. James WALKER owned this Moon's Creek land before 1777, when it was in Orange Co NC. He is probably the father of the Revolutionary War pensioner James WALKER (1755-c1837), a nomad who ended up in Adams Co OH. Would love to "place" this patriarch James WALKER!
