I have the 1850 Rutherford County census (Polk county was not formed until 1855) It lists two Lankford families, but neither has a John Walker or either one of these names. The two families are: Nathan and Elizabeth who were 60 and 48 in 1850, with children Elizabeth, Tibby, Robert, Narcissa, Lettia, Manurvia, Columbus, Martin, Nathan, Elizabeth, Harvy, and Mary. the other family is William and Nancy, aged 43 and 35. Children Nancy, Margarett, Curtis, Milly, Lucinda, and Robert. Both families were born in North Carolina and both were living in the Polk district. Maybe this can give you some leads.
