I'm curious to know how you determined that this Rev. John Waller James, Rector of Christ Church, PA is a brother of George James, attorney in Zanesville, OH. According to this link, John Waller James was visiting his relatives, family living in Huntingdon, PA where he got sick and died in 1836. George James' family is from Virginia, the Fredericksburg area, not Pennsylvania. It appears George James and his parents ended up in Zanesville, Ohio by way of migrating through Kentucky. Also, where did you find the info that ties the name Wallor and Walton together as being one and the same name/family? The Walton name I'm pursuing clearly runs through George's wife Rebecca and her Walton family in VA. Unless this James family of VA (George's family) and Rebecca's Walton (or Wallor) family intermarried at some point prior to them meeting/marrying, the Wallor name cited here appears to run back through a James family. This may be George James' family, or maybe not (the surname "James" is probably fairly common), not from Rebecca's Walton family side. Of course, maybe George and Rebecca were cousins, which sounds strange nowadays but wasn't all that uncommon for cousins to marry back then. In any case, this is all rather confusing so I need to sort it all out, making sure to stay focused on Rebecca's Walton family of VA. I need to get back to Rebecca's Walton parents and see who all is connected to that family in VA (and where they may have come from prior to that). Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
