Thanks Teresa and Lana for your help with the Petersons and Devors. While they are not my direct line, I am still looking for clues to what happened to all the children of Alexander and Mary Walker of Malin, County Donegal Ireland who moved from Chester County to what is now Metal Twp in Franklin. Alexander Walker (c1700-1775) and wife Mary (c1710-1774) had sons James, Samuel, John, Robert, and David. Of these, John died c1815 and David d 1824 in Dublin Twp, now Huntingdon Co. As David Peterson and Hannah Bair of Dublin Twp named a son Samuel Walker Peterson (b 26 Aug 1850) I feel there may be a connection. Hannah Bair was the daughter of Samuel Bair (of the Lancaster County Bairs) and his wife Margaret Steel (sometimes spelled in the German Stahl) so they are probably not the right side of the family to look for the Walker connection, but the Petersons MAY be. Note - A Ralph Lee who d c1774 Fannett Twp left a legacy to David Peterson of Cecil County MD. There are also Devor/Deavor families including a Jesse Devor in this area of MD in the mid 1700's. Has anyone traced the Petersons and/or the Devors to MD?
