Hi, this stuff will drive us crazy, but what the heck. I know the Walton were Quakers, but Nathaniel got thrown out and became a Baptist. So that leads to wonder, was Boaz a Quaker or a Baptist. And we also know that some Waltons married some Gilberts, and Gilberts married into McDaniels. But the Gilberts that married Walton, were not from Nathaniel, but his brother, Daniel married Mary Lamb and they were Quakers and their children; Samuel, Daniel, Joshua, Joseph, Benjamin, born 1693, married Rebecca Homer, and their children; 1.Elizabeth married 1st Bryan Peart, 2nd Benjamin Gilbert, 3. Daniel, born 1728, married Sarah Gilbert,d/o Benjamin 7. Benjamin married Abigial Gilbert, sister to Sarah, wife of Daniel But the Waltons of Stroudsburg branch were from Thomas, the second of the Walton Brothers. Now I go to check McDaniel and wouldn't know some of them changed their name to McDonald.

He applied 1833 having lived there since 1816. In 1857 it was stated that soldier had been dead 10 or 15 years So that has to mean there was another branch of Walton, since William Walton (Stroudsburgh) was born in Moreland Co, Montogmery Co.
