My WALKER gg grandparents were John Alexander WALKER b. 1823 and Frances Adaline BOYD b. 1825. J.A. was the son of Charles WALKER and Sarah ESTES. Charles is probably (I haven't seen proof) the son of Adam WALKER and Priscilla TERRY. J.A. was first married to Elizabeth HARDEN/IN and they had two sons, both of whom died in the Civil War. Two of his sisters are reported to have married HARDENs but I have nothing on any of these. F.A. is the daughter of John BOYD and Susan LOWREY. About 1848 the J.A. WALKER and John BOYD families (along with at least one of J.A.'s sisters) left SC. The WALKERs were in Monroe Co., AL in May 1849 when my g grandmother, Mary Adaline "Dolly" WALKER was born. They were all in Leake Co., MS by the 1850 census, along with the John Marshall GILL (m. 1st cousin, Margaret Clemenza WALLACE), Peter MARION (m. Margaret GILL, J.M.'s sister), and William Lynn WALLACE (m. Elizabeth LOVE) families. J.M. GILL, M.C. WALLACE and Margaret GILL were all grandchildren of Thomas WALLACE and Margaret LYNN and all were my gg grandparents. W. L. was son of Thomas and Margaret and uncle to the three. All were from Chester Dist. SC - most born there. Many are buried in Leake Co., MS and others moved on to Acadia, Vermilion, and/or Jeff. Davis Parishes in LA around the turn of the century. Wallace, it sounds as though we do connect. The fact that you have the first name of Wallace and are in New Orleans is also interesting since so many of my lines go back to Thomas and Margaret (LYNN) WALLACE of Chester and I still have cousins in the N. O. area. Am also sending this to the list since WALKER and BOYD are the names I have had most responses on. Maybe we will both find other connections - and more information!
