Jane: I am extremely interested in all Scot Walkers. My family was quite early, arriving in Baltimore, Maryland by 1748 and receiving a land grant from Lord Baltimore which the family retained until the 1960s. From Baltimore, the Walker descendants spread out to Tennessee, South Carolina, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Texas. These Walkers were really quite enterprising and gifted people. My Walker names were Isaac, Nathan, Benjamin, Ezekial, Hezekiah -- all quite Biblical, and not very Scot. However, I see that your family names, with the exception of Alexander, are not very "Scot." If you discover anything whatsoever, I will be glad to share my information with you. I would love to know who your Alexander's father was.
