Always glad to see these. For the record, I'm distantly related at best, but Billie, according to my records at least, is: Billie Martin Walker, born 8 October 1928, died 16 September 2004, married, as best I know, Mavis Harmon (born about 1930), someone named Sue (born about 1945), someone named Thelma (born about 1935) and then Beverly Humphrey as named in the obit, born about 1940. The only children I know are by Thelma, which include Terry, David, Billie Jr., Gaye, Joseph, and Kaye; I do not know the other children in the obit. Billie was a son of Bascum Baldwin Walker (born 8 April 1879, Hancock County, Tennessee, died 17 July 1953, Steedman, Callaway County, Missouri) and Pearlie Emiline Mannon (born 18 March 1889, Hancock County, died 17 September 1976, Columbia, Boone County, Missouri). Pearlie, as best I know, was the daughter of Catherine Elizabeth Mannon and Joseph Thomas. Bascum Balwin Walker was the son of William Walker (born ca. 1851 probably in Hancock County, died about 1895 of a suspected poisoning) and Rebecca Ann Baker (born 17 March 1849 in Claiborne County, died 11 August 1916 in Hancock County). Rebecca Ann Baker was the daughter of Thomas R. Baker (born ca. 1814, died before 1870) and Lucinda Campbell (born ca. 1822, died after 1 June 1880). William Walker was the son of Edward Walker, Jr., (born 7 September 1795, Sullivan County, died 9 April 1860, near Mulberry Gap, Hancock County) and Sara Crumley (born 28 September 1813, probably Mulberry Gap, Claiborne now Hancock County, died 11 January 1898, Newport, Cocke County, Tennessee). Lucinda Campbell's parents were apparently Jacob Campbell (born ca. 1800, died ca. 1880 in Collin County, Texas), and Temperance Rice (born ca. 1800, died after 1880 in Collin County, Texas). Edward Walker, Jr., was the son of Edward B. Walker (born 1756, North Carolina, died 26 August 1838 near Mulberry Gap, Claiborne now Hancock County, Tennessee) and Jane Horn (born about 1772, died between 26 January 1845 - 24 August 1854, probably near Mulberry Gap.)
