Looking to share information on Anderson Hall WALKER, born September 8,1801, and descendents. Donald Oden

Donald, I have Walkers in Obion, but I don't think they were there before 1844. However, I have learned never to say never. <g> The following information was generously shared with me by Bert Smith. Robert and Jincy Walker are my 3rd great grandparents on my mother's side, through their son James B. Walker and his son Waller Bright Walker. Karen Moore Waugh Tampa, FL Notes: Robert & Jincey Walker came to Obion County from Floyd County, Indiana between 1840 & 1850. They were followed by their oldest son, James B. Walker, who purchased his first farm in Obion County in May, 1851 for $820.00. Robert, Jincey, and their youngest son, William Joseph all died in the middle of January, 1867 from an unknown cause. James B. Walker was a prominent farmer and land owner around Troy and Obion. He served as Sheriff of Obion County during the 1860's. Buried at Campground Cemetery in Troy, TN are: Crawford B.

Smith ( who was adopted by a Smith family and maybe was named Chestley Coleston from Waverly, TN) The Walkers came from Crothersville and Scottlbury, Indiana supposedly 80 miles north of Louisville. All the Walker children stayed in Indiana except James B. James B. & Selena Jane married in Indiana. Selena had a sister named Susan Westmoreland (1848-1936) who married Preston Rider. The Westmorelands came from South Carolina and Virginia. Another name for Jincey was maybe Jane. Robert, Jincey, and James B. were born in Kentucky. Selena was born in South Carolina. James B. owned 2 farms; the first was near the G. B. Allen farm, and the second was in the Wolverine Community. There is a J. Knox Walker who may fit into all this who was in the 2nd Tenn Vol Inf Reg from May, 1861 to May 1862.
