Surnames: Walker, Colbert Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3AC.2ACE/289.295.2 Message Board Post: I have a Nancy Colbert married Robert Walker in 1809. They had a number of children, including Nancy(m Mr Dowdy 2. John Milllender) , John "Jack", Winifred (m James Burke(s)), Lemuel C (m Martha Lester Patterson), Jane (spinster, livng with mother in 1860 census), Chrsitopher (m Frances Keatts), Robert (m Louisa Mitchell). There is another always near the household of those listed, but he may be related to Robert as either younger brother or son from a previous marriage. His name was Royal Walker. I'd like to find the parents of said Robert Walker m Nancy Colbert 1809 (d/o Lemuel Colbert and Phebe Blankenship). He's a brick wall. I come from Lemuel's son, Thomas Colbert. Lemuel is also a brick wall. While one census of Thomas Colbert lists his parents as being born in England, Phebe was born in Winfall, Campbell Co VA, or perhaps in Chesterfield, before her father, Hudson Blankenship, moved to Campbell Co VA). However, I know she wasn't born in England. I have a hunch that Thomas' father,Lemuel, died very early in the life of Thomas and he may have had no idea where his father was from. But he should have known his mother's family as they weren't far away. Any info on Robert Walker appreciated, if anyone knows! They would have been in northern Pittsylvania Co. VA
