Looking for any information on an Edward Walker, or the Walkers of this area. Thanks John We have a Margaret (Peggy) Walker born ca 1770's that lived with her husband in Rowan/Wilkes Co. NC before settling in Russell Co. VA in 1811. Family histories have passed 3 different stories down concerning her ancestry. Here are the 3 short possibilities. 1. One story passed down says she was the daughter of Edward Walker who came from Eastern VA. There is an Edward Walker on the Russell Co. tax lists, early 1800's, can't remember which year, but somewhere between 1800-1805 2. That Margaret Walker was "granddaughter" of John Walker, 1705-1778, Irish immigrant, who in 1773 settled on Sinking Creek, lower Castlewood, and, where, in 1778 four members of his family became Indian victims, two killed, two captured. 3. Another biography by a grandson of Margaret Walker states that she was Wilson! His wife (Jacob Blair's) was a native of Scotland and a daughter of General Wilson of Revolutionary celebrity."
