Hi List Members: I'm new to the list so before subscribing I reviewed the list archives for the names of the Kanawha Counties for whom I am searching. Alas, no one posted any information that was quite what I was looking for but this looks like a list where people like to share info, so here I am! My husband's family hails from Kanawha Co., WV. His grandfather was Lewis Edward Walker. My husband's father died when my husband was a 12-year old so our information is extremely limited. However, we know the following: Lewis Edward Walker can be found with his family in the 1900 Kanawha Co. Census in Charleston District. His bd info is given as Mar 1867, WV. His wife, Della, b Jul 1872, WV. The children present in 1900 are Helen M. b Jul 1892, Mary A. b Jan 1898, Susan O. b Mar 1900. At least two other children were born following the census: Edward Lewis b 7 May 1904, and an unknown female. We also know from the family that Della died before 1910 and the children were raised by their uncle and aunt, Philip and Lillie Walker. They are nearby Lewis in the 1900 census. Based on the obituary for Edward Lewis Walker d 16 Aug 1952 in S. Charleston, Kanawha Co., WV we believe his mother's maiden name to be Frudella Mutter. However, no marriage record has been found. We know from a letter written by Mary A. Walker, dau of Lewis Edward Walker, that the name Wintz occurs in the family. With this information, I have been looking at the Alexander Walker family that also appears in the 1900 Kanawha Co., WV census. The Alexander Walker household in Malden District has a Susan Wintz residing in the household. In a search of the list archives I found that Alexander's wife was named Ann Wintz. I am awaiting the 1880 census so that I can place Lewis Edward Walker in the Alexander Walker household. In the interim, does anyone on this list want to "claim" my husband's family as being part of their own? I see that several of you have Walker info, or Walker relatives. Kathleen Casson Walker P.S. In the transcript that I have of the 1860 Kanawha Co. Census there is an 11-year old boy named Edward Harmon who was living with Alexander Walker & family. Could this indicate that "my" potential Walker family is related to the Parkin? lineage that was posted on this list in 1999? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
