(notes from Dale Kiser)

George Walker was Rector of Donaghmore County and was Gov. of Londonderry, Ireland and was the designate Dean of St. Columb's Cathederal. He was killed in the battle of Boyne in 1690 while acting as Col. of the Derry and Inniskillen Regiments. His bones, or rather a collection of bones said to be his, were interred at Donaghmore Church, Ireland.

There is a high monument which was erected on the walls of Londonderry in honor of Governor George Walker who held the place against the Seige of James II in 1689.

There is a tablet erected in St. Michael's Church, Castle Caufield, County Tyrone, near Donaghomre, Ireland in honor of George Walker. The Latin inscription on the tablet says (in free translation): Reader, near this place are laid the bones of Reverend George Walker S.T.D. formerly Rector of this Parish. He, by whose vigliance and courage the City of Londonderry was delivered from the enemies of William III and in Faith in the year 1689 fell dead at th ebanks of the river Boyne for the same cause against the same enemies in the year 1690. His lamenting widow Isabella Walker placed this monument to his remains and memory in the year 1703. But his fame will be more lasting than the stone, nor will future ages wonder less than the present at so godly a soldier and so brave a priest.
