James WALKER

____ - 1817

Repository ID Number: I1911

RESIDENCE: Madison Co., AL
DEATH: 1817, Madison Co., AL
RESOURCES: See: ^[S100] ^[S204] ^[S66] ^[S493] ^[S549] ^[S533]

Family 1 : Margaret "Peggy"

Notes

Madison Co., AL Wills: James Walker of Madison Co., Dec. 1817, Wife Margaret died before 1831. Will to wife Peggy, four children who live with him, Robert, James, Anna Walker now Anna Harrison, her children to come in as one of the legatees with Robert, James, Samuel, John & Peggy. Wit: John Buckner, Boldwin Howard, David Evine. 27 Feb 1817

Information, including portions of the will of James Walker (Probate Record 3, page 95, probated June 14, 1817), is in Vols. 133, 153 and 179 of Pauline Jones Gandrud's "Alabama Records." Several of the marriages were found in a compiled record, "Alabama Marriages: Early to 1825" by Liahona Research, Inc., 1990. In Vols. 153 and 179 Mrs. Gandrud states that James Walker's sons William and John moved in approx. 1842 to Ouachita Co., AR; in Vol. 179 she states that Robert disappears from the records; that Samuel and James died in Madison Co.; that Anna Walker Harrison "left the state"; and that Peggy Walker Coffman moved to Limestone Co.

Charlie Harrison writes: "There is a pretty extensive section on the James Walker family [Mattie Papers], including a copy of his will. In an interview which Mattie had with her Uncle John Thomas Harrison, John states that "Benjamin Harrison and his wife Anna Walker (his grandfather and grandmother) lived in Alabama, but he (Benjamin) was from Virginia. On the Harrison Repository, I have found a Benjamin Harrison (11490) who seems to match all the information I have, EXCEPT, Mattie says her gggf was a Benjamin Sr., not John, as is listed in the Repository. I have nothing to support either John. Thomas also states that he can't remember his grandmother's father's given name (James Walker), but that he came from Ireland and was a weaver by trade. Naretta told her daughter (Mattie) that her mother-in-law, Anna Walker Harrison, was Irish and very pretty. This may explain why you have not been able to uncover other information on the Walkers, if they were immigrants. If James Walker was a weaver, he must also have found time to be rather deeply engaged in the art of whiskey making as he left the still and tubs to his wife, Peggy in his will dated 2-27-1817." More to come on this family!

James of Madison Co. may be somehow related to James and Fannie of Jefferson Co., TN. ^[S533] ^[S757]
