The Walker Family of Shelbyville, Indiana

Ancestors of Maybelle Emeroy Walker

Generation One


This is the family of my mother, she was raised in Shelbyville, Indiana, between both World Wars.  She grew up during the depression, she was twelve years old on "Black Tuesday." According to letters from my cousin Don Vinson, the family survived on what they grew on their farm, and thanks to the mutual aid of their friends and neighbors.  I guess everyone pitched in and helped each other in those days.  She loved Shelbyville, loved being a "hoosier" and her philosophy of life always seemed down to earth good old "common sense."  Again I must caution anyone, some of this is fact, some conjecture.  The Vinson family is still full of questions, I haven't been able to get past James E. Walker, the Shaw line is pretty good until you get to Aaron, after him I took the evidence and made Noble his father.  The Brown line is well documented, with a lot of help from Phyllis Miller Fleming my maternal line has really developed.  Check out the great site at:
