Do you know these people? If anyone has any information and/or connection to any of these people perhaps we could be of help to each other.
The areas involved would be Washington County, MD which became Allegany County, MD, possibly the connecting boundaries of Pennsylvania, Virginia/West Virginia.

Our other legend was that a REINIER came over with Lafayette during the
American Revolutionary War. And of course the name can be spelled Regnier, Rhiner,
Riner, and many other variations; and even if it was spelled correctly, can
be easily mistranscribed as Rimer, Riener etc.

Hi, In response to the question about Lt. Jacob Walker (1745-1783). The name
of the Newton Saylor Cemetery is given in the list of cemeteries in the
Somerset Co. USGenweb site, but with no data given.
In the W.P.A. cemetery readings of the 1930s, this cemetery is not among
those that were read.
Best wishes,
Oora Flaningam

My friend was in Berlin for the Walker Family reunion about 2 or 3 years ago and
she and her aunt visited Jacob's gravesite and she said the gravemarker is
there. It is not original one but a replacement paid by the Walker Family
descendants. The Walker Family reunion is held at regular intervals in Berlin or
nearby towns.
My friend has data on more than 15,000 descendants of Jacob Walker.

The tombstone is there, but not at Newton-Saylor Cemetery, but at Jacob
