I should have also mentioned (in a previous message about the "Benjamin
Walker Daybook, 1846) that there is additional information about the

Samuel Walker site at:

> Martha-Jefferson Bell of Edgefield SC, traveled through Arkansas,
> Mississisippi, and Texas in 1846, prospecting for land. He recorded his
> impressions of the land, his expenses, and some folk remedies along the
> way, such as cures for snake bite and colic in horses. He also recorded
> the names of people he met and from whom he bought land.

> Thanks to the East Texas Historical Journal for permission to reprint, the

> Our group is studying the descendants of Samuel and Martha-Jefferson Bell
> Walker of Revolutionary times in Edgefield, SC, as they spread throughout
