I am looking for genealogical data about the Honorable Robert J. Walker (I think the middle initial is a J but am not sure). He was my great great grandfather and was supposedly some type of judge, circuit court or other, before the Civil War. He was also a plantation owner and my greatgrandfather was born on the plantation in 1856 somewhere around Macon. His name was William F. Walker. Robert's wife is thought to be a Bettina or Bernina Smith possibly. I am researching this branch of my family. My grandmother said that William (her father) talked about his mammy that he loved and he went to visit her in Georgia after he had moved to Texas. I know that the family was Methodist, that the first wife died in the late 1880's, and that Robert Walker remarried. Can you tell me how to find out more about this family? I want to trace them to their country of origin.
