You're probably right about this Elizabeth Magill Walker being a daughter (or neice) to Thomas Walker/Elizabeth Magill, especially when other Walker and Magill siblings intermarried (I have John Walker-son of John Walker and Mary Anderson and brother to Thomas- married to Rebecca Magill in TN 1788; I also have Thomas's daughter, Susan Walker, married to Robert Magill in 1801.)
As for Thomas Walker Jr. and Polly Gwinn, I don't have any concrete evidence for their birth, marriage, or migration dates, but not for lack of trying. Speculation and tradition say that Thomas Walker Jr. was born about 1791 in Blount Co, TN and that he married Polly Gwinn between 1810 and 1814 probably in TN. I base this on the fact that their first son, Isham Gwinn Walker, was born 1815 in TN. I can deduce that they migrated to Indiana between 1815 and 1819 because their son Isham was born 1815 in TN and their son Thomas Elmore Walker was born 1819 in IN (see 1850 census for Martin Co., IN). There are 4 Thomas Walkers in Indiana during the 1830 census. The one in Orange County best matches the likely family structure of Thomas WalkerJr./Polly Gwinn. Polly Gwinn died in 1832/33 in IN during child birth. Her 11th and last child was my ggg grandfather, Anderson Walker. Thomas Walker Jr. did remarry however to Mrs. Jane Crim in 1837 in Martin Co., IN. Three of his children mar!
ried into the Butler family of Martin Co., IN. My ggg grandfather, Anderson Walker, married Margaret Butler and migrated to Idaho with his children, grandchildren and several neices/nephews and friends in 1881.
This is a lot of detail that may or may not be useful to you. Toss what you don't need. Where do you fit into this family and what are you searching for now?
