Hi Kirk,

Try looking in Maryland. There were Walkers in Prince George's
County many generations before your David H. Walker. They're
only in-laws to my lines, so I can't give you any specific
leads. My closest in time is Joseph Howard Walker b. abt 1782,
possibly in PGCo like his older siblings. I have no later in-
formation on him, but Howard was his maternal grandmother's
surname. Possibly David's middle name was also Howard. Most
likely there's no connection, but heck, you never know.

Joseph Howard Walker was the son of Gideon Walker and Priscilla
Duvall (b. 1736/37); Priscilla's parents were Mareen Duvall IV
and Ruth Howard. There are undoubtedly many other branches of
the Walker family. Many PGCo MD people crossed the Potomac to
Fairfax/Loudoun Counties in VA at around the time of the Rev-
olutionary War (maybe because of the KY bounty lands offered by
VA?)

Happy Hunting,
Betsy

I am new to this list and in need of assistance. I have hit a bit of a
brick wall and would appreciate any information, advice, etc anyone
could offer me on parents, siblings, etc for the following:

David H Walker , born in Virginia
married Mary V ??? also born in Virginia.

In November of 1849 they gave birth to Mary Virginia Walker in
Fairfax Virginia. d Jan 1905
She married Llewellyn Watson (b 1844) of Prince George County
Maryland. d Oct 1915

They gave birth to Amelia Annette Watson in 1879 in Prince George
County.

I am seeking data on David and Mary V as well as anything on siblings,
suggested directions, etc. I will also be glad to share what I have if
anyone needs related data.

Thanks
Kirk Yingling
