Thanks for the response, Betsy.

I'm familiar with this family but, to my knowledge, don't relate to them. One
of their descendants, Renelder Walker, ended up in the same Kentucky county
as did my ancestors in 1800. We're attempting to find a male Walker descendant
from this line to participate in a DNA study to determine if there is a
connection.

Regards, Bob Walker
