Antoinette,
I am not currently working on my Walker line but I will keep your
emails and should I run across your folks I will get in touch.
Best wishes for tracking your family line.

Just glancing at your names I don't recognize any of them - but
will keep
my eyes open when I do work on my Walker line. But mine did go from
Virginia into Kentucky then Southern Indiana. I do know there is/
was a
huge line of Walker's in Pennsylvania as I have come across them while
researching my Waughtel line in that state. And my Waughtel's were
there
in the mid 1750s -
