Message Board Post:
I am searching for the names of my great-great-grandfather's parents:
John Samuel WALKER was born January 4, 1832, in New Albany, Floyd County, Indiana. He
left for Missouri in 1844, possibly alone, and settled in Minnesota in 1854.
He had a brother (or cousin?) William WALKER, born about 1839, who also settled in Wabasha
County, Minnesota, and lived with John S. Walker's family in his old age. He gave his
birthplace as both Indiana and Missouri on census records.
John and William usually gave their parents' birthplaces on census records as: father
Mississippi and mother Tennessee.
Does this match up with anyone's family? Also welcome feedback on which Floyd County
Walker family this does not fit with.
