Searching for descendants of Jeremiah WALKER, b. abt, 1823. Lived in
Jennings Co IN. Jeremiah was a carpenter and was shown on the 1850 census of
Hancock Co Indiana, with Isaac HENDRIX age 79, b. NC. The next dwelling was
occupied by Frederick HENDRIX, b. abt 1811, in KY. Jeremiah's maternal
grandparents' are Jeremiah WILSON and Rhoda Sutton WILSON, possibly born in KY.
according to a source on the 'net.
I have a probate record for the foster mother of James UNDERWOOD living in
Kansas (formerly of Hancock Co IN). It lists Jeremiah WALKER as building a
coffin for Mary after her death, in 1874. Another carpenter, John L. DICKSON
and Charley RULEY are also listed in the probate for their costs for lumber
and other building materials.
Eager to hear from anyone who has knowledge of any of the above families.
