IS THIS YOUR WILLIAM?
1900 census Idaho, Upper Crane Precinct, Washington Co.
William H. Walker b. 4/1856 age 44 mrd. 12 yrs b. IN parents b. IN
Emma R. b. 7/1869 age 30 5 children/5 living b. IA father b. PA mother b. IL
Charles b. 4/1890 age 10 b. ID father b. IN mother b. IA
James A. b. 4/1893 age 7 b. same as above
George F. b. 9/1896 age 3
Marget S. b. 12/1898 1
Henry W. Allen (stepson) b. 4/1885 age 15 b. IA
On the same page is a John W. Walker b. 1858 age 41 b. IN
and Thomas Walker b. 1856 age 45 b. IN. I assume these are brothers of William.
Therefore in looking for them in Martin Co., IN I found the following:
1860 Martin Co., IN Lost River Twp.
Anderson Walker 28 farmer b. IN
Margreate 28 b. IN
James 7
Wm. H. 5
Thomas 3
John 6 mths.
They are not in the 1870 Martin Co census...but I found them in the 1880 census in Dubois
Co., IN as follows:
Anderson WALKER Self M Male W 48 IN TN TN
Margaret WALKER Wife M Female W 49 IN Keeps House IN IN
William WALKER Son S Male W 24 IN IN IN
Thomas WALKER Son S Male W 22 IN IN IN
John WALKER Son Male W 19 IN IN IN
Susana WALKER Dau S Female W 6 IN IN IN
Annie WALKER Dau S Female W 4 IN IN IN
Their marriage record in Martin Co., IN
Walker Anderson Margaret Butler Sept 16 1852 1 143
In looking at the Martin Co., 1850 census I found the following that might be this
Margaret and Anderson with their parents:
Columbia Twp.
Thomas Butler 46 farmer b. OH
Susanna 42 b. IN
MARGARET 18 b. IN
Hiram 16 b. IN
Mary 7 b. IN
Rutherford Twp.
Thomas Walker 59 farmer b. TN
Jane 59 b. KY
Anderson 18 b. IN
Eliza Simmons 18 b. IN (probably domestic help)
Hope this helps you.
