Child list from Will, remaining data based on Ancestry Family trees
| Name | DOB | DOD | Spouse | Dispersion | Note
| | Samuel Walker | c1703 | | Rachel Hammond | To Orange/Frederick county, VA
| | Hugh Walker | after 1723 | 1775 | No evidence found | reputed to have died in Milford Hundred, Cecil Co. MD | Some give a DOB of 1708/1709 The 1723 DOB is based on view that Hugh Jr. was under 21 when his father died in 1744; the gap in births suggests a possible problem in the DOBs, or perhaps the other children are by an earlier marriage. The fact that in 1744 son Samuel is identified as the heir at law of Hugh Sr indicates that he is the only adult male heir, implying that Hugh Jr is underage.
