John Walker
Birth: unknown
Virginia, USA
Death: Mar., 1850
Virginia, USA
Son of Charles and Margaret Peters Walker, born circa 1777 in Virginia. By earlier researchers, the brother of Chrispi Anos H.A. Walker, Underwood Walker, William Walker, Julius Walker, Peggy (Margaret), & Catherine, perhaps Charity and Cordelia Walker.
He died between November 1849 and April of 1850.
This location later became Mercer county, West Virginia.
The marriage bond of John & Nancey Mullins was signed on the 3rd of February, 1797.
His father's name is listed in the members of the first Grand Jury of the county.
John purchased this portion, part of 700 acres, probably prior to 27 March of 1810; on which date he ceded charge of the road to Charles Clay. It was on Rich Creek near Spanishburg. The graves are near where their homeplace stood. An early and prominent citizen, he was the father of nine who are mentioned in his will, which was executed in 1849, and proven at court in 1850. The will divides land between all of his children who are mentioned, provides for his widow, and is witnessed by officers and appraisers of the county and the court and is signed by E. Vanter, Justice of the Peace. The lists of property and also of accounts payable to the estate are very interesting reading.
He and Nancey were farmers of a large tract, some of which was divided, but they were buried on their farm with stones as markers.
