Person:William Walker (316)

Notes from Mark B. Walker:

2. WILLIAM2 WALKER (WILLIAM1)3 was born 1767, and died March 11, 1835 in Rockingham County, NC, USA4. He married VILET5. William Walker was to receive $125 inheritance, according to his father's will (Will of William Walker, 13 December 1800, recorded in "Old Wills Discovered in Office Dated Prior to 1804, p. 258). William was likely the same as the individual whose grave marker at Haw River Presbyterian Church indicates he died in March 1835.

A county court record of March 1836 seems to correlate with this date. It describes a hearing held outside of the normal term schedule. At this hearing, one Talmon Walker was appointed to administer the estate of William Walker, deceased. Given that a family member was usually selected to act as the administrator of an estate, it is probable that Talmon was William's son.
