MySource:Quolla6/Will of James Walker, Fannett Twp, 1788

proven 16 Dec 1788. Brother Samuel Walker of Fannett Twp, all the land I now hold in Fannett Twp, also my part of a bond containing 150 pounds, 16 shillings due from James Moor at the Forks of the Brandywine to my brother Samuel. To my brother Robert's children. Brothers David and John and sister Susanna Witherow; 3 pounds out of Samuel's share to be applied for repairing the Presbyterian Church in the Lower Congregation of Path Valley.

wife: None identified,

Children:None identified

Brothers:Samuel, Robert, David, John

Sister:Susanna Witherow

Other:James Moore, probable kinsman, children of brother Robert.

but later escaped. Family tradition states that he never fully recovered from the ordeal.

Since neither wife nor children are identified, and estate is left to brothers, sisters, and children of brother Robert, we can infer that James was unmarried, and that he had no children.

James Moore (of the Forks of the Brandwine) apparently owes James 150 pounds and 16 shillings, and also appears as a witness. This suggests that there's a family relationship involved here of some description. The fact that the Forks of the Brandywine (Chester County) is a substantial distance from Fannett Township in Franklin County, reinforces this, as it seems unlikely that only a kinsman would travel such a distance to witness a will.
