Overview

This article is for Daniel Walker son of John Walker (292) who died 1687 Talbot County MD. There are several Daniel Walkers in Talbot County about whom this could apply. One Candidate is the Daniel Walker (14) whose father and mother are identified as John Walker and wife Elizabeth of Stand of Pilkington, Lancashire County, England. To accept this, explanations (and associated proofs) are needed for several data elements:

1. Since he dies in Talbot County, why is he referred to in other records as being "Of Stand of Pilkington, Lancashire",

2. The wife of John Walker "Of Stand of Pilkington, Lancashire" is identified a Elizabeth, yet the wife of John (292) is identified as Margaret.

3. The will of John (292) indicates that he was under age 21 (though married) in 1687. That implies he was born after 1666. Daniel (14) is believed to have been born about 1640, and looks to be older than Daniel (31)

Most likely, Daniel (31) is a different person from Daniel (11).

Other possibilities for Daniel (31) include Daniel Walker the Cordwainer (d. 1737) and Daniel Walker the School Master.
