   The Thomas [Walker1]-Thomas [Walker2]-James [Walker3] lineage is well supported by the Will of Thomas Walker Sr and by a huge lawsuit in Orange Co VA where a slave sued for his freedom. This lawsuit also establishes the identity of the 2 wives of Jacob Miller SR (Elizabeth Fudge and Margaret Sullivan) and the parentage of Catherine Miller Walker. It is a very interesting document.
