    Jacob Walker #3, son of George Walker #2 and wife Margaret [s/b Ann], born ca 1695, died August 1757, married Nov 6, 1723 (Norfolk County Marriage Bonds) Courtenay Tucker (1705-1748), the daughter of Robert Tucker and wife Frances (Courtenay), who married secondly "Scotch Tom" Nelson, immigrant; she died probably ca 1753.

    Jacob Walker was prominent in civil and church circles, and served as sheriff, justice 1726-1729, and as vestryman of St. John's Church from 1752-1756. His father in law gave a silver chalice to this same church, when George Walker #2 gave his affirmation to his will in 1722, evidence that he would not take the oath.

    After leaving Elizabeth Cith, Jacob and Courtenay Walker settled in Yorktown, where "quiet dignity drew around their lives a curtain that is hard for us to pierce. Records of births and marriages are all that come through to prying eyes".

    Children of Jacob Walker #3 and wife Courtenay:

    1. George Walker #4, born ac. 1726 died 1798-1799; married Mary Meade of Nansemond County, daughter of David, only son of Andrew and Mary (Latham) Meade. George #4 Walker disposed of land in several counties before moving to Brunswick County. Mary Meade Walker was executrix of her husband's will in which he names his sons and daughters, to whom he left considerable sums of money, town lots in Hampton, forty slaves, and plantations. Jacob, the second son, died unmarried during the Revolutionary War. Four thousand acres of military land north of the Ohio were granted to his brother David, who sold them to a relative, another George Walker of Jessamine County, Kentucky.
