Overview

Joseph Walker moved with his brothers James and John to the area around Bedford and Coffee County, Tennessee. The History of Tennessee Illustrated, published in 1887 by the Goodspeed Publishing Company, mentions that "In about 1812 Joseph Walker erected a water-mill on Garrison Fork of Duck River, near where the town of Fairfield was afterward located, and David Shipman erected a water-mill at the head of the creek by :that name." He can be found in 1812 tax records in the region[2]. However, his father only mentions Joseph's children in his will, suggesting that he died by 1818.
