Overview

Robert Walker lived his life in Newville, Pennsylvania alongside many of his brothers. He served in the local militia during the Revolutionary War.[1]. He is not the same Robert Walker who lived in Rye Township nearby, as Robert can be found on Newton County Tax lists up until around 1790. Church records list his younger children, and it is likely he also had an older son named James as well. It is possible, but less certain, that he had additional sons William and Samuel who migrated to Adams County, Ohio.
