Overview

In his will^[2], Samuel mentions the following children:

Hannah Warner

Elizabeth McQuillon

Fanny Lawson

Robert Walker (Eldest Son)

James Walker

William Walker

His FindaGrave page can be found here. For reasons not completely clear, Samuel was not included in his father's will. The inclusion of Samuel as a son of Robert is claimed by researchers and corroborated by land records. Robert's land in West Virginia was sold by the rest of his children to Samuel who did not join the migration to Ohio. Samuel later migrated to Greenup County, Kentucky.

Among their children were Hannah, who was born in 1800 in Virginia and married Nathaniel Warner in 1825 (see Warner family), James, who married Nancy, one of the seven daughters of Aaron Kinney of Portsmouth, Ohio and who lived on the farm.
