In 1778, Christopher WALKUP (1E) moved from Virginia to Greenbrier Co., West Virginia and settled his family on a farm of 175 acres where Renick is now located. When he died in 1818, his personal estate was appraised for $4181.23 and he had 460 acres of land, which were not appraised. His slaves were by far the most valuable of his personal estate. He had one black boy named Jack ($700), one black man named Reuben ($600), and one black girl named Tilly ($550). In comparison, his best horse, a two-year-old filly, was only appraised for $80.

William Nesbit WALKUP stated that he would not be responsible for the amount of abuse that slavery called for and at the same time would not remain in Virginia unless he was a slave-holder. One of his colts ran away across the mountains and he followed to rescue the animal. He stopped at a home in Greenbrier County, West Virginia for a drink of water and there saw Sarah McCoy. It was love at first sight as the report goes. He decided to marry Miss McCOY. They went first to near Marietta, Ohio and remained there for about a year before leaving for Browns Township, Miami County, Ohio in March 1817. He was a leading citizen in this section of Ohio known as Squire William WALKUP. He died Oct 1837 in the 60th year of his age. Sarah (McCOY) WALKUP died Feb 22, 1857 at St. Mary Auglaize County, Ohio where she spent the last three years of her life with her daughter, Mrs. Margaret LYTLE.

Joseph WALKUP (1D) served as a captain in the War of 1812, and in 1820 was one of the trustees of the Spring Creek Presbyterian Church, which was located on one acre of land formerly belonging to his brother, Christopher (1E-9) at Renick, Greenbrier Co., West Virginia. Some time before 1818 he had built his home, a part of the house now in use on the farm. In those days it was a fine house made of hewn logs, ceiled with poplar planks that had been sawed with a whipsaw. (The logs were rolled up on a platform on which one man stood, and with another man underneath, worked the saw. Two or three average length planks a day was considered a good day's work.) The joists and floor sleepers and other heavy parts were hewed out with axes or adzes. All the nails then, both for building and shoeing horses, were made by hand in the local blacksmith shops from long rods of iron or steel brought into the county by wagon train, or by teamsters who went over into Virginia for all kinds of wares. Just in front of the house, which faced east, ran a rude wagon road, coming from Brushy Flat, Renicks valley and other northern points, and leading to Bowen's grist mill at the mouth of Spring Creek. Traces of this old road can still be seen in the pasture fields. The farm was not lonely, for every day folks passed with teams, in sleds or on horseback with grists for the mill, which was busy from rise to set of sun. One can imagine the busy days on the old farm then, without the aid of mowing machines, wheat binders or any common machinery, let alone the motorized equipment of today. The only horse drawn implements were the wooden molding-board plow, the sled, and maybe a rough cart or wagon. Joseph and his helpers cleared the land with poleaxes, burned the logs and brush, and sometimes even dug up fields by hand with heavy hoes made in the nearest blacksmith shop. Hoes and axes were very important tools in those days. When a man wore the bit off his axe he took it to the blacksmith and had it upset; that is, had a piece of steel welded into the bit and ground down into a thin edge.

There was an old-fashioned well a few yards from the house, and one day Joseph's two-year-old son, Christopher Rusk (1D-11), fell into it. Joseph, working at the far end of the place, was hurriedly set for, and came as fast as he possible could, to find on his breathless arrival that his six-year-old daughter, Jamima (1D-9), had been let down into the well by bucket and rope and had brought Christopher safely up, more frightened than hurt. But in his rush to reach the house Joseph had overtaxed his heart, and from that day was an invalid until his death a few months later in April 1840.

The farm was quite large when Joseph died. Money had been scarce, but land was cheap. Each child of the twelve received a share. The eldest could not have been more than eighteen, but the widow stayed on her dowry interest and managed to get enough farming done to support them all, and all twelve lived to raise families of their own. In time all had sold or traded their lands until only the widow dower interest remained in the WALKUP name. Three of the sons served in the Civil War, one as a lieutenant. There were ten Negroes on the farm, valued in the appraisal at $3,430.00, but Joseph had promised them their freedom and they were never sold. The oldest, Reuben, lived in his little cabin under an apple tree just south of the main house until his death many years later, and the others gradually drifted away. Polly WALKUP died late in 1870, and Christopher Rusk WALKUP (he of the well incident), bought out the interests of the other heirs in his mother's dowry interest and moved into the old home.

Both Joseph WALKUP and Mary Hamilton BYRD are buried in what we think is now called Billy Williams cemetery near John Joseph WALKUP's farm SE of Renick on land that was owned by the BYRD's.

Christopher R. WALKUP (1E-9) led a party of settlers from Greenbrier County, West Virginia into McHenry County, Illinois in the spring of 1835, right after the county was opened for settlement. (Actually it was illegal to settle until July 1, 1836 under the treaty with the various Native American tribes made in Chicago in 1833). He surveyed part of the town of Crystal Lake (current population 30,000) and the street, which serves as the East/West dividing line in the numbering system, is Walkup Avenue. He was the first Sheriff in the county when it assumed its present form in 1840. After the death of his wife, Sabina BEARD, in 1955, Christopher went to Kansas, but four years later returned to Abingdon, Knox County, Illinois where he lived the rest of his life.
