Person talk:David Walker (49)

census [25 September 2017]

I removed

Heath, Franklin County, Ma., in 1810 Federal Census. David, age 12, is listed on the 1810 census for Heath, Ma. Note: Heath, Mass became part of Franklin County in 1811, prior to that it was part of Hampshire County, Mass.

Because it is not true. No David Walker is listed, only the head of household, T. Walker [1]. It is presumption/assumption that David is one of the sons, not a fact documented by this source, and it certainly doesn't tell us his age.

I removed

David Walker, in 1820 Federal Census- Newport, Herkimer County, New York. David, age 22, is shown as a laborer. He resides in an area called Smokey Hollow located in the Northwest corner of the town of New port.

because no David Walker is found in Herkimer County, and the Thomas Walker there [2] has no person of an appropriate age to be David.

I removed

David Walker, in 1825 State Census- Newport, Herkimer Co. New York. The 1825 Census shows David age 27, living with his brothers Thomas Walker Jr. and Joseph Collins Walker and a woman named Sally Chapin.

While I can't see the census entry, it was head of household only [3], meaning the description is all assumption and not information given by the source.

I removed

David Walker, AGE 32, Martinsburgh, Lewis County, New York, in Residence - Martinsburg, Lewis County, New york. David, my 2nd gr-grandfather, moved to Martinsburgh in Lewis County, New York after the 1830 Census and was a shoemaker by trade.

Because it is not true. No David Walker is found in Lewis County until 1840 [4]. In 1830 he appears to be listed in Herkimer County [5]. --Jrich 04:52, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
