On August 17, 1812, in Anne Arundel, Maryland, Walter married Mary Scrivener. ^[2] Mary's father, John Scrivener was born circa 1735, in Anne Arundel county, Maryland and during the American Revolutionary War, John signed the Oath of Fidelity to the newly formed United States of America. ^[3] John is honored by the Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution as DAR Ancestor #A100790. DAR records indicate that John died before November 13, 1789, in Maryland and that his wife's name was Rebecca. Applications for membership in the Society of the DAR have been made by the descendants of their son, William Scrivener, who married Achsa Gaither and their daughter, Mary Scrivener, who married Walter Carr. ^[4]
