Note

NOTEThe identification of the father of Lewis Walker as the great nephew of Catherine Walker [3034] is speculative. It is an attempt to relate the Bell family to Mary Alice Hearrell [17291]. Mary Alice Hearrell [17291] was the wife of William H. D. Murray [17351], a prominent figure in OK policies. Oral family lore, heard as a child, indicated such a link exists. I recall being taken to visit Murray at his home in Tishomingo OK as a child of about 10.

The sole reason for including the material about Mary Alice Hearrell [17291] is attempting to see if this can be verified. The identification here is the most plausible link I can see. It looks pretty tenuous.

But, there still remain some possabilities to be explored. I leave the material as a starting point for exploring those possibilities.
