Walker-60178 and Walker-14948 appear to represent the same person because: Both married to the same person, possible match

Sorry, but I can find no evidence of a son named Zachariah. He is in no census records, not in the will, not found in any cemeteries and not in any family research. John and Urcilla had 8 sons and 4 daughters. Nancy, Mary (Polly) and Thaddeus were left out of the will on purpose. I live in the area the Walkers lived and we have a lot of research. Many of our researchers haven’t been able to find proof of John’s parents.

John’s son Elijah is my is my 4th gr grandfather Mirinda Barnette

Miranda,

Will do some checking, but from Zachariah's profile, I found this...

- Illinois Statewide Marriage Index, 1763-1900 - 1820 Union County Illinois Federal Census

So I will check those out first....
