Reseach Notes
The profile that was recently merged was conflated with James W Rueben Walker (1760-1845), wife is Nancy Bradley 1769-1844, who was born in Virginia and died in Illinois. Both profiles have the same Find a Grave. Linked wife Nancy Jemima (Bradley) Walker (abt.1780-1844) is mentioned in the other profile, but not linked.
The Family Search Profile for James Reuben Walker FamilySearch Person: L1CD-4GB had sources for children that were born in North Carolina and England (which have been unlinked), so there is conflation of profiles in many sites
There is another FamilySearch Person: MCSB-SVM for James Walker, with children born in Staveley, England, from 1814 to 1821, with mother Elizabeth, that was included in this profile's sources.[3]
There is another FamilySearch Person: MTQS-F6W for James Walker, with wife Nancy and children born in Bradford, England from 1827 to 1833. [4]

James W Rueben Walker (1760-1845) is a recent profile that has information for the James Walker that was born in Virginia, possibly lived in North Carolina, and died in Illinois. The Find A Grave: Memorial #9421206 for that James Walker is included in both profiles, which is probably where the death date and location on this profile comes from.
This profile Walker-16559 was initially created with a birth of 1780 and linked to Nancy Bradley.
The profile that was 'merged in' had the Scotland baptism date of Sept 22 1760. The Family Search profile for James Reuben Walker has sources attached for the Scotland Birth and baptism, which are probably incorrect, but is also probably contributing to why there is confusion with the profiles and the dates. The birthdate of the James Walker, born in Virginia, is probably not Sept 1760 since that is the Scotland James Walker, which is sourced.
PMs need to discuss if a new profile should be created for the Scotland James Walker, whose 'source' was in the 'merged in Walker-65135' profile and then merge this profile with the Walker-65031, since this has the linked wife and 2 children of that family, possibly.
