Biography

1768 Birth

Susanna was born in 1768. Susanna Walker .^[1]

Possible family

There was a Susanna Walker who was the daughter of a George Walker who died in 1775 from the bite of a dog resulting in hydrophobia. This George left a wife and six children who are enumerated in the Census of 1776. Lower Potomac Hundred, Frederick Co., Maryland. They are:

1. Male b. 1761,
2. Benjamin b. 1763,
3. Elizabeth b. 1765,
4. Susanna b. 1768,
5. Jonathan b. 1772,
6. George b. 1774. ^[2]

Irma Ruth Mason Anderson (Mrs. Arvid E. Anderson, 144 Kenneth St, Santa Cruz, CA 95060, January 1966) has written up this George in the Blake-Ambrose Family History (pp 17-18) using Williams and also Accounts Liber 72, f. 250, Hall of Records, Annapolis, MD. Robert Ferguson was administrator of the estate of this earlier George Walker and rendered a statement of his account 23 July 1775.

Possible Alternate Family

Another Walker family, also of English descent, came into the same area of Frederick County from Philadelphia. They may have been related but I have not been able to determine the relationship nor to learn the maiden name of George's wife, Vineay. It is likely that she took the children after her husband's death to live with his brother, Jacob, who had migrated earlier to Brothers Valley Township, Bedford Co., PA. There Susan would have met Henry Ambrose whom she married about 1787. Both families were communicants of the Reformed & Lutheran Church in Berlin, PA. Date: Aug 2000

Another George

These families are sometimes confused with the family of George Walker, son of Francis, born 1758 in Prince Georges County, and married to Ann Martha Bryan (Gray).
