Biography

Jane Walker was a descendant of Colonel John Walker 1728 – 1796, DAR Ancestor Number A119449 and Elizabeth Watson Walker, 1731 – 1808. Colonel Walker was one of the Signers of the Tryon Resolves.

Jane appears to possibly be a daughter of James Walker and not Thomas Walker. Thomas would have been her Grandfather. See Reference below.
