Biography

Birth: Dec. 25, 1714, Ireland Death: Feb. 7, 1793 Rockbridge County, Virginia, USA

SAMUEL Walker; purchased land and established a home in Virginia about 1740, leaving Chester County, Pa., whither he had come with his father about 1735 from Newry, Ireland, where Samuel was born Dec. 25, 1714. He was m. to Jane Patterson Dec. 5, 1740, in Virginia. In tracing the Patterson name intermarriages occur frequently with the Walker family. The old Rutherford Bible shows both names recorded therein soon after the emigration to America. He d. Feb., 1793. She d. Jan. 10, 1800, aged 80 years. Mrs. James E. Gray of Atlanta, sends the following in regard to land granted to Samuel Walker : "Samuel Walker obtained a grant of land in Bedford County, Va., July 20, 1768, also one April 6, 1769, in Augusta County, Va., and another in Botetourt County, Va., March 1, 1773. See records kept at Richmond, Va., Land Office."

These grants were no doubt given on account of service in the Colonial Wars, as Samuel Walker's name appears in a list of Colonial Militia under Capt. John Buchanan. This company was from Augusta County, Va., and was in service in 1742. — See Virginia Historical Magazine, Vol. Till, No. 3.:

Walker-5733 and Walker-177 appear to represent the same person because: These are definitely the same person. Same name, same wives. One profile has birth date "before 1721" and the other specifies 1714.

Daughter Barbara of Walker-5733 is listed as daughter in text of Walker-177.

Please merge these profiles.
