Biography

Martha Walton was born in 1710. She passed away in 1772. ^[1][2][3]

Martha married George Sims about 1727.

Their son Adam Sims married Elizabeth Walton, daughter George Walton & his wife Elizabeth.^[4]

Research Notes

Spouses surname can also be spelled as Symes.

This Martha, wife of George Sims, might have been the daughter of a George Walton (maybe Walton-3804), but not the George Walton (Walton-976) who married Elizabeth and left a will dated 1764 that was probated January 26, 1767.

This profile has been detached (repeatedly) from the profiles of George Walton & Elizabeth Rowe.

This Martha is not the daughter of George Walton (Walton-976) and hias wife Elizabeth. The Adam Simms, Jr mentioned in his 1767 will is said to be the husband of his deceased daughter Elizabeth. Children mentioned in that will do not include either a Martha or an Elizabeth, but Adam Simms has a separate ITEM bequest between those made to his daughters Mary and Catherine. (George Walton’s will, probated in Brunswick County, Virginia on 26 Jan 1767, mentioned his wife Elizabeth and children John Walton, Mary Ledbetter, Catherine Harris, and Isaac Rowe Walton.)^[5]

There is another George Walton (d 1734, citing Deeds, Wills, Inventories - Book 1 restored by Virginia State DAR), who married Sarah Roper on "February ye — , 1710-11".^[6]
