Biography

'New York state flag'
Grace (Williams) Walton was born in New York.

Grace, the daughter of Charles (1700-1773) and Sarah Elizabeth (Oliver; ca 1705-aft 1745) Williams was born about 1740 in New York, British Colonial America. Her parents had emigrated from England prior to her birth. Grace's parents were married on 7 September 1726 at St. Benet Paul's Wharf, London, England.[1]

Grace married Abraham Walton, the son of Jacob and Maria (Beekman) Walton on 6 August 1766 at Trinity Church in New York, British Colonial America.[2]Their seven children were born in Hempstead, New York and baptized (bp.) at Saint Georges Church in Hempstead. Abraham's Will, page 143 confirms the six surviving children:[3]

  1. Maria Walton (bp. 22 May 1767),[4]died young[5]
  2. Maria Eliza Walton (bp. 18 Apr 1769; d. 23 Mar 1810, New York, NY),[6] m. 15 Nov 1786 James Jacobus Roosevelt
  3. Charles Walton (b. 1770), unmarried[7]
  4. Abraham Walton Jr. (bp. 15 Mar 1771), [8]m. [unknown] Graham[9]
  5. Sarah Walton (b. 1772), m. Edmund Morewood[10]
  6. Grace Walton (b. 1774), m. Edward Lyde[11]
  7. Charlotte Elizabeth Walton (b. 1776), m. Jonathan Ogden[12]

Grace, Abraham and their family resided at Pembroke, Musquito Cove (name changed to Glen Cove in 1836), Long Island.[13]The 1790 Census for New York indicates that the Walton household household consisted of 3 males over 16 years of age, 5 females and 2 slaves.[14]

The death date for Grace (Williams) Walton is uncertain at this time. She died after 1796 as she is alive after her husband's will was entered into probate in December 1796 and she had been left well provided for by Abraham Walton.[15]
