Old Wallen Record Book
An old family record book was discovered in the papers of Thomas J. Walden of Busch, Arkansas after his death in 1951. Thomas was the son of Henry P. Wallen, and grandson of Joseph B. Walden. This record book was reportedly brought from Eastern Tennessee to southwest Missouri or northwest Arkansas in 1850. It is similar to a family bible record, with extensive genealogical information about many related Wallen, Walling, and Walden families.
Two different copies of this record book are made available on this profile:
Kenneth Walden Images and Transcriptions
The first is a set of images of the record book with transcriptions compiled by Kenneth E. Walden of Busch, Arkansas, on September 3, 1970. The images are barely legible, but this document includes Kenneth Walden's complete transcription of each page.
Joe E. Wallen Images
The second copy is a set of images provided by Joe E. Wallen of Johnson City, Tennessee, who has compiled an extensive library of information on the Wallen families. The copy quality of these images is much better and is reportedly as legible as the original. The Joe E Wallen images contain some additional marginalia but do not include transcriptions.
