Here’s my direct Walker lineage:


Father: Russell Walker 1946 – 2006

Grandfather: Albert Walker 1912 – 1988

Great Grandfather: Herbert Walker 1888 – 1992

2nd Great Grandfather: William Walker 1860 – 1939

3rd Great Grandfather: Henry Wilson Walker 1831 – 1912

4th Great Grandfather: James Thomas Walker 1806 – 1850

5th Great Grandfather: Samuel Walker (1779 – 1822 not sure this is correct) – married to Elizabeth Parrish


That’s as far back as I can take the Walker… unfortunately, Samuel Walker is a bit of an enigma – Any chance you have information on him? I hired an Ancestry genealogist to look into him but nothing concrete came of it

Carrie (Walker) Pell, Albert and Tinnie’s oldest daughter, often told the story about a Wagon Train trip she was part of. I wish someone would have written down her story.Since there are no Diaries or Journals of their daily lives, I will take the liberty to write the “Wagon Train” story as a most likely scenario of what may have happened. My resource materials come from pieces of my family remembrances, Census data, Dale Walker, Virginia Walker, Louise Taylor, Janie Hughes (Bert Walker’s Granddaughter) and Evelyn Tharp from California. The setting is during and after the Civil War since Carrie was born three months before Fort Sumter, South Carolina was fired upon by the newly established Rebel Forces. The date of this first shot (April 12, 1861) is considered to be the beginning date for the Civil War. As we now know, the War lasted for four years and claimed over 600,000 lives of soldiers and civilians – no living soul in America was unscathed by the War and the aftermath, not even in Stecoah, North Carolina. The Civil War and the prevailing conditions after the War may have been a factor in their decision to go west. According to family remembrances Albert and Tinnie’s plan was to take the Oregon Trail to the Oregon Territory then develop phase two of their plan. Story also has it that Albert wanted to hunt buffalo – maybe he would have the opportunity to do both – or not!

Between the birth of their daughter Cora and the birth of their son Doss there was a six year period. This scenario assumes that the wagon train trip took place during this six year period. This scenario also assumes they waited until baby Cora was of traveling age, maybe three years old? So let’s assume they packed the kids and all they owned into the wagon and headed south-west to the Cumberland Gap around March of 1876. In those days, a wagon train would average about seven miles per day on a long trip. So we will allow them 30 days to get to the Cumberland Gap and with a little luck join a Wagon Train heading west soon thereafter. Given five months of luxury travel, using the seven mile per day average, we are now somewhere inside Kansas. Story has it that one evening when the wagons were circled; one of their daughters was bitten by a rattlesnake while picking wild berries. This daughter died from the snake bite. Another guess is that this daughter was Ellen because she did not show up in the 1880, or later, census data whereas the other children did. Under this scenario, Ellen would have been about nine years old when she died. Tinnie told Albert she wanted to go back to North Carolina, which they did. Most likely they wintered over in Kansas then caught another Wagon Train going East in the spring of 1877, this must have been a sad and solemn trip home. They would have arrived in North Carolina sometime well before winter set in. Tinnie and the remaining children went to South Carolina, sometime before Doss was born, to live with someone called Aunt Dana Billingsley. Aunt Dana may have been a sister of Tinnie or a sister of her Dad (a Taylor) or a sister of her Mother, (a Barnes). While Tinnie and the children were living in South Carolina, with Aunt Dana, Albert was back in Stecoah building their new house.

Tinnie and the remaining children went to South Carolina, sometime before Doss was born, to live with someone called Aunt Dana Billingsley. Aunt Dana may have been a sister of Tinnie or a sister of her Dad (a Taylor) or a sister of her Mother, (a Barnes). While Tinnie and the children were living in South Carolina, with Aunt Dana, Albert was back in Stecoah building their new house. Their son Caswell A Walker, who was around 14 years old, may have stayed in North Carolina to help his Dad build the new house. Albert Walker built this house sometime between 1879 and 1888. It was built as a Box House. Meaning it had living quarters (two rooms) with a door to the front and back porch. Then it had the sleeping quarters (two rooms) with a door to the front and back porch – there were no doors between the living and sleeping quarters. This is the house where Tinnie lived with her daughter Cora and her grandson Verlie until she died in 1935. Cora died in 1962 and Verlie died in 1983. In1994, a couple from Marietta, Georgia, Bob and Lynn Shields, bought this farm and restored the old house to its original form. They now live there in 2008. The changes Bob and Lynn made were enclosing the back porch with a wall and a set of large windows to have full view of the beautiful mountains. Functionally, it also allowed them to get from the living quarters to the sleeping quarters without going outside. They also added running water, a bathroom and electricity. Otherwise, stepping inside the house takes you back to when Albert and Tinnie lived there, it’s beautiful! Bob and Lynn even found some survey records in Albert Walkers handwriting when they were cleaning trash out of the house. When I attended the Walker reunion in 2005, Uncle Dale Walker (who said he held me as a baby) took me over to see the farm. When Bob and Lynn found out who we were, they opened their hearts and home to us, a very nice couple! Doss may, actually, have been born in South Carolina in 1879, according to the 1880 Census data. Their last two children, Jesse and Burt, were born in North Carolina. To finish the “Wagon Train” story - sometime (later or much later) after their youngest son Bert Walker was born in July 1885; supposedly, Albert went squirrel hunting and never came back, guess he favored buffalo hunting?

Baker, First North Carolina Cavalry, of engagement at Brandy Station. June 10, 1863. Capt.: I have the honor to report that my regiment was engaged at various times yesterday, from early in the morning to late in the evening. The entire regiment was engaged fighting the enemy's infantry in the morning with good success. Capt. [W. R.] Wood (a squadron dismounted) charged the enemy's infantry, driving them rapidly back. I consider that the most brilliant part of the day's work performed by the regiment. The regiment made two charges with perfect success on cavalry, capturing the standard of the Tenth New York Regt., and routing them. The whole regiment behaved admirably. Capt. [R.] Barringer was wounded severely in the face. Killed, 5; wounded, 12; missing, 14. By the best calculation I can make, by referring to the several captains, the number of prisoners captured and sent to the rear was 137. Nearly all these, with their arms, horses, and whatever they had, were turned over to the provost-marshal and other officers in the rear who seemed to take charge. I cannot tell the number of horses and equipments captured, as they were turned over with the prisoners; but I find this morning in my regiment 19 horses, 9 saddles, 36 guns, 28 pistols, and 12 sabers. Seven horses have been sent to the brigade quartermaster. The others were required to supply the places of horses killed, wounded, and lost. The arms have been turned in, and I would be glad to retain all the pistols, as I am very deficient in that particular arm, and sufficient quantity of the arms to supply the deficiency caused by accidental loss on the field. I have the honor to report the names of Capt.'s Wood and [W. H. H.] Cowles for marked gallantry, and to acknowledge my thanks to my adjutant (Lieut. [J. L.] Gaines) for his great coolness and assistance rendered me in reforming my regiment and keeping them in proper order to resist the enemy. My major ([J. H.] Whitaker), although on the sick report and very unwell, remained all day, doing all in his power. I am, captain, with much respect, L. S. BAKER, Col. First North Carolina Cavalry. Capt. T. G. Barker, Assistant Adjutant-Gen., Cavalry Brigade. Source: Official Records: Series I. Vol. 27. Part II. Reports.

The next day Ellen died. The walker family dropped out of the waggon train, to return to Stecoah. Aunt Carrie told us of the return trip theough the deals gap to stecoah.

Birth Records burned during the Civil War: Monroe County Courthouse History

Since its formation in November of 1819, Monroe County, Tennessee has constructed four courthouses on the courthouse square. The Monroe County Courthouse has suffered two fires. The first courthouse was a log structure that burned during a fire in 1832. The next courthouse was a frame building that was burned in 1864 during the Civil War. Because of this, some records, especially marriages, deeds, and county court records may not be available. The third courthouse constructed was a brick building, but soon did not meet the needs of the community and was torn down in 1896 to build the present courthouse. The current courthouse was completed in 1897. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its Romanesque, Classical Revival, and Italianate Architecture. The Archives are located in the basement of the courthouse.

to Wendy I took the Family tree DNA Y37 test, kit 845369, I am in group 16 of 80 + walker lineages Group 16 all share a common ancestor, there are 2 of those that my DNA , SNP's are an exact match, Family tree DNA uses the Y DNA to prove son to father as does the court system. There is no doubt that my lineage is Walker, not just any Walker, bot a very small group of walker's, for more concrete proof one would have to exume the body of Caswell, oor his Father Joseph and do a DNA TEST. I also have taken the Ancestory.com DNA test and not worth 2 cents. Keep in mind Albert Harrison Walker's older half brother Dawson Armstrong walker is 20 some years older than Albert, Wasan atty in both Monroe and Hamilton County Tn, Was a judge in Hamilton county, then moved to winfield county Ga and served as a Ga state senator. His son Seth McKinney Walker also was an atty serving in monroe and Hamilton county Tn, His son Seth McKinney Walker was an atty in Hamilton County and served as speaker of the house in Tennessee , died on his farm in wilson county Tn. Albert is named in the Caswell Lincoln Walker will as an illigit son. and Maranda as an illigit daughter. The birth record in Hamilton County wasn't entered into the books until 1865, a little more than 3 years after Caswell's death

It seems likely that his Last Name at Birth should be Grayson and that use of the surname Walker was adopted later. I suggest you amend the Last Name at Birth to Grayson and leave the current last name as Walker.

You must have used the same source we used for years, However that is incorrect for our Albert Harrison Walker.

Albert Harrison Walker the illegitimate son of Caswell Lincoln Walker, Was born Deb 8 1841, and was 18 in the 1860 census in stecoah Nc. Caswell Lincoln Walker family BIBLE birth page has the birth of Albert Harrison Grayson/Walker as Feb 8 1841. Caswell Lincoln Walker's wife Ann Caroline McKinney died 1839 leaving some small children, Cynthia Grayson's husband Henry died 1839 leaving Cynthia with small children. I personally went to Monroe county court house and retrieved a copy of Casswell Lincoln Walker's will, that you find poster on the ancestor sites

Hi Robert

I suggest a Research section, explaining the discrepancies between various census records and with the family bible. Certainly, the 1880 and 1900 suggests he was older. I would mark the date of birth as uncertain, given the discrepancies.

NOTE: While these Civil War records, record the events of his company, it does not confirm that Albert Harrison Walker was in those engagements.

During this time frame 1860 through 1863, he fathered 3 children and built a house in Stecoah North Carolina.
