Biography

James was born abt 1696. He passed away in 1753. While not completely verified, there are many reasons to believe that James Walker was part of YDNA Group 5^[2].

It appears that some of his descendants migrated to Sugar Creek, North Carolina^[3] in the 1760's. How these descendants fit into the greater tree is still not precisely known.
