Research Notes

Joel4 WALKER (William3, Capt. Alexander2, Thomas1)

He may have been the executor of his mother's estate. [6]

There's very little information about Joel and Sarah Walker, because the records of Buckingham County were destroyed by fire in 1869. She appears in her father's will, written in 1729, as "Sarah Walker" but her husband and children aren't named.[7] About 1740 there was a deed from Joel Walker to John Williamson wherein Sarah, wife of Joel Walker, relinquished her dower right.[8]
