Walker genealogy, PA>NC>TN>MS, can you help??

Question

Looking to find others researching these lines. There is a William Walker from PA mid 1700's, came to Orange County(Caswell) NC. Has ties we think to Cumberland County PA. There are brothers James, William, Alexander In NC with brother John in TN. Each Walker son in each generation uses the same names for their sons: John, James, Alexander, William. There are other male names used often as well if the families are very large. John lived in Sumner County*then Davidson cty) TN
The other Walker brothers raised their families in NC. Anyone have these Walkers in your family history? We have a Talmon Walker as well and a James Matthew Walker(both lived in Noxubee Cty MX mid 1800's) that are related to this family but having a hard time fitting them into the proper branches of the family. Need help if anyone has any info. Thanks in advance.

Thanks to the first 2 responders. The names and dates you provided do not match my records. My James Matthew Walker was born in MS and lived most of his life in Sumner County TN. THanks for your help tho.

To Jan, your info on James Matthew is correct. We have all of that info but nothing certain on his parents, siblings, etc. Thanks.

Answer 3

We know that Samuel Walker's wife's name was Eleanor and that is ALL we know. PLEASE, check the above records. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see there is a major problem here!

His father: Samuel Walker
Born: abt 1730
Orange, North Carolina, USA
Died: abt 1798
Caswell, North Carolina, USA

OK - now look at the dates that accompany the so-called wife!!!!!

His mother: Spouse 1
Caroline Eleanor Cullum (NOTE: Samuel was HUSBAND 3 OF 4)
Born: 5 Jun 1821 in Stonington, New London, Connecticut, USA (SAMUEL DIED IN 1798 PEOPLE!!! HOW COULD HE MARRY A WOMAN BORN IN 1821?) Passing this on as an answer to the question is pure stupidity.

And the alternative???
Caroline Hite Lee
Born: abt 1790 in Westmoreland, Area, Virginia, USA
Died: abt 1876

So frustrating that people don't read dates.

Answer 4

Three people have William and one of his sons, also named William, on
http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi

Enter surname, given name, put "PA" in birth place and "NC" in the death place.

All three are interested in your William.
