St. Paul's Parish in New Kent County, VA (later Hanover County) was part of the Church of England, the only official church in the Colony of Virginia. All marriages at that time had to be performed by the Church of England or they were not considered legal. After the American Revolution this church became the Episcolap Church.
A member of the St. Paul's Parish at that same time was Abraham Cooke, father to Frances Cooke. Abraham Cooke is mentioned in the St. Paul's Vestry Book, page 23 and also Edward Garland - a church Warden - is mentioned repeatedly. | Family F0111

At the time of their marriage, J. W. Kappler and L. A. Walker both lived in Advance, Stoddard County, MO. J. M. Walker (stating he was her "father") gave his verbal consent to the marriage, because Lizzie was less than 18 years of age at the time. License was issued in Bloomfield, MO on July 16, 1887.

Thanks to Marty Cummins for all of the information on Louis and his descendants.
He lved all his life in Bollinger and Cape Girardeau counties, dying in the Gordonville area.
I have a great picture of Louis Daniel and his wife Polly, from Marty Cummins.
Per Marty Cummins: Louis' first marriage to Elizabeth Statler in 1877 was at John Statler's home by E. H. Self, J.P. Louis' second marriage was to her sister Polly (Mary) Statler in 1882 at John Statler's home, also by E. H. Self, J.P.
Louis and his wife Polly raised Price Bollinger, son of Joseph Bollinger (Blind Joe). | HARMON Louis Daniel (I1922)

There may be other children. These were not included in papers from Brenda J. J., but other researchers have them as children of Henry and An
Charles Henry Walker, born about 1835.

Joined Bethany-Marion Presbyterian Church, according to the official church record book. [Jamile has a copy of the compiled list from Crittenden County Historical Society]
The following were possibly children of Henry Walker, but needs to be proven, per B. J. Jerome.
1. Daniel Black - born May 29 1839, died Aug 31 1884 and buried Repton Cemetery. he married George Ann Burton. Note the year of his birth - the same year as James i. Walker. This makes it rather doubtful that Daniel B. was a son of Henry and Ann Walker.
2. Pernecia J. - married Charles A. Butler April 11 1869. No proof.
1840 Census
The Livingston County, KY census shows that Henry Walker had 2 males under age 5, 2 males between 5 and 10, 1 male between 10 and 15, 2 females between 5 and 10, 1 female between 10 and 15, plus a male and female between the ages of 30 and 40. If the younger people were the children of Henry and Ann Walker, they had a total of 8 children. More research is needed to determine the names of all of Henry and Ann's children.

1880 Crittenden County census shows he was born in Tennessee. This is important as it identifies the migration trail the Walker family took from Mechlenburg County, NC to old Livingston County, KY. This is a common migration trail and it is very possible other Livingston County families followed the same trail, either with the Walkers separately. This is especially true of the Wilson family, who left Mecklenburg County, settled briefly in Maury County, TN before moving to the northern part of old Livingston County, in what is today the Bells Mines area of Crittenden County. It is also believed the Phillips family came out of Mecklenburg County.

There was a Moses Walker, Jr. mentioned as an appraiser of the estate of Moses Walker. Some researchers believe this was an additional son, but it could be a nephew or cousin. (?) [from Livingston County, Kentucky Estate Records 1799 - 1842, compiled by Brenda Joyce Jerome, 2004]
Rev. War Pension deposition of Moses' brother James Walker says that his brother was born in York County PA in 1762, then moved to Mecklenburgh County, NC at the age of 7. Moses and Mary Walker lived on Goose Creek in North Carolina. He was a farmer, but he also may have been a blacksmith, as he left his smith tools to his son, John. in his will. He left North Carolina following the birth of his first four children, stopping somewhere in Tennessee (it is thought ot have been McMinn County), where three other children were born.
Moses moved to Livingston County, KY from Tennessee around 1806, according to some researchers. Sybil Hunt said they arrived in Kentucky in 1807 and settled near where Rosebud church was later built. However, Moses was a charter member of Bethany-Marion Presbyterian Church and it ws founded in 1803. He was an elder of that church.

Moses Walker witnessed a deed between John Wilson of Macklenburgh (sic) County, NC to Joseph Newcom. It is likely that Moses Walker also came from Mecklenburg County, NC, and he settled in the same part of old Livingston County as the Wilson brothers from Mecklenburg County.
Nov 1817 Deed Book C, page 318
Moses Walker conveyed to Thomas S. Phillips a tract of land containing 130 acres on the Tradewater River, being part of 300 acres entered and surveyed for Mathew Walker. This indicates that the land was probably assigned to Moses Walker by Mathew Walker, possibly another indication of a famly relationship. Matthew Walker had 380 acres of land surveyed on the Tradewater River on Aug 13, 1807 according to Willard Jillson, Kentucky Land Grants, "Grants South of Green River, page 426.

This James is the namesake for the second son of Anstis and Ben Sims of Clanton, AL
September 12, 1918: Registration card for WWI shows the name of James Copeland (Coplin?) Sims, 33. At the time he registered for the military, James was living at 2213 6th Avenue North, Birmingham, AL. This was the last address for his brother Ben before Ben enlisted the year before. He listed as his nearest relative his brother Ben, who was stationed at Company H, 23rd Infantry, Camp Jackson, Columbia, SC. James was listed as medium height, medium build, blue eyes, dark hair.
James left Alabama for Denver, CO. He was a good bit older then his siblings, who went to live with their uncle Thomas B. Sims. In an interview May 25, 2002, James (son of Anstis and Ben) said he remembered visits to see his Uncle Jimmy in Colorado. Jimmy ran a store in Denver. They used to try to make the trip close to July 4th "because Uncle Jimmy would always get lots of fire works from his store and they would shoot them on the holiday".

Veteran of American Revolution. (DAR) Jamile has a typed copy from ancestry.com
1798 Georgia Tax Index shows Jesse Vaughn in Burke County, District 4, page 4B.
Book: Families of Burke County, GA, page 297 says that Jesse left Burke county around 1805.
Jesse Vaughn moved from Burke County to Wilkinson County, GA in 1805. He was a wealthy landowner. His will was recorded in 1825 and he died in 1828.
He lived for a while in Washington County, AL
The "History of Wilkinson County" by Victor Davidson (1930) pp 214-215 lists Jesse Vaughn as one of the veterans of the Revolutionary War who took part in the visit of General Lafayette in 1825. Lafayette reviewed the militia and then embraced each veteran.
From Linda Aubrey:
A collection of Wilkinson County, GA historical papers was published in 1973 by Joseph T. Maddox of Irwinton, Georgia. Jesse Vaughn's will (dated September 10, 1825) was included and among those listed as a benefactor was Polly Lowe, a daughter. James Lowe was listed as an executor.
Had a slave named Blind Alec.
Feb 2006: from Bob Willett: I am a direct decendents of Sarah Lowe and Jeremiah Willett.
From Bob Willett June 30, 2006: When Jesse made his will in 1825 I don't believe he was married because he did not mention a wife and he was going to sell all of his household and kitchen furniture and livestock. If he had a wife at that point, he would not have sold furniture.
Jesse Vaughn's will mentions a grandaughter Mariah McMillian and a grandson Alexander McMillen. However, he does not mention a daughter with a last name of McMillen. It's possible she had remarried by the time he did his will, or that she had previously died. Update 8/14/06 Bob says Jesse's daughter died before 1825.
1820 Census: Was in Wilkinson County, GA, along with sons William and John, and daughters Elizabeth and Eliza.

Marvin J. Wolf, president of IWOSC [www.iwosc.org/mwolf.htm] delivered a speech during the Banned Library Books Week in 1995 saying: William Cosby was a coward and a thief. He was fairly stupid, he was a bully and he rigged elections. He also fired officials without authority, plundered treasuries and swindled property owners. He manipulated legislators and judges with bribes of money and position. Cosby was also Governor of New York, a relative by marriage and close friend of the Queen of England.
During his tenure as governor, William Cosby had John Peter Zenger arrested for libel. Back in 1735, it was illegal to say anything bad about those in office, even if it was true. William Cosby (1682) had Peter Zinger, a publisher, arrested for liable. The trial of John Peter Zenger, in 1753, was a precedent setting case, in that Zenger was found not guilty of the charge of seditious libel, specifically because what he printed was true. This began a nation wide movement against the present form of government and for freedom of the press, which continued until the close of the Revolutionary War and the establishment of the Bill of Rights and the First Amendment.
