Notes |
- 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.
Ann E, born about 1831, on 1850 census with family (Martha E. has this female as a child of Henry's)
J. G. born about 1836, on 1850 census with family (Martha E. says this is James I. Walker)
********************************
1821
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.
1850 Census
Henry (33), Anne E. (19), Caroline (11), J. I. (11), Daniel B. (12), H. T. (6 mos) KY/Crittenden County/District 1
1860 Census
Henry Walker (52), Hannah Walker (41), Henry T. Walker (16), Pernecia J. Walker (8), Mary E. Custard (19), James T. Custard (21) KY/Marion District 1/Crittenden County (Jamile has a copy)
1870 Census
Henry Walker (64), Hanna Walker (50), Chas. A Butler (27) and Pernisy Butler (18) KY/Crittenden County/Marion
1880 Census
Henry Walker (74) and wife Hannah (61) KY/Marion District 1/Crittenden County (Jamiles has a copy)
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.
Deed book V, page 538, Crittenden County, KY

Also all that piece of land sold by T. L. R. Wilson to Walker for which there is no deed yet made and joins the above tract [signed] Hannah (x her mar) Walker, Henry Walker. Recorded Nov 5, 1887.

[Comments from B. J. Jerome: I searched for the original will of Henry Walker and also the estate papers, but they were not found. The copy of the will is made from microfilm using a special camera, but it did not turn out very well. I tried to make a copy from the will book, but the book was bound so tightly that it was impossible to get a copy showing the entire page.]
