Notes
a. Note:   From Henry County, Kentucky, 1798-1995: A History of our Heritage, reported from the obituary of William Henry Walker:
  During the war of 1812 to 1815, James Walker enlisted and came to Indiana on a campaign against the Indians. Passing through the western part of this county (Hamilton) and being favorably impressed with the appearance of the county, he returned soon after, bringing with him a small quantity of bluegrass seed which he scattered on a small open spot in the woods. Returning again a few years later, he found the bluegrass had taken root, grown and spread to quite a patch. Finding that bluegrass would grow here impressed him so favorably that that he entered several hundred acres of land under the Homestead Act about 2-1/2 miles north of Jolietville, giving a portion to each of his three sons, William Henry, Horace and Theodore. The former, being he was married, came out and commenced to make a home, but not liking the mosquitoes and ague, which seemed to hold supremacy, went back to Kentucky. The other two came out and made their homes on some of the land mentioned above.
