Notes
a. Note:   July 4, 2008 -- H. Ray's Personal notes Robert III and Dorcas came to Indiana with their children about 1826. They chose the Addington Settlement where the Chester Monthly meeting was located near the present site of the city of Richmond, Indiana. The story of the Addington Settlement and the Chester Monthly Meeting is given in the Indiana Quaker Records by Heiss, Part I, page 275 and other pages. Whitewater Monthly Meeting -- organized by Addingtons ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hancock County Court Records - Probate Order Book A (1843-1950) - Page 555 Miles Walker is appointed administrator of the estate of Robert Walker dec. ? February 9, 1850 ----------------------- There were letters left in the post office in Rowan Co. Jan 23, 1800 and July 23, 1801 for Robert Walker. Boulder Genealogy Society Vol. 10 #1 page 22 It is believed he left North Carolina in 1806 or 1807. Listed in History of Hancock Co., Indiana by George Rickman was the following statement: In an early day in 1800 a man by the name of Robert Walker with his wife (Dorcas) moved from North Carolina to Hancock Co., Ind. in the dense woods of that part of the state, they built cabins from the native timber in those days; clearing away the timber which consisted of beech, hickory, walnut, poplar, hard maple, buckeye, chinkey pine and many others, making it good for farming land. They lived 20 miles east of Indianapolis until 1853 when they moved to Henpeck, now Oblong, Ill in Crawford Co. Robert Walker is listed as hosting the first meeting of Eden Chapel (M.E.) near Eden in his home as well as the homes of Blackburns, Thomas Dorson and Robinson Jarrett. Robert Walker, the father of Miles Walker, was born in South Carolina, where he grew to manhood, and after marriage removed to North Carolina: but, being an anti-slavery man, in a short time he decided to leave the South altogether and came to Indiana, where he first located in Chester, Wayne county. In 1832 he came to Green township, Hancock county, and purchased a farm of one hundred and sixty acres on Sugar creek, which he later sold and then bought another in the vicinity. IN stature he was an athlete and his weight was three hundred and sixty pounds; these great physical proportions probably proved to be the cause of his death, as he slipped on the ice on day and sustained injuries from which he never recovered, dying January 10, 1852, at seventy-six years of age. Both Robert Walker Jr. and his wife Dorcas are buried in the family plot at the Maple Grove Cemetery. The cemetery is located a very short distance from the old family farm. H. Ray visited the grave sites in May of 1971 Robert Walker's father, Robert Walker Esq., lived in Richmond, Surry Co. N.C. after his death Robert Walker Jr. received a land grand #2935 in Tenn of North Carolina on Elk River and on fork of Richland Creek, 700 acres. Robert Walker of Wayne Co., Indiana bought land 11/04/1834, Indianapolis, sec 24,/17 N6E, second meridian, 40 acres in Hancock Co., Indiana
