Note: File Name=Charlene_Note.htm Note by myself, Lannie Walker,Sr: I had requested my cousin, Charlene Walker Brazell, for her data and thoughts regarding the birthdates for Samuel Walker's children from both of his marriages. Charlene and her brother Sam had been researching the Walkers long before I began and had collected first hand verbal information from family members of the preceding generation, including our great grandmother, Martha Jane McCown Walker Sorrel, the widow of Sampson Walker. Stated another way, she was the daughter-in-law of Samuel Walker, the patriarch of our clan. In her later life she lived with Charlene's grandparents, Samuel O. and Sarah Wharton Walker. Lannie, I hope this will help. I thought Sam had sent me copies of his census findings. I did come up with some maternal ones but not the Walkers. However, I had used his assumptions or made my own in some cases and I've listed those. In some cases I copied my actual notes. I THINK the reason I have such an exact date for Sampson's birth is that it just came out of the heads of my aunts when I interviewed them. They had fantastic memories. They did just as well on the Wharton side, too. Now later on it did turn out there was a Wharton Bible so I could see where that came from, but I don't think any of the Walker's had a Bible. Usually people know the first names of women but not their maiden names. My aunts talked in surnames, too. They said the father of their grandma Martha Jane McCown Walker Sorrel was William McCown and that he had married a Vaughn. By golly when we got more info he had married a Vaughn--Mary "Polly" Vaughn. They said Samuel Walker had married a McLeod. Until I see that is wrong, that's what I'm expecting to find. I'm not quite sure why I have such an exact set of dates on Malinda Pope. That may have come from Brazeale research.

Walker Wallace (12 May 1823 - 11 May 1875) This date came from Thad Purdue.!Census 1850 Union Parish, Louisiana, Family #340. !Census 1860 Union Parish, Louisiana, Family #920 !Census 1870 Union Parish, Louisiana, Ward 2, Family #180. Mary is a widow.Letter of 24 November, 1990 from Thaddeus T. Pardue P.O. Box 8292, Bossier City, LA 71113 to Charlene Walker Brazell: According to her tombstone she was born on 12 May 1823. She married John B. Wallace, a Methodist minister who was born about 1813 in Georgia (probably in Wilkes County), the eldest child of Benjamin Wallace and his first wife, Catherine Leverett. I do not know where John and Mary married. According to the 1850, 1860 and 1870 census records, all of John and Mary's children were born in Louisiana (Union Parish, I suppose). According to family stories, John Wallace received word in 1863 that his father in Georgia either was dying or was dead, so John took his entire family (except for his oldest son Benjamin F., who was in the Confederate army) and went to Georgia near Crawfordville to take care of his father's estate, which was quite considerable. John was appointed as the executor of his father's estate but he (John) died during the period of time that the estate of Benjamin (John's father) was being settled, leaving Mary and her children "stranded" in Crawfordville. After the Civil War was over, Benjamin F. (John and Mary's oldest son) returned from the war to Union Parish to find his family missing. After he discovered where they were, he went to Georgia, found out that his father was dead, and brought his mother and siblings back to Union Parish. Mary B. continued to live in Union Parish until her death on 11 May 1875. She is buried in the Meridian Cemetery in the eastern part of the Conway community several miles west of Marion in Union Parish. She and John B. Wallace had at least eight children. 3. Wesley Waymon Walker (6 Jan. 1825 - 17 April1914) !Death certificate #14200, Louisiana State Board of Health.The death certificate gives Perry County, Alabama, as the place of birth. However, in his lifetime, Wesley always told the census taker that he was born in Tennessee. 3. Nimrod Walker - (ca 1828 !Birthdate: Perry County Orphans Court records iindicate he is of full age as of Nov. 5, 1849. 1. Malinda Walker Pope: (12 July 1821 - 29 July 1895) On a visit in 1960 I interviewed my aunts, Altonia Walker Taylor, Jessie Walker Kelly and Ann Walker Cullins, all together and wrote down much of what they said. They gave the name of Malinda Walker's husband as Erastas Pope. Census record seemed to be "Rackley" Pope.The children they could name were: Ranse Pope, whom they said died in a northern prison, William Pope who was killed in the battle of Corinth. Frances Pope who married a Ward and became the mother of Tom Breazeale's wife. (I knew Tom Breazeale because he came from Mississippi a couple of times in my childhood to visit his Walker relatives in Shelby County, Texas. His mother was Nancy Jane Walker Breazeale, sister to my grandfather Samuel Organ Walker. In this collection is a letter to my father Vesse Eugene Walker from William Breazeale, son of Nancy Jane and brother to Tom.) Emmaline Pope and John Pope.According to the letter of Wm. Breazeale, one daughter married a Webb and one married a Woods. Aunt Ruby remembers her grandfather as having a long beard and walking with a cane. Military: A state troop was organized during "Clark's War" in 1864 under Captain John Kennedy, John C. Doss was 2nd Lieutenant, Charles Cagle was the orderly. The Privates were: William Crowson, Ira Tucker, Moses W. J. Triplett, and A. I. Triplett. From the Centennial History of Winston County: During what was know as "Clark's War" company was organized in 1865 as state troops under Captain John Kennedy: John C. Doss, 2nd Lieutenant; Charles Cagle, Orderly; And Privates: William Crowson, Moses W. J. Triplett; Ira Tucker; and A. I. Triplett. After the war was over, Ira did not return home. His family assumed he had been killed in action. One day while sitting on the porch, the family dog got very excited and took off running. They noticed a man walking toward them in the distance. The dog recognized him first and took off toward him. It was Ira. Ira was a Justice of the Peace in Winston County, MS. He performed his first marriage on May 25, 1865 (Book 4, page 171) in Winston County. He married R. H. Barnhill to Sarah L. Ownley on August 17, 1865 with G. W. Cannon as the bondsman. He married W.

Singleton, MS - With a nod to our favorite Gazetteers and using the location of where the historic<1> community of Singleton once stood, the straight-line distance<2> beginning in Singleton to: · Louisville [Map], which is the Seat of Winston County, lies 12 miles [19.3 km] to the West Southwest. If you could walk a straight line from Singleton to Louisville, with an average speed<3> of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour, it would take five to six hours to make the trip. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take nearly four hours. · Jackson [Map], which is the State Capital of Mississippi, lies 98 miles [157.7 km] to the Southwest (SW). Driving, with an average speed of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, would take less than two hours, a buggy would take three full days and walking would take 6 days. For the census Singleton would have been located in Census Region #3 (the South Region) and Division #6 (the East South-Central Division).
