Misc. Notes

HIS EARLY YEARS:

Over recent years, I have exchanged a lengthy series of notes with Randy Walker (see notes with Robert Walker Esq.) and with Craig and Kathy Walker (who descend from Robert Jrs. Son Robert III). This draft is intended to incorporate their comments and corrections into my report on Robert Walker Junior.

 

In the discussions about his father, Robert Walker Esq., it is proposed that Robert Senior likely was a “Scots Irish” who came from Northern Ireland to Pennsylvania, and who then moved south to North Carolina between 1765 and 1768. However since we do not know when Robert Senior arrived in America, we do not know if Robert Junior was born in Scotland/Ireland and immigrated with his father, or if he was born in Pennsylvania after his father’s arrival.

 

Robert Junior’s birth date is taken from Quaker records, which will be discussed later. (The record would have originated in 1798, when Robert joined their church, and is presumably based on Robert's own reporting of his birth date.)

 

Our first primary reference for Robert Junior is found in 1768, when he is listed with his father on the Rowan County North Carolina Tax list. Therefore he must have been "of age" and subject to the poll tax by that year. Their home would have been in the area of modern day Walkertown, NC. See discussion notes with his father.

 

We have shown a marriage date of Robert and Mary Jones of 1775, although there are concerns about the accuracy of that date. See later discussion. If married on that date, it would suggest they had no children for the first 5 years of their marriage?

 

There are several references to Robert Junior in the Surry County Court minutes – see discussion with his father for more background. These references tell us that Robert Junior continued to live in the Walkertown area through at least February 1787, and in Surry County through at least 17 Nov 1787.

 

The evidence of where he lived is indirect, but convincing. Robert Jr. was often assigned to "view" roads. This would be a normal civic duty of the time. And such activity would normally be assigned near the person's home. (See Surry Court Minutes for 12 Aug 1779, 18 Feb 1780, 16 Aug 1780, 14 Nov 1781, 14 May 1785, 10 Aug 1785, and 15 Feb 1787.) The "clue" to the location of these roads is in the names of the other people listed: Robert was on teams that were usually sent to "view the road from David Morrows house" to various destinations in various directions, and the viewing team often included David Morrow and William Dobson. And those names are prominent in the history of modern Kernersville, NC – a Google search will tell you more about them and about the area that became Kernersville.

 

Anyway, David Morrow's house was strategically located at a major crossroads, and Robert Walker's house was just a few miles away. That crossroads is now at the corner of Main and Mountain Streets in Kernersville – and close to Walkertown. At the time it was where the Deep River Road (east – west) crossed the Intercolonial Stage Line (aka Hillsboro Road, aka Great Philadelphia Wagon Road). This latter road ran all the way to Philadelphia, and passed near Bethlehem, PA, where the Moravian settlers of the area originated.

 

Randy Walker reported: "I have a record that Robert received on 7 Aug 1787 a State Grant for 200 acres on Crooked Run of Little Yadkin River." This location would be about a mile north of the land held by his father, Robert Esq., which in turn was just north of Old Richmond. The date is about a year after his father's death. Best guess is that Robert Jr. planned to expand holdings in that area, and maybe settle there? But within a short time thereafter a decision was made to split the county in two and abandon Richmond as a county seat, and that may have put a damper on Robert's plans for the area?

 

MILITARY RECORD:

We know that Robert served in the North Carolina Militia during the American Revolution. A list of men serving from Surry County can be found at:

 

http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/ROWANROOTS/2000-12/0977979214

 

And we know that the "Robert Walker Junior" listed here is our man, again because of the names around him: Out of the 53 names listed after "Captain Henry Highland", we can find 40 of them in the Surry County Court Minutes as conducting business at the Surry County Courthouse. These are Surry County men! So there can be no doubt this is the right Robert from the right place.

 

Robert also received vouchers of a type that were normally paid for being wounded. You will find two such vouchers, for Robert Walker, Salisbury District (that would include the Surry Militia), Vouchers #678 and #1438. Given the location, there is little doubt this is OUR Robert. See the following:

 

http://www.ncgenweb.us/ncrevwar/vouchers.htm

 

There is another piece of evidence of his military service, but this one comes with problems: We found a land transaction as follows, indicating that Robert acquired land in Tennessee from rights based on his Revolutionary War service:

 

"William (Wright) 1819 Assignee of Revolutionary Warrant #584, originally issued to Robert Walker, Jr, a John Armstrong Grant, entry officer of Claims for the Western Lands; 1800 acres in Green Co TN on Duck River, beginning where the soldiers' west boundary line crosses the said river the last time, etc.; issued 10 July 1784. On 1 October 1814 Robert Walker, Jr., assigned the warrant to Thomas Wright, who in March 1819 assigned it to William Wright in the presence of Wm. Cash."

 

So what's the problem? Well, these warrants were supposed to be for "North Carolina regiments in the Continental Line", and our Robert was in the militia (i.e., NOT the regular Continental army). He therefore should have never been entitled to such a grant!

 

We do however think there a real likelihood that Robert did get this grant - but it may well have been obtained under fraudulent pretenses. Consider: Who was one of the Walker family's closest friends? Martin Armstrong.  And who was responsible for issuing the military (and other) grants? Martin Armstrong, and his brother John Armstrong. And who was at the heart of a tremendous scandal that developed over these Tennessee lands? Martin and John Armstrong. (Martin, at one time, held 50 land patents and 260,000 acres just for himself!)

 

Craig and Kathy Walker sent the following reference, which explains a little more what was going on:

 

http://www.tngenweb.org/tnland/pruitt3.htm

 

Now, for the most difficult military claim: We found an unconfirmed report that at least one of the above Vouchers was issued for being wounded at the Battle of Kings Mountain on October 7, 1780, but we have NOT been able to verify. There are some rosters available of men who fought at Kings Mountain, and Robert is not on them. However it seems that none of these rosters claim to be complete. So it may be possible, but for the moment we have to say we have no evidence that Robert fought there.

 

Other prime candidates for militia service from Surry County would be the Battle of Shallow Ford (14 Oct 1780), or the Battle at Guilford Courthouse (15 Mar 1781). The former was very near where Robert lived, the latter was the next county east, and the home of his wife's parents.

 

THE “SOUTH CAROLINA” YEARS:

The last record found for Robert in Surry was 17 Nov 1787 (he was a plaintiff in a Surry court case). He became involved again 1794 when he bought land in Surry County. We now know he was in South Carolina for at least part of this time:

 

His son, William, was born in 1790. And in the 1850 census, William reported that he had been born in South Carolina. But Robert’s next child, Mary, was born in 1792, and the 1850 census for her says North Carolina.

Kathy Walker very recently reported some new evidence: “I found (a) deed where one Robert Walker purchases 652 acres on Hunting Creek in 1794.   This “Robert Walker” is from Union, South Carolina as stated in the deed.   You will also find a Robert Walker in the 1790 Census in Union, South Carolina.” We will read later about Robert owning 652 acres on Hunting Creek, so this is very solid evidence!

 

(The 1790 Census for Union, SC, reports a Robert Walker, with 4 males under 16,  2 males 16 and over,  5 females,  11 total persons. At that time our Robert would have only himself as a male over 16, plus 3 sons under 16, plus 3 females (wife plus 2 daughters). However if we add a male hired hand with his wife, a son and one daughter, we could get there?)

 

DNA EVIDENCE:

In the next section, I will raise some slight doubt whether the Robert Walker Junior who is our ancestor, is the Robert Walker Junior who was a son of Robert Walker Esquire. However be aware there is a DNA study that pretty well proves that even if there are two different “Robert Juniors”, they have to absolutely be relatives. The DNA of our line is absolutely consistent with the DNA of other descendants of Robert Esq, or his brother David.

 

See the study cited in the notes with Robert Esq.

 

CAUTION: A PLAGUE OF “ROBERTS”!

There is another theory, that is far more troublesome to those of us who have come to believe we are descended from Robert Walker Esquire, through his son Robert: Could it be that the Robert Junior we trace BEFORE the South Carolina years, and the Robert we trace AFTER, are two DIFFERENT MEN?

 

Randy Walker has seen suggestions that at the same time Robert Esquire and Robert Junior were living in Surry County, there was another Robert Walker and Robert Junior in Guilford County. Further, Craig and Kathy Walker have an uncle (H. Ray Walker) who did some research, and Ray claimed that they were descended a Robert Jr. living in Guilford County at the time the of the famous Revolutionary War Battle of Guilford Court House, that he owned land at the site of this battle, and that this Robert Jr. had at least two children born in Guilford County. If this is true, then there have to be two different men, because the Robert Jr. who is the son of Robert Esquire is clearly dwelling in Surry County in this time period.

 

I had a look at Land Warrants in Guilford County, including the Rockingham County that was split off from the north half of Guilford in 1785. And there is indeed a Walker family present from at least 1778. And the men are using the names Robert, James, John and William. These names match those in Robert Esquire's family, but they are CLEARLY a different family. One wonders if they ultimately come from the same roots as Robert Esquire, perhaps even being descended from an unidentified brother?

 

So far, Craig and Kathy have not been able to either support or deny Uncle Ray's theory.

 

Craig and Kathy Walker also raised another problem: They found a bio for Miles Walker, that talks about Miles' father Robert III. And it says Robert III (born 7 Dec 1783 per Quaker records discussed below) "was born in South Carolina, where he grew to manhood, and after marriage removed to North Carolina . . ." This implies his father Robert II was living in SC in 1783. But the Surry Court minutes seem to place Robert son of Robert Esq in Surry County NC in roughly that time period! If true, this is serious conflict.

 

While it is possible Robert was moving about, it's awkward to explain. However the bio may have some credibility problems anyway: First, the phrase "after marriage removed to North Carolina" for Robert III may be problematic – the tax lists discussed below show that Robert II was in Surry County by 1795, when Robert III would have been only 12 years old! Second, in the 1880 census, Miles himself says his father was born in VIRGINIA! So I consider the SC connection to be very tenuous.

 

It is only about 5 miles from the Surry County home of Robert son of Robert Esq. to the edge of Guilford County, and only about another 10 miles farther to the Guilford Courthouse and the Quaker New Garden MM (see next discussion). Hopefully we will eventually show there was only one Robert Walker Jr. living in that narrow space, and our case for descent from Robert Esquire will be confirmed. I still think it MOST likely that the Robert Walker found in Surry County before 1787 and the one after 1795 are the same person, but at the moment cannot prove it “beyond a shadow of doubt”.

 

THE QUAKER CONNECTION

Robert Walker Jr. surfaces in Surry County again by 1795, and we'll discuss that in a moment. But we wouldn't be sure of him without his presence in some Quaker records from 1798, so we'll look there first. He became a Quaker when he was about 50 years old, and much information about him and his family can be found in church records. The information is readily available at Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, Vol. 1 [database online]. Orem, UT: Ancestry.com, 1998. Original data: Hinshaw, William Wade. Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, Volume 1. Ann Arbor, MI: Edwards Bros., 1936-.

 

This multi-volume series represents the complete genealogical data found in all records and minutes (known to be in existence) of all the Friends' Meetings ever organized. (Volume I) represents minutes and marriage records of the 33 oldest monthly meetings for North Carolina. Marriages, births, deaths, biographies, family genealogies, etc. have been taken from family bibles, family histories, monthly meeting minutes and records.

 

The records for the Robert Walker family, and an explanation, follows. All of these entries are from the "Deep Creek MM" (This refers to the Deep Creek Monthly Meeting in Surry County, NC. The Deep Creek Friends Meeting was founded in 1793 and is still active today, in Yadkinville, NC. This is now Yadkin County, which was originally part of Surry County.)

The first group of records above shows birth and death dates, as recorded in church records. They are pretty straightforward, but note that our "Robert Junior" is reported here as "Robert Senior". He did not enter the church until his own father had died, and he in turn also had a son named Robert, so at that time he was the "Senior".

 

The second group of records requires translation of the Quaker abbreviations. The first entry says that on 5 May 1798  Robert was "recrq" - - meaning "received (into membership) by request, rather than by transfer of membership from another Friends Meeting".

 

On 1 December 1798 his wife Mary was "rocf New Garden MM", meaning she was "received on certificate from the New Garden Monthly Meeting". In other words, she transferred a prior membership from a different church. Perhaps she was therefore the motivating force behind Robert's request for membership? ("New Garden" was in Guilford County, NC.) Further, Mary's death is also reported, which suggests she was still a member in 1853. Also her parents (Richard and Jemima Jones) were members of the New Garden Quaker Church at the time of Mary's birth.

 

Next we find that on 6 April 1799 all of Robert and Mary Walker's children are listed, indicating that they were all received into membership on the request of their father. One of these is my ancestor, William.

 

And then in various later years, we find most of the children listed again, with the abbreviation "dis", which means they were "disowned" by the church for misconduct. That translates as "…removed from membership for violation of the rules or advices in the Discipline; does not imply exclusion from worship, but only the right to participate in decision making. Unless the person later repented and "condemned" his or her own misconduct and was later readmitted into membership, he or she would not be mentioned again in the minutes."

 

For a few of the children, a reason for this is given. They are "dis mou", meaning they were "disowned" for being  "…married to a non-Friend, usually resulting in disownment; sometimes used interchangeably with "married contrary to discipline" or "married out of unity."

 

Now, this gives us an interesting piece of information about ancestor William, who was "dis mou" on 5 September 1818. We still don't know his exact marriage date, but now know that he was clearly married to his bride Catharine Kimbrel by this date! And Catharine was clearly not a Quaker.

 

Kathy Walker brought to my attention some interesting records from the New Garden MM (Page 580), from where Mary transferred her membership:

 

NEW GARDEN MONTHLY MEETING: WALKER

1798,8,25. Mary con her mou.

1798,10,27. Mary gct Deep Creek MM.

 

This completes the story, and tells us that the Friends did not accept Mary's marriage to Robert, because he was not a Quaker at the time. To get back to full membership she first had to persuade Robert to join, and that was accomplished on 5 May 1798 at Deep Creek MM. Then she had to go to New Garden, and be publicly "condemned for her marriage out of unity", per the entry on 25 Aug 1798. Then she arranged for New Garden to "grant certificate to Deep Creek" on 27 Oct 1798. Then finally she is accepted at Deep Creek on 1 Dec 1798. And to complete the process, the children still living at home are accepted on 6 Apr 1799. Now they are a unified family in the Society of Friends!

 

So, Robert Walker Jr. was a Quaker, and the Quaker's were often opposed to slavery, and census information shows Robert did not own slaves. However Robert's father had owned slaves, and not all Quakers were opposed. Where does this leave Robert? My guess is that he was (or became) opposed to slavery, in part because his wife was born into a strong Pennsylvania Quaker family that probably brought northern attitudes to North Carolina. Robert did not join the church until he was 50 years old and his father was dead, so it may have taken Mary a while to convert him?

 

TAX AND CENSUS:

Surry County Tax and Census records allow us to keep very good track of this family from 1795 through 1830. They are clearly living in the southwest corner of modern Yadkin County (split from Surry county in 1849) on Hunting Creek. And after Robert's death, we can track his widow in 1840 and 1850.

 

 Robert is absent from the Surry tax lists for 1790 through 1794. This is consistent with his stay in South Carolina.

 

TAX: In each year from 1795 through 1798 the tax list shows he has 652 acres and 1 white poll (the poll tax was the primary source of county revenue). In 1799 he has 940 acres, and in 1800 he has 768 acres.

 

CENSUS: In 1800 he has three sons age 16-25 that are consistent with any three of his four sons John, James, Richard and Robert Jr. He has a son <10 who would be our William. There are 5 young females (he only had 4 daughters, but one female could be the wife of a son).

 

CENSUS: In the 1810 census it appears that two of the oldest sons have moved out (count is not clear, think maybe there are one or two grandchildren living in house and perhaps a spouse of a son – or maybe they had hired servants). His son Richard is also found in this census, in the same county – now on his own.

 

TAX: In 1812, Robert Senior has 368 acres, and son Richard has 321 acres, each with 1 white poll – and they are clearly neighbors. Looks like Robert split his land holdings with son Richard? Note also that he is now listed as "Robert Senior", suggesting that Robert III, born 1783, is an adult presence somewhere? (Wonder if Robert III became steward of the family's Tennessee lands, since he had children born there? "Tennessee Lands" would be consistent with the land speculation of Robert Esquire and Robert Junior.)

 

CENSUS: In the 1820 Census there is one more new male, and two more new females, all under age 10 in Robert's house -- these are almost certainly grandchildren. His sons Richard and William are also found in this census on their own. (They are listed adjacent to Robert, but that could be because the census taker decided to alphabetize his work. The next record, however, shows they indeed LIVED near each other.)

 

TAX: In 1824, Robert has 800 acres with a value of $1600, Richard has 427 acres with a value of $250, and William has 468 acres with a value of $800. And they are very clearly close neighbors. (Trivia Info: Using a CPI deflator, this extended family's land value of $2650 would be worth about $60,000 today (2008). However if you use "Unskilled Wage Rate" as a deflator, it would be worth $555,000. The latter may be a better measure of how affordable this much land would be. Keep in mind that the work force includes three male heads of household plus assorted working age children.)

 

Note also, this 1824 tax record finally tells us where they lived in the county: The earlier years were simply reported as "Captain Hudspeths District", which is not geographically helpful. However in 1824 we learn it is in the Hamptonville District, on the waters of Hunting Creek. That would place them a few miles southwest of Yadkinville, where their Quaker church was located.

 

In the 1830 census Robert and his sons William and Richard very clearly live very near each other. The ages are correct for Robert (would be 82) and Mary (would be 72), and the head count and ages are exactly correct for William's family. However in Robert's house there are 3 unexplained females age 20-30, 2 males age 20-30, and one male age 15-20. These could be grandchildren, or they could be servants. None of these three Walker families own slaves. There are 26 people in the 3 households.

 

DEATH DATE:

We know Robert was present in the 1830 census, and he was gone by the 1840 census.

 

However we can suspect that most of his children, who were present in the 1830 census, stayed in NC until Robert's death. After his death, they arranged for their elderly mother to live with her daughter Mary Walker Martin (see below), and then most of them moved to Henry County, Indiana. I know from my own research that sons Richard and William moved to Indiana. Further, Craig and Kathy Walker report that they have further determined that children Robert*, Jamina and Anne also moved with their families.

 

*(Kathy reports that Robert III may have been the westward pioneer of the family, arriving in Indiana by 1828, and settling in Wayne County (adjacent to Henry County). She writes: "He was in the Wayne County, Indiana 1830 census. According to later census records, he had children born in Tennessee in 1823 and 1825 and another born in Indiana in 1828.")

 

Looking to my own ancestor William, I believe he was still in North Carolina in 1833 – because the 1850 Indiana census indicates that his child Rachel C. was born in about 1833 in North Carolina. And I know he was in Indiana in 1835 – because that is when his first wife Catharine died and was buried on their Indiana farm.

 

So best guess is that Robert Walker Junior died about 1833-35, aged 85 to 87.

But now let us introduce some confusion about Mary: I have shown a marriage date of 18 Aug 1775, and that has to be within a few years of correct. However I have serious doubts about that exact date:

 

There is a marriage record extracted from the Family History Library, County Records, Salt Lake City, UT, dated 18 Aug 1775, showing that a Mary PROWELL married a Robert Walker in Guilford County, NC. This creates obvious difficulties, since the DATE matches that assumed for the wedding of Mary JONES to Robert Walker, but the record says the name was Mary PROWELL.

 

There is NO question that the name of the "Mary" who married Robert Walker Jr. was "JONES". See the above church records. One possibility is that the transcript in the Family History Library is wrong about the name? (I have found another source in the Houston Clayton Library, but it may be quoting the same microfilm.).

 

The other possibility is that the Mary PROWELL who is in the marriage record is NOT the same person as Mary JONES, and the above marriage date was applied here in error. It is even possible that Mary PROWELL actually is the person who married Robert's father, not Robert Jr. (We know that Robert Sr. also took a second wife named "Mary" in roughly this same time frame.) I guess there is even a more remote possibility, that Robert Sr. and Robert Jr. were married on the same day? More research is needed.
