Sarah, the widow of John Che(e)zum of Caroline Co., MD before 2 Apr. 1779. See inventory
of John Chezum/Cheezum, recorded on the above date (Caroline Co., MD Inventories Lib. JR#A
fol. 16). Sarah had four children by her first husband, John Chezum, and these may have
been the "other children" that the census records seem to indicate that Moses
Walker fathered.

- Richard Collinson purchased 160 acres of land called "Sherwin’s Chance"
from one Robert Sherwin for £320 in 1786. Richard became a planter with this

Collinson, Jr., b.ca. 1774, Henrietta Collinson, b.ca. 1779, Sarah Collinson,
b.ca. 1780. The birth order of the children has not been verified. All four children
were under age at the time of the death of their father. Richard's sister Mary, wife of
Peter Caulk, took all four children in and raised them. In 1803 the children collectively
sold "Sherwin’s Chance" to one Moses Walker. Reuben married "Sarah
Dawson" on October 27, 1807. Richard married "Elizabeth Walker" on March
14, 1797. Henrietta married "Henry Pickering" on August 10, 1802. |

Washington Reporter Newspaper - In 1818, 67 years ago, the dwelling house
of MOSES WALKER, which stood on OIKE STREET where the house of THOMAS FORSYTH now stands,
was entirely consumed by fire together with all its contents. It caught from a stable
which stood on the opposite side of the alley, where BROWN'S building now stands. The fire
was accidental and was caused by a [------?] leaving[?] [a?] fire in the stable. There was
no dwelling house burned in CANONSBURG from that time until last week, a period of 67
years. Canonsburg has certainly been remarkable fortunate as far as fires are concerned.

their deaths. They were buried in what is now Oak Spring Cemetery. The children of Daniel
who came to this country with their parents were John, Jenny, Peggy, Eliza, and Hugh. They
all settled near Canonsburg except Eliza, who married George Marshman. All were married
and raised families of children except Jenny. John McGill, the eldest, emigrated to this
country a short time before his father. He married Mary Taggart in Ireland. Her brother
Samuel also came to this town, and settled here. John McGill was elected high constable of
the borough. In 1805 he owned a horse-mill; in 1809 he kept a tavern. Later he moved to

where Mrs. Denny now lives, and where he died. His children were Mary, John, Nancy, Jane,

- WALKER, MOSES B. (1819-1895). Moses B. Walker, Supreme Court justice, was born on July
16, 1819, in Fairfield County, Ohio, the son of John and Mary (Davis) Walker. Henry Winter
Davis, the United States Representative from Maryland who played a major role at the onset
of Reconstruction,qv was his first cousin. Walker attended Woodward High School
in Cincinnati, Augusta College in Kentucky, and Yale College. After three years at Yale,
he attended Cincinnati Law School and read law in Springfield, Ohio, before opening an
office in Dayton, Ohio, and practicing law from 1846 until 1861. During this period he was
elected to a term in the Ohio Senate (1850-51). At the outbreak of the Civil War,qv
Walker volunteered and became colonel of the Thirty-first Ohio Volunteer Infantry. As a
member of Gen. George Thomas's Army of the Cumberland throughout the war, he took part in
virtually every major battle in which that army was engaged except Missionary Ridge. He
was wounded three times at Chickamauga and reportedly had to be tied in the saddle due to
fatigue and loss of blood. He was brevetted brigadier general of volunteers, served in the
Atlanta Campaign, and concluded the war with the rank of brevet lieutenant colonel in the
regular army as well as his volunteer command. At the end of the war Walker left the army
briefly and ran unsuccessfully, in 1866, for the United States House of Representatives.
He returned to active duty in 1868 and took part in the military occupation of Texas. In
April 1869 Gen. Joseph J. Reynoldsqv appointed him judge of the Fourth Judicial
District. He held that position only until November 27, 1869, when he was appointed to the
state Supreme Court to replace Albert H. Latimer.qv When the Constitution of
1869qv went into effect, Governor Edmund J. Davisqv appointed him an
associate justice on the reorganized three-man Supreme Court, on July 11, 1870. As a
member of that court in 1873 Walker wrote the opinion in the "Semicolon Court"qv
case, which ruled invalid the election in which Richard Cokeqv defeated Davis
for the governorship. The ruling did not overturn Coke's victory, however, and when Coke
appointed a new five-man Supreme Court in January 1874, under the terms of an 1873
constitutional amendment, Walker lost his position on the bench. Immediately upon the end
of his tenure on the court, Walker left Texas and moved to Kenton, Ohio, where he resumed
law practice. After serious injury in a fall in December 1879, he retired and lived on a
farm in the suburbs of Kenton. Walker was married twice: to Maria Van Skyack in 1842 and,
following her death in 1853, to Mary Hitt in 1855. With his first wife he had three
children, and with his second, eight. Walker held the highest office in the Texas state
government attained by any "carpetbagger"qv during the era of
Reconstruction.qv He came with the army, almost certainly with no intention to
stay in the state, but his motivation appears to have been primarily that of a Unionist
patriot. During the war he had made speeches intended to build support for the Union
military effort. As a lawyer and judge he was, in the words of James R. Norvell,qv
who served on the Supreme Court nearly a century later, "a lawyer of ability [who]
possessed some literary talent. Even the Semicolon decision demonstrated that he was a
skilled technician." Moses B. Walker died at Kenton, Ohio, in 1895.

James Kelley was born about 1785, and died
Nov. 18, 1849, on his plantation on the Yocoma River in LaFayette County, Mississippi,
where he was a prosperous farmer. Before moving to Mississippi about 1845, he had lived in
Georgia., probably in Jones County, not far from Macon, and then in Coweta County for a
few years. He was married twice, and left ten children and many descendents today in
Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas.
His first wife died in Georgia after the birth of eight children. I do not know her name
for certain, but it may have been Mary Wyatt. His second wife was named Harriett. She was
much younger than James Kelley, and after his death she married James Harrison and lived
in LaFayettte County until she died about 1855. by Mrs. Rudene Kelley Morris, amendum:
Rudene passed away Feb 25, 1985.

3. See "Coweta County History (Coweta County, Georgia)
James was born in 1789, the son of William Kelley in Wilkes County, Georgia. His parents
died before he was ten years old. His uncle Moses Walker raised James and his
sister Jane. James and Jane drew land in the 1807 land lottery, being eligible as
orphans, in Jones County, Georgia. He had eight children by his first wife (name
unknown), and lived on the a farm near the Ocmulgee river in Jones County, Georgia.
James and his family came to Coweta County after its formation in the 1825-26. The family
later moved to Butts County and returned to Coweta County between 1828 and 1832. He, also,
owned land in Carroll and Randolph County, GA (Source: James H. Kelley)
In 1832 James purchased about 810 acres in Coweta County in the area of Madras. James was
a trustee of Concord Methodist Church, between Palmetto & Newnan, on the Old
Campbellton Road, Coweta County, Georgia. About 1840 his first wife died, and he
married Harriett (last name unknown). Harriett and James moved to Lafayette County,
Mississippi in 1845.

and his wife were taxable "Mulatoes" in Bladen County in 1768, taxable
"free Negroes" in 1770 and 1771, "Mixt Blood" taxables in 1774, and
taxable in 1775. His wife was probably Mary Walker, a "free Negro" head of a
household of one Black from 12-50 and one over 50 or under 12 years of age in 1786 [Byrd, Bladen
County Tax Lists, I:7, 26, 67, 124; II:39, 175]. Mary was head of a Fayetteville,
Cumberland County household of 1 "other free" in 1790 [NC:42] and 3 in 1800.

HAWES
SCHOOL MEMORIAL - MOSES WEBSTER WALKER. The next master of the school was a man
of quite a different temperament from his immediate predecessor. In fact there ould
scarcely be found two men more widely contrasted in their methods of discipline than
Masters Page and Walker.
Moses Webster Walker, A.B., was the son
of Benjamin and Hannah (Webster) Walker, of Atkinson, N. H., at which town he was born
June 17th, 1810. He was educated at
Dartmouth College, Hanover, N. H., graduating at that institution in the class of 1831. A
year after his graduation, when he was but twenty-two years of age, he was appointed
principal of the Hawes School.
He assumed the charge of the school as the successor of Mr. Page and as the sixth master,
on the 28th of August, 1832. He knew of the disorganized condition of the school, and he
was resolved to put a stop to the outrageous conduct of the scholars and to assert his
authority in a manner that should admit of no doubt as to his intentions. An opportunity
for this purpose presented itself on the very first day of his experience as master. His
attempts to preserve order were opposed and ridiculed by a boy named Harrington, who was
called to the platform and severely flogged for his offensive conduct. Master Walker's
first words to the school indicate him as a man of firmness and
determination, whatever may have been his other qualities. Part of his account of this
affair to the committee is here given :
" I found the scholars collected and in great disorder. I took the chair, stamped
loudly upon the floor, and called the school to order. And here for the first time
Harrington attracted ray attention, by continuing his talk and laughter. I again enjoined
silence, directing my remarks particularly to Harrington, after which the house was still.
I then said : ' Hear me. I see many things which I do not like, and which must not be
continued. I am about to command you to do some few things, and I shall speak but once. Be
careful to obey me promptly, as a failure in this respect will expose you to certain
punishment.' Seeing a great part of the scholars supporting their heads upon their hands,
with elbows upon their desks, I said to them, ' The first thing which you are to do is to
take your elbows from those desks.' This was instantly done by all except Harrington, to
whom I again addressed myself, in a manner which left no room for his mistaking my
meaning. Upon this he removed his elbows from his desk, but assumed a smile in which I
read his character. The children were then told to fold their arms, and to remain in that
position until further orders. This was done; but I now observed that Harrington and two
or three in his immediate vicinity were casting looks at each other and laughing. They
were ordered to take those smiles from their faces ; whereupon Harrington removed his arms
from
the position in which he had just been commanded to hold them, placed his elbows on the
desk, his hands before his face, and continued laughing and looking from behind his hands
at the boys about him."
Master Walker goes on to state that after this third exhibition of his indifference he
thought it necessary to make an example of the boy. He was accordingly called to the
platform, flogged several times and made to perform several tasks. These he did
reluctantly at first, but finally submitted with a good grace, and was then allowed to
take his seat.
This occurrence was the occasion of considerable excitement upon its becoming known
outside the school limits. The father of the boy whipped, Mr. Leonard Harrington,
complained to the committee that his son " was cruelly beaten and wounded by Mr.
Moses W. Walker, master of the Hawes School, South Boston, for no such misconduct on the
part of the boy as would have justified tlie infliction of even moderate chastisement,
much less the aggravated whipping he received." Ho requested an investigation, with a
view of obtaining redress in case his charges against the master were sustained. The
investigation was held, and the master defended his conduct in a straightforward manner as
appears from the foregoing extract. It seems evident from this account that the boy was a
very refractory pupil, probably a ringleader of others, and certainly needed strong
measures to repress him. The case was referred to a special committee appointed by the
school committee. Both sides were heard, the evidence of pupils present at the time of the
affair was taken, and the opinion of a physician who was called to examine the wounds was
given. From all this testimony it appeared to the committee that the master was not angry
at the time he punished the boy, but was perfectly cool, and that the boy's injuries were
not such as to show cruel punishment. Master Walker was therefore sustained by the
committee, and he continued his course of punishment for nearly a year and a half, until
he had brought the school to a good state of discipline.
This description affords an excellent illustration not only of the local but of the
general system of discipline in the Boston schools of half a century ago; for it must be
remembered that at that time the infliction of corporal punishmentwas much more common in
the schools than at the present time. Master Walker was probably not more severe in this
respect than were many of his cotemporary masters ; and when we consider his youth —
being but seven or eight years older than some of the oldest boys, and at an age when the
temptation to give way to excitement and passion is often too powerful to successfully
resist — the wonder is that he controlled himself so well, not that he punished so
often, when the low state of the school at that time is kept in mind.
But while Master Walker may have secured the proper obedience and discipline in his
pupils, the main question remains to be answered ; — whether the system of bodily
whipping has a tendency to bring forth the highest forms of school education by inspiring
fear of the master and so compelling the pupil to learn his lessons. The system of
corporal punishment has been frequently discussed. It has been both defended and denounced
with vigor for many years ; until, thanks to the advancing civilization of the present
day, it has mainly disappeared from our school system. The plan of learning lessons under
compulsion is of little value ; and that education is the poorest which is inspired
by fear of, not love for, the master. Compulsory lessons are soon forgotten, and the time
bestowed on them is mostly wasted. But that system which creates an interest in his
lessons in the mind of the pupil, and which fosters that interest by extraneous and
ingenious ways, is of all methods the best yet discovered to enable the pupil to retain
and remember what he has learned ; and such a system can best begin by the scholar having
a respect and love for his teacher, so that he listens with interest and not with
indifference to what is told or explained to him. Such a system, as will shortly be seen,
was soon put in practice at the Hawes School with the best results.
Master Walker was not only sustained in his government of the school, but was promoted;
for in 1833 he was made equal in rank to the masters of the other schools, a position
since held by all the masters. But while he had the confidence and support of the
committee, he did not succeed in winning the respect of the citizens of South Boston who
were opposed to his severity of discipline ; and after a term of nearly a year and a half
he resigned his position on the I4th of January, 1834.
He was immediately appointed grammar master of the Mayhew School. This school was
considerably older than the Hawes, having been founded in 1803, at the corner of Hawkins
and Chardon Streets, at the request of the citizens of West Boston who needed another
school. It was originally a school for boys, and was named for the Rev. Jonathan Mayhew in
1821. It afterwards became a school for both sexes, and remained on its original site
until 1847, when another school-house was erected on Hawkins Street, at some little
distance from the first one. The school was discontinued in 1876. Mr. Walker succeeded Mr.
William Clough as grammar master in 1834 at the old school building, and while in charge
of it he had the assistance of Mr. Aaron Davis Capen as writing master, who was formerly
an assistant at the Hawes School, and has been previously noticed in this work. The Mayhew
School was finally organized under one head, and for boys only.
While master of the Mayhew School, Mr.
Walker was married on the 30th of April, 1834, to Miss Sophia Rebecca Cutter, daughter of
Edward and Elizabeth (Nutting) Cutter, of Charlestown, Mass. By this marriage he had two
sons. His eldest son, Edward M. Walker, was a volunteer in the Union service during the
Rebellion, and was present at the battle of Bull Run as a member of the Fifth Regiment
Mass. Volunteers.
Master Walker's life was a brief one. He
died at Boston on the 22d of November, 1838, at the early age of twenty-eight years, five
months and five days, and was the first
of the masters of the Hawes School to pass away. He governed the Hawes School for a period
of a year and a half, and the Mayhew School for nearly five years until his death. It is a
fair presumption that had lie lived to more mature years he would have made an
excellent master. His defects were seemingly those incidental to youth. In character he
appears to have been self-reliant, energetic and firm, and in intellectual training he was
apparently well equipped. In his service of over six years as an instructor nothing
appears against him that the committee could condemn, and when advancing age had given him
that steadiness and reflecting power that comes with it, his record for efficiency and
usefulness would probably have made him a teacher of high reputation. That he was rash,
eccentric in his system of punishment and possibly headstrong, maybe admitted; but that he
was intentionally violent or cruel in his methods is a charge that cannot be sustained by
any evidence in his career.
Master Walker's widow remained as a teacher at the Mayhew School for several years after
the death of her husband. |
