History of Saline County, Missouri, Missouri
Historical Company, St. Louis, 1881 - WILLIAM MADISON WALKER, county collector, P.O., Marshall. Mr. W.M. Walker,
the present collector of Saline county, was born in Smith county, Tennessee, October 22,
1833, coming to Miami with his parents when but three years old, and was raised on a farm
in Moniteau county, in this state. His father, Samuel Walker, was born in 1798, in North
Carolina; his grandfather, Edward Walker, was a native of Virginia, born about 1745, and
was an orderly sergeant in the Revolutionary war, and was present at the battle of
Cowpens. His father came from England. When a young man, Samuel Walker moved with his
parents to Tennessee. Mrs. Agnes Walker, nee Bradford, the mother of William M., was born
September 6, 1793, in Tennessee. Her father, Bocker Bradford, was born in Virginia, about
1750, and was also of English descent and a soldier in the Revolutionary war. Nine
children blessed the marriage of Samuel Walker and Agnes Bradford, (one of them dying in
infancy). They moved to Moniteau county, Missouri, in 1836, and there spent the rest of
their lives. She died October 11, 1857, and he June 16, 1865. At the age of twenty-two,
December 20, 1855, William M. Walker was married to Miss May Isabel Garrett, of Saline
county, where she was born, February 5, 1834. Her father was a native Virginian, and his
father, Abel Garrett, of Scotch origin, was also a soldier in the Revolution. In 1859
William M. commenced farming for himself in Moniteau county, which he continued for six
years, and then, in 1865, moved upon a farm in Saline county. After about four years, he
moved to the neighborhood of Orearville. Industry, economy, perseverance, and a genial
disposition will readily account for the steady increase of his estate and of his
influence in the county. In 1876 he was elected county collector in a hotly contested
canvass, and the next year, 1877, he moved his family to the county seat, where he now
resides. In 1878, he was re-elected, almost without opposition, and in 1880 was elected
again, though there was a keen contest for the office this year. His election to the third
term demonstrates the satisfaction he has given his constituents as collector of the
county. His integrity is above suspicion, and the people can find no fault with him as an
official. Mr. Walker is a Royal Arch Mason, a granger and a member of the Baptist Church,
as are also Mrs. Walker and the two elder daughters. Seven children have been born to
them, all living, as follows: Narcissa, born November 1, 1857; Mary Helen, born February
16, 1861; Samuel Lee, born August 19, 1862; William Madison, born September 26, 1866;
Viola Belle, born April 16, 1869; Thomas Rooker, born August 15, 1870; Nannie S., born
February 22, 1873. (Secondary Source)

13Genealogical Information From
The Western Methodist 1833-1834, Compiled by Jonathan Kennon Thompson Smith, Elmore Walker - Departed this life on the
26th inst. [May. 16, 1834], the worthy Elmore Walker who was a citizen of this place and
brother to the venerable Jesse Walker who has spent so much of his life in the service of
western missions. Our departed friend was also the husband of an affectionate and aged
companion who is yet living and the father of several children who are now scattered over
the wide west, the most of whom, I am happy to say, have bright prospects of meeting their
father where parting will be no more. The departed father and friend has been a member of
the Methodist E. Church since an early period of his life. . . . Hence his
examples have been many and wonderful to the rising generation. He appeared to be
perfectly sensible of his death several weeks or months previous to his departure as he
was gradually wasting down with a final consumptive disease though not entirely confined
to house or bed until the last eleven or twelve days when strength and reason were
entirely withdrawn; once, however, about three days previous to his departure, being
raised in bed, in apparently tolerable good reason commenced one of the most beautiful
songs of Zion; thus departed our friend, without leaving a remaining doubt concerning his
future state. Isaac Foster, Davidson county [Tennessee] May 30, 1834 (son of Elmore Sr.)

16The Wrightsville Headlight February 1930
by Mrs. J. L. Walker, now deceased - Several months ago a notable gathering took place in the Stokes- Walker
family burial ground located on the estate of Miss Martha Stokes. The Daughters of the
American Revolution, ably assisted by Dr. and Mrs. W. J. Flanders unveiled a United States
Marker on the grave of Elisha Walker, a soldier of the War of the American Revolution.
Seven generations of this distinguished soldier were present and took part in the
unveiling exercises, among thos were Mrs. Amelia Stokes Walker and Miss Martha Stokes,
great granddaughters of the Honorable Elisha Walker. At the noon hour dinner was served by
the descendants of the soldier in a beautiful grove not far from the "Silent
Home" of him in whose honor this celebration was given. In the afternoon appropriate
services were held and prayer offered by the Rev. Reese Griffin and the Rev. Chester
Olliff. Dr. W. J. Flanders was master of ceremonies and opened the exercises, briefly
reviewing the life of the American patriot. He said in part:"No ordinary occasion
calls us together today. We are assembled to remember the fact in the worthy life of
Elisha Walker who lived in the perilous time of British invasion and Indian massacre. The
span of Mr. Walker's life extended over a period of years without any record or legendary
word of evile or aspersion thereon: surely that life was so lived as to need no other
epitaph, for virtue alone outbuilds and is more endurable than stone, marble or burnished
brass." Elisha Walker was married to Elizabeth Bowers in the year of our Lord 1787.
They had the following children: Noah, Jerymiah, Henry, Jordy, Milly, Ann, and Lott. All
of the seven children grew to manhood and womanhood and reared large families of their
own, many of whom are among some of the best children in Georgia. Some of the earliest
settlers of Richmond County were related to the Johnson and Washington County families of
Walker. There is an old church yard in Richmond County known as the Walker burial ground
and only members of this family are allowed to be buried there. The first record that we
have of Elisha Walker is that he joined No. 47 Richmond County's first Battalion and on
his military record is the following: "This is to certify that Elisha Walker hath
steadfastly done his duty from the time of pasing (sic) an act at Augusta to wit: On the
20th of August 1781, until the total expulsion of the British from the State and the said
Elisha Walker can not to my knowledge or belief, be convicted of blundering or distressing
the country: and therefore under the said act, entitled to a bounty of two hundred and
fifty acres of good land free from taxes fourteen years. Given under My Hand and Seal and
Savannah, the 24th day of February in the Year of Our Lord One Thousand Seventeen Hundred
and Eighty Four (signed) J. Houston. Attest D. Reese, Sect. (On the back of the
certificate) to the Honorable, The President and the members of the Land Court, your
petitioners prays a warrant for the within certificates in Washington County, (signed)
Elisha Walker. The two hundred and fifty acres of land that was drawn by Elisha Walker in
Washington County for services in the Revolutionary War is still owned by the descendants
of the Walker-Stokes families. Elisha Walker signed the "Oath of Allegiance" and
did his part most heroically, assisting in banishing the British Yoke fo Autocracy from
our American soil. Article copied from The Wrightsville Headlight, Wrightsville, GA,

17History of Tennesee by Goodspeed
Publishing, H. P. Walker, of the Eighteenth
District, was born in North Carolina, in 1820, and is the son of Thomas and Elizabeth
Walker, both of whom were natives of North Carolina. His father was born in 1795, and came
to Weakley County, Tenn., in about 1846, locating on a farm in what is now the Eighteenth
District, where he lived the remainder of his life, his death occurring in 1850. His
mother was born in about 1795, and died in 1847. Mr. Walker was brought up on the farm,
receiving his education at the neighboring schools, and in 1845 was married to Kisiah,
daughter of Isbam and ----- Collier, who was born in Weakley County, Tenn., in 1828, and
is now deceased. By this marriage one child, Eliza, wife of Warren Billingsby, was born to
Mr. Walker. In 1853 he purchased 100 acres of land, upon which he located, and where he
has since resided. In 1855 he married Susan B., daughter of Barnett and Sophia Winstead,
and to them have been born seven children, all of whom are living: Sophia B., wife of
Thomas Laws; Letitia A., wife of Budd Russ; William J., Granderson A., Jemima A., Mary T.

Wilson County Court Record,
Book B, Page 232, Wednesday, 9th January 1850, Lebanon, Tennessee: Celia Walker vs. Washington B.H. Walker and other heirs at law of Jas. D.
Walker, decd--Be it remembered that this cause came on for hearing before the Hon. B. L.
Ridley, chancellor on the 9th Jan'y 1850, when it appeared to the Court that James D.
Walker departed this life in the County of Wilson in the year 1849 seised and possessed of
two tracts of land being in said County: the home tract of abut 150 acres and the
other in the bend of the river of about 300 acres, the same (are shown) in the
petitions and that he left the complt Celia his widow and the said W. H. B. Walker, W. C.
Walker, Owen Walker, Elizabeth Hickerson and husband Sam'l Hickerson, Sally Cole and
husband Sam'l Cole, James Walker, Marcus Walker, Thos. Walker, Nancy Taylor and husband D.
E. Taylor and Martha Walker his children and heirs at law. George S. Williamson qualified
as his administrator. It further appeared that regular publication was made in the Lebanon
Picket (Banner of Peace crossed out), a paper published in the town of Lebanon that the
application would be made (for dower crossed out) by Complainant to have her dower
assigned in said real estate of said intestate. It is therefore decreed by the Court that
Dower be assigned to the Complt Celia L. Walker out of the real estate to be laid out of
the home tract of 150 acres in such manner as to give to the Complt the one third in value
of the whole real estate, so as to include the mansion house. It is therefore
decreed that the Sheriff of Wilson County shall proceed and summon five free holders of
Wilson County unconnected with the parties either by consanguinity or affinity who shall
proceed and mark and lay off to the Complainant one third in value of tract to be taken
off of the home tract of 150 acres in a body and make report thereof to the next
Court. It is further ordered that the County Surveyor of Wilson County shall proceed and
survey said tracts and ascertain the number of acres in each, and return a plat of the
Dower assigned to the Complainant. It is further ordered that widow Celia L. pay the costs
of this proceeding.

Walker vs. the heirs of Jas. D. Walker decd--Final Decree --Be it remembered that at the
present term of this Court the Court coming in again to be heard upon the report of the
Commissioners to assign dower which report is in the words and figures following, to wit,
"We the undersigned summoned report figures following, undersigned by the Sheriff of
Wilson County to lay off and assign to Celia L. Walker widow of James D. Walker decd her
dower out of the real estate of said decd after being sworn by the Sheriff of said Wilson
County on the premises do make the following report. We find title papers to
consist of five separate deeds composing two separate tracts of land, one in the
bend of Cumberland river above and opposite Cairo with conflicting claims on the
west and north of thirty acres leaving one hundred and forty one acres and another
tract lying on the road from Lebanon to Coles Ferry of one hundred and forty nine
acres on which the said decd lived prior to his death out of which we have assigned
dower to the widow as follows. Beginning at a stake with a cedar hickory and walnut
pointers running north with John Coles line 142 poles to a stake and sweet gum pointer.
Thence East bearing south 48 poles to a stake. Thence north with Jackson Brown's
line 22-1/2 poles to a stake thence east 108 poles to a stake. Thence south 88-1/2
poles to a cedar hickory. Thence west 60 poles to a white oak. Thence south 70 poles
to a honey locust. Thence west with Rob't Lawrence's line to the beginning
containing one hundred and twenty three acres and thirty poles which is in our
opinion the one third part in value of the two tracts of land of which the said
James D. Walker died seised and possessed of as represented in the foregoing plat. We
would represent to the said Court that we did not consider ourselves competent to
determine the disputed lines around the tract of land in the bend of the river. We
have therefore represented the interference in the above plat marked No. 1 all of
which is submitted Feby 27th 1850.
