General Notes: Husband - James Walker
He was born in Connecticut, and came with his parents to Erie County, Pennsylvania, in 1816, from Oneida County, New York. On first coming to the county, being then just of legal age, he took up 320 acres of land in Waterford township and there spent his life, becoming a prosperous farmer. He served in the War of 1812 from New York state, being then in his seventeenth year. He was a man of good education, a member of the Christian Church, Oak Hill congregation, one of the earliest formed in the locality. In politics a Whig, he affiliated with the Republican party upon its formation.
He built in 1850, with the assistance of his sons, one mile of the Waterford and Erie Plank Road, and later constructed over three miles of the road bed of the new Philadelphia and Erie Railroad.
