General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Walker

---

Berry says, "The name of Walker, as appears by certain records, was so called from their anciently holding various employments in the Royal Forests, as Verderers, King's Foresters, or Walkers, having the custody of certain walks, boundaries or allotments; but at what remote period the surname of Walker, simply, was adopted by any branch of the family as a distinguishing appellation remains a matter of doubt." There are many families of this name in Bristol Isles, descendants of which have settled all over the world, and there seems to be no connection between them pointing to one fountain head, as in some patronymics. It is well represented in Burke; every biographical dictionary has several Walkers in its lists, and it is said to have the longest list of eminent men in biographical history. It was called "one of the mighty sixty" in the rolls of Great Britain, occupying seventeenth place-that is, there were sixteen families more numerous. The following line is descended from Scotch-Irish ancestors who planted the family in Pennsylvania, other branches of the family being numerous in different parts of the state and throughout New England.
