General Notes: Husband - Andrew Walker

---

But four months old when brought by his parents to this country, he was reared among pioneer scenes. Public institutions of learning had not then been established, and he attended a private school, located quite a distance from his home, each Monday morning taking along with him enough food to last him a week, and lodging with the teacher. After marriage, he bought land in Lackawannock township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania. It was a heavily timbered tract of land, and before long he felled the giant trees to make room on which he might erect a log cabin to shelter himself and family. While this was in process of construction, he made a shelter for his household by placing long strips of chestnut bark against a large log. In the cabin, which he built of round logs, his children were born, and there he resided until his death, in the eighty-fifth year of his age.
