General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Walton

---

The Walton family of Delmont, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, is descended from one of three brothers who immigrated from England to America in the time of William Penn. One of these may have settled in Virginia. If so he was perhaps the ancestor of George Walton, a native of that state but a Georgian by adoption, who was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, participated actively in the defense of Savannah against the encroachment of the British during the Revolutionary war : was a member of congress from Georgia and subsequently chief justice of its supreme court. The only record relative to the origin of Judge Walton merely sates that he was of obscure parentage. From this fact it is reasonable to infer that he might have been a descendant of one of the Waltons previously referred to, thus substantiating to some extent the family tradition to this effect.
