John and Jim, I was researching Isham Gwin Walker's children on Ancestry.com, and stumbled on this line of Gwin descendents. Isham Gwin Walker (s.o. Thomas Walker Jr. and Polly Gwin) had a daughter named Susannah Walker, b. 1839, who married an Edward Moore, b. 1819. in Martin County, IN in 1869. They had several children, one of whom they named after his great-great-grandfather Isom Gwin. He had two sons, Roy and Rex in 1899 and 1902. Apparently they moved to Kansas between 1910 and 1920. Did you guys know about this line? It is easy to trace it via census data. -- Mike Walker, Mar 2006

[not listed in the 15 Aug 1870 Census of Lost River Twp., Martin Co., IN, and assumed deceased]

[age 46 in 15 Aug 1870 Census of Lost River Twp., Martin Co., IN]

[John M. Gwin Note: This leaves a discrepancy with the DOB of 24.06 Anderson Walker, above, b. <1832>; therefore, perhaps the birth order is wrong or he is a different Anderson Walker.]

[Mike Walker Note: John and Jim, I noted the discrepancy in birth order, too. I think the census records support a birth date of about 1833. In the 1850 census she reported a birthdate of abt 1833 (age 17 in 1850 Martin Co., Rutherford Twp., IN). She and John already have a one-year-old child, Eliza. According to my cousin Pam Green (I think that is where the 1825 date came from) there is a marriage certificate for Manerva Walker and John Williams Simmons as follows: Married: 10 Dec 1846 in Martin Co., IN -- Marriage License: 12 Oct 1846 in Martin Co., IN. This would make her 13 years old at the date of marriage. If she was born after Anderson (say 1834) she would only have been 12 in 1846. My conclusion is that cousin Pam is wrong and the census is right. (I guess she could have married at age 13, though! I hope not.)]

[John M. Gwin Note: a search of the 1910 federal census via Ancestry.com for any wife by the name of Jara or Jora having been born in Indiana in 1885-1887 produced only one hit: Mrs. Walter (mistranscribed as "Wattie" by Ancestry.com) Williams of the city of Franklin, Franklin Township, Johnson Co., IN.  She and her husband of eight years have only one child living of one born, a son, age 8, Charlton. Further, Walter's widowed father is living with them: Mr. Isaac Williams. While not guaranteeing this to be our Jara Simmons, it does seem very likely.

[John M. Gwin Note: a search of the 1910 federal census via Ancestry.com for any Wallace Simmons having been born in Indiana in 1891 produced only one hit: Wallace Simmons, single, a hired man living with the William A. Barnett family in White River, Gibson Co., IN, the same town where his family lived in 1910. This is almost surely our Wallace.

26.05--unk. Simmons, prob. b. ca. 1895 in IN;

[Eliza A. S. Simmons reported in the 19 Jun 1900 census of Decker Twp., Knox Co., IN, that she bore five children, four of whom still lived then, and since the largest gap in the birth order was here, I'm guessing that the deceased was her fourthborn.]

Because of the dates of birth being several years off, I'm not quite convinced yet that the family of this George H. Harrison from the 1880-1930 censuses, below, is ours, so I'm listing them in the following format for now to see if there are any clues in later years (and no, I didn't find any--still doesn't mean that they are not the same family as ours, though).
