1. -- I met Fifth Cousin Jim Wall online not long after I'd created my webpage for Isham Gwin, my (and his) gggg-grandfather. I'd made the trip to east Tennessee in the summer of 2003 to find anything on this Isham I could, and when I found the deed to his land in Seveir Co., I drew a map of his farm from the survey and put it online. It didn't take Jim long to find me after that, and the more notes we compared, the more obvious it became that his Isham and mine were one and the same. He descends from Isham's and Mary's daughter Elizabeth who married David Denton.

2. -- Then in Dec 2005 I met online my double fifth cousin, Mike Walker, who provided me with most of the following information on the descendants of Isom Gwin Walker. Jim Wall had already provided me with the names of Tom's and Polly's kids. Here are our three separate lines:

Subject: Thomas Walker's second wife Jane

Hi guys, I was poking around on Ancestry.com trying to find a marriage record for Thomas Walker and Polly Gwin. Not successful, but I did find a marriage record for a couple who must be Thomas and his second wife, Jane.

Indiana Marriages, 1802-1892 Record about Thomas Walker

Name: Thomas Walker; Spouse: Jane Crim; Date: 4 Feb 1837; County: Martin; State: Indiana; Source: Family History Library, Salt Lake City, UT; Microfilm: 1316952 & 1436077
I also found another marriage that is interesting: Indiana Marriages, 1802-1892 Record about Thomas Walker.
 Name: Thomas Walker; Spouse: Ann Queen; Date: 28 Mar 1842; County: Martin; State: Indiana; Source: Family History Library, Salt Lake City, UT; Microfilm: 1316952 & 1436077
I don't have a clue about this one, do you guys? Wonder which Tom this is? I also did searches on Walker with keywords Martin, Orange, Crawford, Harrison, and Daviess. See attached PDF's   Bunches of 
mystery Walkers.  Mike in SC
Looking for Tom and second wife, Jane, in the
1850,
1860, and 1870 censuses:

OK, here's another interesting piece:
From the 30 Sep 1850 census of Rutherford Twp., Martin Co., IN:
Residence #83, Family #83:

Thomas Walker, 59, male, farmer, $300 real estate, b. Tennessee, cannot read and write

Jane Walker, 59, female, b. Kentucky, cannot read and write

Anderson Walker, 18 male, farmer, b. Indiana

Eliza Simmons, 18, female, b. Indiana


This could very well be our Thomas Walker and this second wife, Jane, living with his youngest son, Anderson, and someone named (his bride/fiance/family friend?) Eliza Simmons.  They are living in the same Indiana county, Martin, as Thomas and Polly's son Isom Gwin Walker.

Let's see if we can find them in 1860.

OK, here're Thomas and Jane,  each 67 and b. in TN and KY, respectively, living in Halbert Bluff, Columbia Twp., Martin Co., IN. Living next door is a Sarah Walker, 25, b. IN, in the home of John, 30, and Mary, 24, Walpert, and their four young children. I believe that Mary Walpert and Sarah Walker could be two of Anderson's sisters.

And here is Anderson, 28, also living in Halbert Bluff, Lost River Twp., Martin Co., IN, with wife Margreate, 28, and children James, 7; Wm. H., 5; Thomas, 3;, and John, six months. (Living next door is Hannah Walker, 35; and children Mary, 14; Thomas, 11; Wm. H., 9; and M. A., 7, a daughter.)  I believe that Hannah could be the widow of one of Anderson's brothers.

Shall we try in 1870?  Hmmm. Nothing confirmed yet on Thomas or Anderson--maybe one of Anderson's kids:



Here are Tom's and Polly's nine known kids:

1.  Isom Gwin Walker, m. Clarissa Thurston
2.  Elizabeth Walker, m.  Robert J. Wright
3.  James Walker,
4.  Thomas Walker,
5.  Mary "Polly" Walker,
6.  Anderson Walker
7.  Mahala Walker
8.  Minerva J. Walker m. John William Simmons, Jr.,
9.  Houston Walker,

And now here they are again in greater detail:



24.01--Isom Gwin Walker, b. ca. 1815 in TN; m. 13 Jan 1835 (first taken from children's ages in 1850 then from their marriage certificate) in Martin Co., IN, to Clarissa Thurston (b. ca. 1816 in MA; d. bef. 1880); 11 known ch.

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

John,
...I am the daughter of Thurston T. Walker (and Emma Cross), son of Thomas Thurston Walker  (and Mabel Tweeten), son of Thomas Thurston Walker (and Bertha Weedman) , son of Isom Gwin Walker II (and Margaret Childers), son of Isom Gwin Walker I (and  Clarissa Thurston)...
Taffy

The first (25.09--) Thomas Thurston Walker (as you know) was the son of Isham (sp?) Gwin Walker, Sr., and Clarissa Thurston.  He was born in 1854 in Indiana, married Lucinda Riley, and died in Illinois 1926.  He established the Walker line from which Mike Shelby Walker descended. According to the way Ancestry.com calculates relationships, this Thomas Thurston Walker is my gg-granduncle.  When I first started working on my genealogy, I had a hard time not mixing him up with my great grandfather and may have incorrectly attached censuses, records, etc placing his death in Indiana -- I think I have fixed this now. 

The second (26.04--) Thomas Thurston Walker was my great-grandfather who was the child of Isham (sp?) Gwin Walker, Jr., and Margaret Childers.  He was born in Indiana (maybe Boone or Martin Co.) in 1881 and married Bertha Weedman (of Pike Co, IN) in 1905.  By the 1910 Census, "Big Tom" Walker (he was a mountain-sized man) and Bertha were living
in Adams Co., ND,  with their 3-year-old son  (my grandfather), (27.01--) Thomas Thurston Walker II and younger sons Robert and Paul.  Also living with them was another man, 28-y-o Osker (Elmer) Louis who had come from Indiana with Big Tom.  (Mr. Louis appears on all the censuses for 1910-1940 with Big Tom as a farmhand, but I wish I knew whether there was some other connection, as this is an awful long time to work for someone with little or no pay -- he is just another unsolved mystery.)

Big Tom was also accompanied in his move from Indiana to North Dakota by his parents, Isham Gwin Walker, Jr., and Margaret Childers Walker, as you can see in the 1910 Census.  Although I had very little from my father on our genealogy, I do remember that when I was in my later teens, my dad told me that he knew his great-grandparents had lived in a "soddy" in North Dakota.  If this is true, I can understand a rationale for why they ended up buried in Virginia:  their eldest daughter, Laura Emily Walker (wife of Fred Hagen) who also appears in the 1910 Census in Hettinger, ND, moved to Virginia.  Conditions in ND were very bad, and perhaps when she moved to Virginia, she also moved her elderly parents with her hoping to improve life for those elderly folks, too.  Unless you have other information, I place their final resting places in New Kent Co., Virginia (quite a change in terrain from ND!!)  Laura and her husband seemed to have done well in VA, and she is (I believe) buried in Richmond, VA. (She had daughters, but I have not figured out who in that line to contact  -- another genealogy project to work out.)

But I digress.  By the end of the 1930s life in ND had taken its toll on the Walkers, and they were shattered and scattered.  Bertha with all of her young daughters can be found in the 1940s Census for Portland, OR.  Most of the Walker sons pulled up stakes and relocated to Oregon or other western states.  Big Tom Walker was still in ND on the farm in ND in the 1940 Census, living with his son
(27.07--) Lynn and Lynn's wife (also) named Bertha and the ever faithful, Oscar Louis.  I do not know where Big Tom is buried or exactly when he died, but my mother recalls that he had cancer, and Bertha, his wife, returned from Oregon to nurse him at the end  -- but I don't know if she is right. 

Big Thomas Thurston Walker and Bertha Weedman had 11 children in ND.  Their eldest, my grandfather, was named
(27.01--) Thomas Thurston Walker, born 1906.  Since his father was called Tom, he was called Thurston.  Thurston married Mabel Tweeten, and together they had 5 sons and 1 daughter  My father (called Tom) was the eldest son and through an error was named (28.01--) Thurston Thomas Walker. (See above)  When Mabel was pregnant with my Uncle Billy, Thurston deserted his wife and family in ND and moved to Oregon were he died in 1967. My father was the only one who had any contact with the "Oregon Walkers", and after he died in 2010, I realized I knew next to nothing about my kin.  I never met my grandfather Thurston or my great-grandmother Bertha, although they lived in Oregon until the mid 1960s.  It would be nice to close the chasm, but I might be too late for this life.

So, this is my (sad) story of the four Thomas Thurston Walkers.  I hope it contributes in some small way to your continued genealogical study.  Let me know if any thing is inconsistent with your data.

OBITUARY


David Albert Walker passed away on Wednesday, September 26, 2012, at St. Alphonsus Hospital in the arms of his two children, Jody and Justin.

David was born on February 15, 1952, in Emmett, Idaho, to Charles and Pearl Walker as the oldest of four children. During his early childhood his family lived throughout Idaho, Oregon and Montana. In eighth grade his family returned to Emmett.

As a teen, Dave worked for Sanders Farms, ran track, and was a member of the high school choir. After a year at Boise State University, Dave was married and returned to Oregon to pursue his dreams.

At the age of 20 Dave began his career for Tektronix, Inc.  He obtained an Honorary Doctorate from Oregon State University.  Dave was a Corporate Industrial Engineering Manager. His successes allowed him to fulfill his dreams of owning a boat to fish in and a cabin at the beach.

He took an early retirement after 20 years with Tektronix.  His passion for boats led him on a new career path, selling for Bayliner.

David was a single father to his two children and raised them with unconditional love and support.  David returned to Emmett in 1992 and later met his loving wife, Dorothy, at church. They were wed in 2002, and he acquired three stepchildren and four grandchildren, all of whom he treated as his own.  He retired from sales in 2008.

His years of retirement were spent with his wife, mom, children, and grandchildren, boating, fishing and camping.  Our beloved dad put all others before himself.  He was tenderhearted and adored his family.  We all know how much he loved us, which is the greatest gift he could have ever left behind.

Dad was charming, gracious, generous, and humble.  He loved God, and we are comforted that we will be together again in eternity.  He was a big guy, with a contagious smile, a huge heart and a love for small things, like his darling camper, the "marsh mellow".  He was truly adored by his family.  He was a one-in-a-million dad, "Papa", husband, son, brother and friend. We are brokenhearted to lose him unexpectedly and at such a young age.  We will carry on his legacy of love and loyalty.

David is survived by his wife, Dorothy; his mother, Pearl Walker; his children, Jody (Kelly), Scott, and Justin (Amber) Walker; stepchildren, Shawn, Angelina, and Forrest; grandchildren, Jack Burke, Cody Scott, Kaden, and Logan Walker, Aubrey and Mathew Williams, Allyson and Amanda Nida; siblings, Coleen Matuska, Carl and Darrell Walker; and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his father, Charles Edward Walker, and his best friends and cousins, Allen and Brad Walker.

A celebration of life will be held October 14 at 2:30 p.m. at Wild Rose Park in Emmett, Idaho.

24.08--Minerva J. Walker, b. 1825; d. 5 Nov 1856 in Martin Co., IN; m. 10 Dec 1846 in Martin Co., IN, to John William Simmons, Jr., (b. 1 Mar 1826 in Lost River, Martin Co., IN ; d. 1875; son of John William Simmons, Sr., and Elizabeth Conrad;  marr. lic. obtained 12 Oct 1846 in Martin Co., IN);


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

[listed as John Simmons, age 36 in 30 Aug 1860 Census of H___ Bluff P. O., Lost River Twp., Martin Co., IN]
[listed as John Simmons, age 46 in 15 Aug 1870 Census of Shoals P. O., 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:  Minerva is named in the probate of Isham Gwin's will.  We know that the probate occurred after his wife's (Mary Canterbury Gwin's) death, and we know that Mary Canterbury Gwin was alive in the 1850 census.  I think this means that Minerva was alive at least as late as 1850.]

[listed as Patrick Simmons, age 16, in 15 Aug 1870 Census of Shoal's P. O., Lost River Twp., Martin Co., IN];
[listed as Patrick Simmons, brother, age 27 and b. in IN/IN/IN, in 15 Jun 1880 Census of Lost River Twp., Martin Co., IN, and lvg. w/the fam. of his bro. Wm. O.];
[listed as "Patrick", age 47 and b. Jan 1853, in the 19 Jun 1900 census of Decker Twp., Knox Co., IN]
;
[listed as "Patrick", age 57, in the 16 Apr 1910 census of Hazleton, White River Twp., Gibson Co., IN]


[listed as "Eliza A.", age 44 and b. Nov 1855, in the 19 Jun 1900 census of Decker Twp., Knox Co., IN]
;
[listed as "Eliza A.", age 55, in the 16 Apr 1910 census of Hazleton, White River Twp., Gibson Co., IN]
26.01--Jara B. Simmons, b. 10 Oct 1885 in Martin Co., IN;
[listed as "Jora B.", age 14 and b. Oct 1885, in the 19 Jun 1900 census of Decker Twp., Knox Co., IN]
[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.
Patrick Simmons m2. 19 Apr 1888 to Eliza A. Stone;
26.02--Clarence Simmons, b. 25 Feb 1889 in Martin Co., IN;
[listed as "Clarence", age 11 and b. Feb 1889, in the 19 Jun 1900 census of Decker Twp., Knox Co., IN];
[not listed living at home in the 16 Apr 1910 census of Hazleton, White River Twp., Gibson Co., IN]

26.03--Wallace Simmons, b. Jan 1891 in IN;

[listed as "Wallace", age 9 and b. Jan 1891, in the 19 Jun 1900 census of Decker Twp., Knox Co., IN];
[not listed living at home in the 16 Apr 1910 census of Hazleton, White River Twp., Gibson Co., IN]

[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.
26.04--Emma Simmons, b. Mar 1893 in IN;
[listed as "Emma", age 7 and b. Mar 1893, in the 19 Jun 1900 census of Decker Twp., Knox Co., IN];
[not listed living at home in the 16 Apr 1910 census of Hazleton, White River Twp., Gibson Co., IN]

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.]

26.06--Mary Simmons, b. Jun 1897 in IN;

[listed as "Mary", age 2 and b. Jun 1897, in the 19 Jun 1900 census of Decker Twp., Knox Co., IN];
[listed as "Mary", age 12, in the 16 Apr 1910 census of Hazleton, White River Twp., Gibson Co., IN]

25.05--Mary Ellen Simmons, b. ca 1856; d.; m. Thomas J. Jones;

[listed as Mary Simmons, age 14, in 15 Aug 1870 Census of Shoal's P. O., Lost River Twp., Martin Co., IN]

26.01--James Patrick Jones, b. 3 Aug 1881; d. 3 Mar 1935;

25.06--Elizabeth Simmons, b. 15 May 1856
in Lost River Twp., Martin Co., IN; m. George Davidson; unk. ch.
[listed as Elizabeth Simmons, age 13, in 15 Aug 1870 Census of Lost River Twp., Martin Co., IN]
[listed as Elizabeth Davidson, age 21 and b. in IN/IN/IN, in the 29 Jun 1880 census of Lost River Twp., Martin Co., IN]

[listed as George H. Davidson, age 21 and b. in OH/England/England, in the 29 Jun 1880 census of Lost River Twp., Martin Co., IN]

Because of the dates of birth being several years off, I'm not quite convinced yet that the family of this George H. Davidson 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).

[John M. Gwin Note:  "Huston" is named in the probate of Isham Gwin's will.  We know that the probate occurred after his wife's (Mary Canterbury Gwin's) death, and we know that Mary Canterbury Gwin was alive in the 1850 census.  I think this means that Huston was alive at least as late as 1850.]

I believe this is a son of Kinsey Veatch; Kinsey is Isham's and Mary's next-door neighbor in Sevier Co., TN, and brother in Christ and Isham's fellow elder at Providence Church in Orange Co., IN.
