Obituary Online notes for Thomas WALKER Jr.
According to the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) records, Thomas Walker Jr. was born about 1709 in Nottoway Parish, Amelia County, VA prior to Nottoway County being created there in 1789. The parents of Thomas Walker Jr. were most likely Thomas Walker Sr. (1680 – 1760) and Elizabeth Jordan (c. 1690 – 1725) from New Kent County, VA. In order to differentiate father and son named Thomas, ‘Sr.’ and ‘Jr.’ have been added here. The titles ‘elder’ and ‘younger’ were used in this time period.
In 1735 in Spotsylvania County, VA Thomas Walker, Jr. (c. 1709 – 6 Jun 1793) married Elizabeth ‘Betty’ Ellis (c. 1720 – Bef 1798), the daughter of John Ellis (1678-1745) and Sarah Austin (Robert Lake Clark research).
They had 9 children: 1. Thomas Walker III (in father Thomas Walker Jr.’s 1792 will); RW. 1737 - 18 Oct 1802) m.#1, 1776 Mary Beuford (1743-1782) had 5 children; (m. 20 Dec 1783) #2 Susannah Kemp (174 1-1788) had 3 children; 2. John Walker RW (1740 - Bef 1792); 3. Elizabeth ‘Betty’ Walker
Thomas Walker, Jr.’s 1793 will named his nine surviving children: three living sons first, then six living daughters and finally unnamed grandchildren of deceased son John: “My children Thomas Walker, Henry Walker, Richard Walker, Mary Jones, Betty Sammons, Susannah Hooper, Barbara Williams, Polly Wood, and John Walker’s children” (Thomas Walker Will, 1792). NOTE: This Thomas Walker data was furnished by Robert Lake Clark and the Hope Coslett Pees Walker family research and in Ancestry.com. (The numbers in parentheses after the Walker names below refer to the generations.)
• The will of a Thomas Walker Jr. (1) who died 6 Jun 1793, named a son Thomas III. (2) and two grandsons also named Thomas IV (3).
• One grandson was the son of an unnamed deceased son and the other is Thomas IV (3), the grandson of our Thomas Jr. (2).
• To this grandson Thomas III (3), grandfather Thomas Jr.. (1) left a slave, “a mulatto boy, Lewis.”
Twenty-four years later, the 1784 Tax Records Lunenburg County VA, state that Thomas Walker Jr.’s (2) oldest son, also named Thomas Walker III (3), had a slave listed by the name “Lewis.” 470, Thomas Walker Jr.
