Hi to all…
I have been researching the Walker line…
The descendants of Wm walker and elizabeth Warren..
Wm Walker born 1640 Va. daughter elizabeth Walker married Robert Allen my direct line.
Brother to Elizabeth Walker was sylvanus Walker born 1686…Married Ann Tandy.
son Tandy married Judith Langford..Son william married Sarah?
Son John married Mary Riddle (choctaw) ..Son Lewis married Mary Cheadle..Half chickasaw..Grother Tandy was Col. Tandy Walker commander of the choctaw and Hickasaw brigade..born oct 11 1814..Lewis had a son Tandy C..born 1839 Skullyville, San Bois..Choctaw territory..
also descending from Wm Walker and elizabeth Warren down the line is memucan Walker named for memucan Hunt..I have found two different instances where his son is named Menuenon “Memucan” Joel Walker…not sure about the menuenon version…Memucan Walker’s father was raised by Memucan Hunt..Memucan Walker’s son, Joel (Menuenon) married Mary Lucinda or Lucy Fuel (Fewell) reportedly an Indian women? And Joel born 1809..greenbriar West Va, went to live with Lucy on a reservation in Indiana? and later came back to live in West Va? she was supposed to be full-blooded shawnee?.
within a Walker DNA study done this line shows up with Memucan Walker and also another with Horatio (his brother) with some native american…I have yet to “prove” native american from the elizabeth Walker Allen line although these people are all related. And it is Memucan Allen my direct ancestor who showed two mothers…One a Nannie Quarles and two birth places..One New kent co va and one NC….Not sure what to make of all of this but I do have more info on the Walker lines I can find if needed…

I posted the William Walker and Elizabeth Warren connection to a Memucan Hunt Allen in Charlotte Co., Va. as a reply to your “Lucas, White, Allen, Cargill” post – just before I read this post. “Great minds think alike”. 🙂
For “Grother”, look for “Strother” – who are with the Allen & White lines in Va. The “G” may be an indexed interpretation. The old cursives make “G”s and “S”s hard to distinguish from one another.
Sue,
Where/How does Tandy Walker intersect your line?
Speaking now of the Tandy Walker of New Kent and later Henrico who died Lunenburg Co., have you ever seen anything that might indicate his “full” name was Henry Tandy Walker?
Henry Tandy Walker, son of Tandy, son of Sylvanus..going back again to William Walker and Elizabeth Warren..sue J
Ok, here’s a howbout that….was talking to my mother about our Walker line (my great grandmother Lou married a Walker)….and she said that there was a Tandy Walker in ours…and that they are buried in the Old Maplewood Cemetery in Durham. She says she has the information at her house about the direct line….ok, gonna have to go over there in the morning and read this….can there be two?????
Mousini,
There are more than two Tandy Walkers but many are related.
Tandy Walker son of Sylvanus, son of Wiliam Walker II born 13 Dec. 1714, Died in Lunenburg co Oct. 24, 1751.
Tandy purchased land on south side of James River in Goochland co from William Woodson 21 June 1737. In 1747 sold tract to Edmund Epes. Then sold 180 acres in Cumberland parish to Henry Blagrave in July 1750.
Wife Judith Lankford?
Tandy died 1752, wife Judith died within same year.. will dated 29 Feb 1752. Her will identified seven minor children bound out 1763…
Sylvanus
Tandy-served in Capt. James Johnson’s co. during revolution.
William
Joel
Lankford Walker
Ann Walker
Elizabeth Walker…..need to see who Tandy married. sue J
Ok, went to my mom’s today….here’s my Tandy Walker info. My grandmother was
Iona Maie Walker, b. 4/20/1896 & d. 11/6/1967
her parents: Frederick Gordon Walker, b. 11/17/1876
d. 1/14/1940
married
Lula Earle Sorrell, b. 1/16/1879
d. 11/15/1963
Frederick’s parents: Tandy Walker b. 8/7/1837
d. 4/22/1907
married 1/19/1876 in Harnett or Moore County, NC
Lorena Cameron b. 10/20/1859
d. 7/18/1936
Tandy is buried in Maplewood Cemetery in Durham, NC
Lorena is buried in Charlotte NC
Tandy’s mother was Nancy ____________, and he had a stepfather named Spivey (don’t know if that is a last name or first name). Do know that Tandy was in Conf. Army Co. H-30, NC Reg.
Lorena’s parents were: Allen J. Cameron b. 12/18/1812
d. 12/8/1892
married 9/30/1834
Catherine McLean b. 6/23/1813
d. nobody knows
Bill, we were working on the Sorrell line before and did not have a maiden name, which I now have…see if you can work some wonders here…..or do I need to take it to the Sorrell thread?
Lula Earle Sorrell (listed above), her parents were
James Dennis Sorrell who married Mary Page. They were married around 1869 in Wake County NC.
mousini,
all the farther I got on Tandy was in the 1880 census, Jonesboro, Moore co NC..
Tandy…carpenter…age 42..born NC
Lorener…keeping house..Age 20..born NC
Fredie Age 3
Landis Age 2
Still don’t know who he descends from to see if our lines intersect but maybe Bill will have more info…
🙂 Sue J
Well, thanks, Saj…that’s them. More of a likelihood that they were married in Moore County if they were living there in 1880, 4 yrs. after they were married. That is two of their children for sure, Fredie is my great grandfather and that fits his age. Have a cousin that has emailed me that I found on USGenWeb, so maybe between all of us we can find out more info. Take care, Becky
Becky and Sue,
I “expect” this is one line – a Tandy Walker, 60 to 69 (b. in 1760s), lived in 1830 Moore Co., NC. The Tandy Walker that Becky is looking for, lived in 1860 Moore Co with George S. and Mary Cole, and that was his county of residence when he enlisted in the CSA on 15 August 1861.
I’ll start a new thread if it’s a different line but will post the info here if it is the same line.
Becky,
While routing around for Tandy Walker, I found Allen J. Cameron and family in 1850 Cumberland Co. next door to McLeans and a whole passel of Camerons. They’re in Harnett Co by 1860. Catherine is on the 1870 census with Allen but Allen is living alone in 1880 Harnett. He’s marked as “Married” but he’s probably widowed.
Bill
So is the 1760s Tandy my Tandy’s grandfather? I thought I had it figured out…now I am confused. I have Tandy Walker’s mother as Nancy…and he had a stepfather Spivey…not sure if that is first name or last name. Does this make any connections anywhere?
Bill, that makes the connection for Lorena, that’s for sure. I have no death date for Catherine yet. The only thing in the family history that I pulled this from was that she was already deceased when that generation was born…which was in the late 1800’s. The family bible that all this was in was lost or destroyed so that is what is making it so hard. I have an Allen cousin that is corresponding with me, they married into the Walker side. She thinks that their Tandy Walker is from the Lunenburg, VA line, which matches what Sue has, if it is the right Allen. Still putting the pieces of the puzzle together….scratching head.
Becky,
This could be posted on more than one thread..it ties to others.
But here goes…
David Young and Catherine Lanier had the sonWilliam Lanier allen but they also had a son Thomas Tinsley Allen who married Martha Pugh..one of the sons of Thomas and Martha is
CAMERON ALLEN born 1849 person Co, nc…I thought that was interesting!
And, another son of David Young and Catherine Lanier was Drury married Martha Coleman..one of their children Nicholas Allen married Rebecca LUNSFORD born about 1820? (Nicholas born in Person co.
This gets more and more interesting…:) Sue j
Sue…….. this does indeed get more interesting…. Rebecca is a rather common name in my Lunsford line in Person co, NC. Let me check my family sheets and figure out which one she is.
Also…… not sure if everyone is aware that the Cameron plantation was one of the major plantations in early Durham Co…. and, according to Piedmont Plantation- The Bennehan-Cameron Family and Lands in North Carolina, the name Walker was a slave and overseer name on the Durham plantation. Coleman ties into this same group all across the lines. Yep, more and more interesting.
BTW…….. Becky and I are currently working on locating 2 Coleman cemeteries…… my Lunsford cem……… 2 Allen cems…. among others.
Sunday we located a lost Jones cemetery and a Sneed/Timberlake cem that dates back to 1700s……. Recently we recorded a Gooch cem and an Evans cem and my and Becky’s Moore cem. All this info is available at the Person co, NC gen web site.
