Hi again!
More info…from Greenbriar W Va…
Rachael LEWIS born C 1781 marries memucan Walker, married 8 may 1808…looks like he had maybe three marriages.
Rachel daughter of Hezekiah Lewis and Diana Oldner..
Rachel and memucan have son Joel married to Lucinda Fuel
their son William Washington walker married RUHAMA MOLLOHAN
Two more sons are Beverly allen Walker and Sylvanus..born Oct 28 1799 in Greenbriar.
Memucan is named for Memucan Hunt, brother to Sarah married to my Joseph Allen and memucan Hunt was the guardian to memucan Walker’s father Sylvanus when he was orphaned.
All of the children of Memucan Walker and Rachel Lewis were born in Greenbriar W Va…Joel, Jane, Hezekiah Lewis married Nancy SPENCER..John, Rachel and virginia born 27 July 1824.
Memucan Walker had brothers Horatio and Mansfield, at least these two.
Any connections from Greenbriar W Va to these names?

Sue,
Many of my people came from Greenbrier County and I was born next door in Nicholas County. The only names that sound familiar to me are Walker and Spencer.
There is much about my Spencer family on the forum if you use the search tool. ( type in Spencer, James) As for the Walker. Both my father and grandfather have the Walker as a middle name and I am told it was a family name but darn if I can find it.
One story was that the Walker was “the walker of the tribe”. This appears in my Collins line.

Brenda,
Thanks so much for your response.
I will do the search for Spencer and see. Nancy is probably pretty common and I haven’t looked at this line much until now. The migration pattern for almost everyone I am finding is similar to others on the forum in that they moved..and moved…and kept moving…you are not sure where the Walker comes into your family?
The more we post the more we can find I hope.
Thanks again! Sue J
Saj,
I’m not possetive, you know how my mind boggles up with all this info. Check with Kerry, I think I may have seen Lewis somewhere in some of our stuff, but I’ve looked at so much stuff lately my brains gets all foggy. I could be thinking of names on the Leslie, Hodges—etc., cemetary post of Kerrys, I’m not sure… 😀 That would be down right RAD!;) I Love Ya’, Lynella.
P.s. I mean if we had Lewis in common too!:)
