Have been wanting to post this too..some findings from The St. Peter’s parish court records and registry.
the William Walker who died in 1723 was Capt. William Walker…Father in law Francis Warren, wife unknown. Suspected father for Wm., Alexander Walker. Had sons William and Alexander.
1710-Jane Brooks, belonging to William Walker of New Kent.
The 1704 tax register has 3 entries for Wm. Walker.,
650 acres in New Kent Co, and as Capt. Wm Walker another 400 acres.
Henrico County, just across the Chickahominy charged him on 550 acres where Joan Brooks lived. The latter tract included 400 acres held in trust for son Sylvanus who inherited it from francis Warren. Joan Brooks testifies in April 1694 that she is 40. Do not know the connection to William Walker.

Richard Allin had more than one son. Robert, my line, and some gedcoms, etc. show 5 sons in all. I’m not convinced of all five but Richard and William and Robert I see over and over again. All New Kent co.
From the registry,
Hannah Allin baptised 9-17-1717.
John Martin, bastard son of Hannah born Aug. 1736.
Richard Allin has land in Henrico, 1717 on the Chickahominy swanp.
St. Peters Parish Reg. pp 1-20,
Mary Holt, a servant born at Capt. Alex. Walkers of a white women and a mulatto man was born Jan ye’ 10th. Attested by certificate from ye clerk of Wilmington Parish, 1698.
And, Mary Holt a mulatto girl belonging to Mr. Richard Allin Dept’s this life Xbr 24th, 1718. Richard Allin is taking care of Mary Holt…to be cont.
Taking care of Mary Holt in
1713, 1717, and in 1721 caring for George born Oct. 25 1721.
Records usually show Negro belonging to or mulatto belonging to…
this says, George a child belonging to Mr. Richard Allin born 10 25, 1721.
I have found him with a son born the same date named George.
Later Ann Holt, a free mulatto woman has a bastard son Oct. 20 1737 named George.
Don’t know what that one means.
Have also found Joseph Allen fined in 1735 for not listing his mulatto wife as a taxable
Wonder what all was going on in those early colonial days. Many records are missing. Have found two different families for Joseph but don’t know if it is right.
He was born 1711, 4-12 for sure per parish records, New kent again. HMMMMM….Sue J
I wonder if that’s the court case I heard about before, the one where a man was fined for not paying tax on his wife. I believe that means he was being publically chastised for considering this woman to be his wife when they considered her to be his slave.
Linda,
I don’t know.
I found this in a listing of “happenings” I guess you’d say from Paul Heinegg. Thanks to SaponiI for mentioning him..as that led me to find an article by him I hadn’t read before. But are there even any detailed records still in existance from New Kent co Va.? I thought much was destroyed.
Thanks for responding to this.
