Hi Bill,

This will be long.

Thank you so much for the look ups. I had some of those, not all. This is what I had in my research at home posted below, all except for the 1830 was looked up by a fellow researcher Charles Walker. I had previously found the 1900 and 1910 as well.

He believes to be a cousin of mine, distant and related to the same line. His theory is that Edward (Ned) Walker is my g, g, grandfather Tandy Walker’s father. Edward Walker married to Mary Morris. I am looking at that theory and also looking for “Spivey” connection with a Nancy Walker as per my family tree mailed to my mother 30 years ago.

The researcher then list Tandy’s mother as Nancy unknown married in a second marriage to “Spivey” not know if first or last name. I did some hunting online and was looking at “Henry Spivey” in NC. but nothing concrete. These were looked up at the archives in Raleigh, NC by Charles Walker all but the 1830 which I found online.

Hi again,

I meant to ask you all if you have been researching possible “Whicker””Walker” connections and “Morris” “Walker” connections in NC with concern to Tandy Walker of Moore Co.?

Thanks,

cristy

Thanks so much for the information. This helps confirm that my father was born in Moore County, also. He was adopted by his aunt(Mary) when he was 2 yrs. old. And I have been trying to find his biological father’s connections. I understand that the adoptive family had their name put on his birth certificate…and that since he was born in 1914, he would not appear on any census records. Is there any way I can find out any more information on him? He and his mother (Iona Maie) are both deceased, as are all the adoptive family. His given name was James Woodrow Cole(but I was told that the W. stood for Walker at one time). The birth date I have is May 5th…and he had two brothers, Milton Henry Poole (deceased) and another brother that is still living. Thanks for all that you have done…it is a tremendous help.

Update on Tandy Walker, buried in Maplewood cemetery in Durham, NC

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

The Sons of Confederate Veterans placed a new stone for him yesterday and had a wonderful dedication ceremony for his and 41 others. Now his stone has all his information on it. So the next generation won’t have to guess what unit he served in and his birth and death dates. Tandy’s family had the biggest turnout of all…..and I am proud that I can say he’s my great great grandfather.

Hi Becky,

I am so glad all of you could make it. A few month’s ago, I just happened upon the ceremony information when I was researching online and then emailed John Nash to get the details.

I tried contacting as many of of his family members as I could. I was thrilled when I found out that you, Julian, Rich, and Robert were all coming. I had thought Nancy (another cousin) might make it but I do not think she did.

Robert sent me some photos and they were great! I was sorry I could not have been there but I see that Tandy was very well represented. Robert also sent me a scan of the program on the inside listing family members in attendance. His name did not make it but probably as I emailed John late with the news Robert was attending.

I am also very proud to be Tandy Walker’s great, great granddaughter. I am continuing work on the tree and will update you all soon as I will have more time in the summer to update it. I will also email John and see if anyone took a digital video of the ceremony. Glad you decided to keep the old stone as well.

Sorry I haven’t been on here lately, been under the weather since I posted Monday. I have digital video of the part where they did Tandy’s stone, I have not previewed it yet. I will be glad to send everything I have, but, am working on serious Indian time here trying to catch up with work and everything else since I have been sick. There was also an article in Sunday’s Herald about the ceremony, albeit the writer really didn’t have a clue about the importance of what was being done, but, it was covered any way. So will include that in your packet. And if anyone else wants information, just email me.

Aho

Becky
