New Information on Jesse Walker born 1796 NC
I believe I have put together the line of Jesse Walker, son of Benjamin Walker and unknown.
Jesse was born 1796 in North Carolina.At some point in time he moved to Indiana.From letters Jesse wrote in 1851 we know that he had 2 wives and had children named Harriet, Elizabeth, James, John and Aquilla. There probably were more.
We know that Elizabeth married John J. Galloway and had at least 8 children.
From the 1880 census of Dillon Phelps Co., Missouri we find John Galloway, 68 years old born in KY, his wife, Elizabeth is 62 and born in North Carolina.
NEXT DOOR is a JESSEE (that's the way it is spelled on some records, Jesse on others) F. (Franklin) on this record and J. on others) Galloway, 45 years old and born in Indiana.His wife is shown as Eliza (additional research shows that her maiden name was Beeler) 32 years old and a Franacis M. Galloway 19 born Missouri shown as son, a William Faris 5 years old born Missouri shown as "other" and a Jesse Walker, 84 years old born North Carolina and shown as GRANDFATHER.
It is believed this Jesse Walker is the FATHER of Elizabeth Walker, wife of John J. Galloway.
The 19 year old Francis M. Galloway is believed to be the son of Jessee and his first wife, Eliza Matlock/Medlock. The 5 year old, William Faris could be a step-son, grandson, or nephew.
Living next door to Jessee Galloway is Henry Galloway, 26 years old, born Indiana and believed to be the brother of Jessee Franklin Galloway and the son of John J. Galloway and Elizabeth Walker Galloway.Henry's wife is Mary Beeler, believed to be the sister of Jessee Franklin's second wife, Eliza.Henry and Mary have a 2 year old daughter, Arletta Josephine Galloway.
I would like to hear from anyone researching these lines.
