Hoping to find information about my direct line of Walters that migrated from
Virginia via Jefferson County, TN (late 1790's to early 1810's) to Fulton Co.,
IL (early to mid 1800's) and then to Nebraska (mid to late 1800's)
Looking especially for information about:
1. Absalom Walters - b. 18/ Feb 1786 Virginia-
Born most likely Shenandoah Co. VA although one account says he was born in Dandridge, He registered into the Army there in 1813 or so.
Looking for conclusive evidence of his parents - so far cannot confirm his parents. Either John Walters and Sarah Sively or their siblings, Thomas Walters and Mary Elizabeth Sively. 2 Sively brothers were thought to have come with these 2 Walters brothers from Shenadoah Co, VA around 1786-87 to Jefferson County. Anything to help confirm his parents, marriage, children's births, etc would be greatly appreciated!!!
2. Two sons of Absalom Walters --
Peter (b. 10 Oct 1816 Jefferson Co.,TN) and Daniel b. ~1820 Jefferson Co., TN)
Have a lot of information on first-born son John (m. Freelove Whitely)
-----
Peter had sons: Marion, Joseph, Robert, John, and George; daughters Elizabeth, Martha A., Lucy -- all born in Fulton Co., IL
-----
Peter's son Joseph Walters born in McDonough Co. in 1843; spouse Silvia Ursula? (Miller); lived in Fulton Co. in 1880
-----
Joseph and/or some of the children moved west to Nebraska / several children died during a Typhoid epidemic in Fall 1894. My great grandfather Eugene and some siblings eventually ended up in Hitchcock Co., NE.
