Asaph Walker
There has been much discussion about Joel Walker(sr), b ~1699, son of William & Elizabeth Walker, of Henrico co VA.
Joel Walker(sr) married Sarah [Moseley] <1729;
moved to Albemarle co VA (present Buckingham co), sometime before 1748.
His proven sons are William (d 1748), Charles (d 1770), Joel jr (b 1733, d 1796).
Joel Walker(jr) moved to present Burke co GA, ~1768.
We have also discussed, at a separate thread, siblings George Walker, Thomas Walker, Mary (Walker) Dallas, who are alleged by some to be children of Joel Walker(sr).
It seems appropriate to give equal consideration to siblings Asaph Walker, Elizabeth (Walker) Jones, Mary (Walker/Patterson/Mills) Flood, also alleged children of Joel Walker(sr).
I will present what details I am currently aware of, in the next few messages.
Evidence which connects Asaph Walker, Elizabeth (Walker) Jones, and Mary (Walker/Patterson/Mills) Flood:
1) tradition, over 100 years old (which counts for something):
"The Kentucky Explorer, October 1998", from a collection of old clippings, which the editor estimates at about 100 years old:
Asaph WALKER removed from Buckingham co VA to Madison co KY ~1781, bringing his family ...
One of Asaph's sisters married Major Henry Flood and another, Elizabeth married Col John Jones, of Buckingham County."
2) deeds, involving Jones family, witnessed by Asaph Walker:
Virginia County Court Records - Deed & Will Abstracts of Albemarle co VA (Ruth & Sam Sparacio):
v3, 1761-1764, p1
15 Dec 1760 - Thomas Jones, John Jones & William Jones to John Hoy - 340a - for 100 pounds
wit: John Booker Hoy, Addams [sic] Sanders, Asaph Walker
proved 12 Feb 1761
(from #29826, this forum)
Bedford co VA deed
15 Dec 1760 - Thomas Jones & Thomas Jones, jr (of Albemarle co) to John Jones - 683a on Falling River - for 177 pounds, 17 shillings, 7-1/2 pence
wit: John Booker Hoy, Asaph Walker, William Jones
(note: mother of John Booker Hoy was Elizabeth Jones, probably connected to John Jones - husband of Elizabeth)
3) Use of "Walker" name in Jones family, and "Jones" name in Walker family.
4) Specifically, use of the name "Joel Walker", by both Elizabeth (Walker) Jones, and by Mary (Walker) Flood.
Other tradition claims another sibling: the mother of John and Edmund Wood, of VA; Edmund Wood d 1823.
To date, I have found no evidence to support this claim.

Dale Bryan
