Sally,
I've been looking for quite awhile for an child born to Richard and Eleanor but no luck.Walpoles show up again in the area with a John Walpole around 1760 with deeds of gift to his brother Thomas, his sister Elizabeth and his Brother in law Thomas Williamson.John Walpole had two children one named Richard and one named Mary.With the loss of the records I have always believed that John Walpole was somehow related to Richard Walpole but could not find any record.With the naming system I've read about the first son was usually named after the grandfather.
It's too bad most of the records were destroyed during the Civil War.
Good luck in your search, let me know if you find anything.
Take care
Nate
