Nathaniel Walker

  General Notes:

Edward F. Johnson, Woburn Records of Births, Deaths, and Marriages, from 1640 to 1873, Part I., Births, Woburn, Mass.: Andrews, Cutler & Co. 1890, p. 267

Foster, "The Walkers of Woburn, Massachusetts," 110ff, vol. 6, 1905, p. 177. There is no evidence that Obediah Johnson had a daughter Jemima. More likely, Nathaniel Walker married Jemima Ward, daughter of William Ward of Marlborough and granddaughter of Obadiah Ward . William Ward with his family removed to Ashford, Connecticut, and thence to Union, Connecticut, where he died 8 Jun 1731. ¹⁰⁸⁶

  Noted events in his life were:

• Background Information: Nathaniel Walker.
From the information given on Eugene Allen Walker's web site Descendants o Capt. Samuel Walker I tried to connect my own Joseph Walker, of Connecticut, to Captain Samuel. Of the descents of Samuel Walker, Nathaniel Walker , son Israel , son of Samuel , ended up in Union, Tolland, Connecticut. He married first to Rebecca Simond, daughter of Benjamin Simonds and Rebecca Heywood, born 1697 in Woburn, Massachusetts. She died in Wobrun at the age of 25. They had two children, Nathaniel Walker & Benjamin Walker.

Nathaniel Walker married a second time to Jemima Ward, daughter of William and Judith Ward. She was born on 5 July 1693 in Malborough, Middlesex, Massachusetts. Their children were Obadia, Rebecca, Israel, Abigail, Hezekial, Hannah and Susannah.

Any of Nathaniel Walker's male children or an unknown child of us, could be the Unknown Walker between Nathaniel and my Joseph Walker. Of course this is all speculation based on DNA results that connect Joseph with Captain Samuel Walker rather than immigrant Robert Walker , father of Reverand Zachariah Walker.
