Walker, Margaret M, 1872-1957 Walker, William Edward, 1870-1852, s/o George J & Martha J Walker Walker, Infants, males no names or dates Walker, Williamson, 1908-1909 William Edward WALKER is the son of George J. WALKER and Martha J. GASKILL and had siblings Catherine, Ellen Bessie, George J. Jr., Maggie M., Susie and Charlotte. Supposedly George was born in England and came to Virginia with his father, Edward and mother, Elizabeth VAUX, and at least one brother, William. George and his father allegedly were both lawyers and served together in the Confederate Army, Company F, 9th Infantry, while William fought on the side of the Union Army. I have not been able to find these records to prove this - these are stories that came down through the family. Kay
