General Notes: Husband - Asahel Walker


After his marriage, he purchased a tract of land in Sadsbury township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, which had belonged to his father-in-law, and which had been taken up by William Penn in the year 1700, while on his visit at the Gap, and which he had surveyed off for his own use.
At the age of 66 years, he divided his land between his sons Isaac and Asahel, which land was later owned and occupied by his grandsons, Isaac and Asahel C. Walker.
After thus adjusting his temporal matters, he retired from the cares of the world and spent the remainder of his life (over a quarter of a century), in promoting the cause of his Divine Master; and became a worthy minister of the gospel truths in the society of Friends. During no period of his life did he seek public distinction; yet he had charge of various important public and private trusts for members of different religious persuasions.
