General Notes: Husband - James Walker


He was born in Pennsylvania, in either Washington or Allegheny county. Some time after his marriage he moved to Kittanning, Armstrong County, with his family, which then consisted of seven children. After a residence of five years in Kittanning he located on the place later owned by his son Robert, in 1856, and followed the carpenter's trade in addition to farming. He left that place to live in Bethel township, where he spent the remainder of his days. Mr. Walker always belonged to the U. P. Church. [HAC 1914, 670]

He and his wife were both reared in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, where he learned the trade of carpenter. For about fourteen years he worked at that trade at Pittsburgh, later leaving and coming to Worthington, about 1838. He had the contract for the carpenter work on the Buffalo furnace, and for other buildings at Kittanning and adjoining places. [HAC 1914, 876]
