I think a few of these profiles were added just for DNA surfing? Very limited information on the profiles and absolutely no documentation for the first group. The second group are wrong DNA and completely wrong area.

It takes hours to untangle the mess- The rule should be, no merging without proof of lineage- period- probated wills, etc.

The mtDNA mtN* doesn't match a straight line

Can someone from FTDNA please upload a correct direct Walker yDNA

___DNA surfing I think for these extra Children ____ mtDNA doesn't match us!

I can say it's not mtN*

1. Henry Walker
Birth estimated between 1707 and 1763

2. Susanna Walker estimated between 1707 and 1763

3. William Walker estimated between 1707 and 1763 no death date ridiculous!

4. James Walker estimated between 1707 and 1763 No Death Date - ridiculous

5. Henry Walker estimated between 1707 and 1763

These DNA surfers don't match me- I'm a direct maternal Lancaster/ Walker Hudson/ though my grandmother Lancaster- I have a direct male Lancaster cousin who is linked as well.

DNA mt-N* wrong type ?

Bristol Parish Lost Children - they don't belong on this profile --- Just born in completely wrong area for all these children, people can't read.

I think the Walkers have become very confused again, and will need work to detangle.

David Walker who died in Goochland County (see the wills section of his profile) is a different person than the David Walker who married Mary Mumford. A profile for a Goochland County David was incorrectly merged with this one, which had included information belonging to the Goochland County David in the text.

Children: The Goochland County David names daughter Elizabeth Thornhill in his will.[15] The FindAGrave memorial that conflates this David and the Goochland County David shows daughters Elizabeth Thornhill and Amy Pettus.[12] A profile for William Walker (two actually-Walker-4566 & Walker-8982), born 1725, was detached from being son of this David, but I could find nothing to support that William who married Jane Burton was the son of the Goochland County David (which I originally thought to be the case). ~ Noland-165, 27 Jan. 2020

1774, Goochland County, Virginia[16][14] (Walker-36688, father of, among others, Judith Poor and Hope Lancaster)[15]

When do we look at Fin-a-grave as a source?

Find-a-grave for this family has been completely messed up, I've given up trying to clean them up. As soon as I circle again they are linked wrong again.

Do I understand this correctly?

In my opinion

David married [Mary Walker Mary Walker] in 1718 in Goochland, Virginia, United States. Together they had the following children:

# [Peter Walker John Walker];
# [Peter Walker Peter Walker];
# [Joel Walker Joel Walker];
# [Elizabeth Thornhill Elizabeth Walker]; Thornhill
# [Mary Walker Mary Perkins];
# [Judith Poore Judith Walker]; Poore
# [Hope Lancaster Hope Lancaster (Walker)];
# [Amy Ann Pettus Amey Ann Pettus]; ? ck she should've been married to a Stevens ?
# [David Alexander Walker David Alexander Walker]; underage at father's death.
----

An in my opinion, the profiles listed below are connected to the wrong set of parents and should be disconnected -

These are extra children added to this profile - they don't belong - wrong David Walker and Mary

# [Captain Robert Walker, Sr. Robert Walker, Sr]; Not on Will
# [Freeman Walker Freeman Walker]; Not on Will
# [Susannah Walker Susannah Walker]; Not on will
# [Alexander Walker Alexander Walker]; Not on Will
# [Linder Walker Linder Walker]; Not on Will
# [William Andrew Walker William Walker]; Not on Will
# [James Walker James Walker]; Not on Will
# [Henry Walker Henry Walker]. Not on Will

Who was the other Mary?

I came across a discussion about the Two Wills of our Two David Walker's

This may assist us, I'm still searching for the complete original probated Will for David Walker and Mary Mumford Walker, I've never favored transcribed ones they can have mistakes, like leaving out names.

My shortest line to Amy Ann Pettus (Walker), who is my fifth great uncle's great-grandmother. (In-Law Line)

Aaron Furtado Baldwin → Ronnie Eugene Buchanan Baldwin your father → William Henry Buchanan his father → William Earl Buchanan his father → John Neal Buchanan his father → William Buchanan his father → Sarah "Sallie" Buchanan (Yarbrough) his mother → Susan Alice Brown (Yarbrough) her sister → Jesse Brown, Sr. her husband → William A. Brown his father → Mary Susan Brown (Pettus) his mother → Amy Ann Pettus (Walker) her mother

Colonel Thomas Branch Brown and Burgess Thomas Pettus are both qualifying ancestors for DAR/SAR and their ancestors Christopher Branch and Colonel Thomas Pettus are both qualifying ancestors for The Jamestowne Society ... so I locked of these lines is probably needed

I personally have a lot of Brown/Branch family information ... some Pettus and no real Walker family information.

Erica to the recuse!

However, Amy's daughter Ann Eggleston (Pettus) did carry the Overton family name ... Ann Overton Eggleston (Pettus) and she married Joseph Eggleston (1678-1730). So, while untangling someone may want to add that.

Amy's granddaughter, Amy Childs Winstead (Brown), was the second wife of my 6th great -grandfather Mandley Taylor Winstead, Sr. of Hopkins County, Kentucky. She was the daughter Col. Thomas Branch Brown and Mary Susan Brown (Pettus)

Mandley Taylor Winstead, Sr.

Not sure if this helps, but these are long-term allied families, at least 5-7 generations
