Samuel Walker, Sr.

Unknown Parents

Walker was a fairly common name in colonial Massachusetts. At least two authors made the assumption that this Samuel Walker was the son of Captain Richard Walker of Lynn. Samuel Seawall, author of The History of Woburn ..., points out that Capt. Richard was living at Woburn around the time Samuel moved there. Richard Walker was chosen the Captain for the Artillary Company at Reading on 7 October 1651, and in 1646 and 1657, "Capt. Richard Walker of Redding" sold 500 acres and 10 acres respectively.[1] It seems that proximity and the name "Walker" are the basis for believing they were related.[2] However, Robert Charles Anderson, in his profile of Capt. Walker, made no association whatsoever with Samuel.[3] Capt. Walker did not even have a son named Samuel.[3]

Origin

The origin of Samuel Walker is not known, nor are his parents known. It is assumed he came from England. His date of birth is based on an affidavit given on April 2, 1661 in which Samuel described himself as "aged 44 or thereabouts," and therefore born c. 1617.[4]

Samuel Walker Sr (1615 - 1684)

Immigrated

He immigrated on 12 July 1637 to Massachusetts Bay Colony. He lived as a follower of the Rev. John Wheelwright in Exeter, Rockingham, New Hampshire from November 1637 to January 1644/5. Samuel signed the Exeter Combination on 4 July 1639 in Exeter, Rockingham, New Hampshire. He was made freeman on 17 April 1644 at Piscataqua Court in Exeter, Rockingham, New Hampshire.5,6 He lived in Reading, Middlesex, Massachusetts from January 1644/5 to 1654. Samuel lived in Woburn, Middlesex, Massachusetts from 1654 to 1684. Between 1655 and 1684 he was a maltster and tavern keeper in Woburn, Middlesex, Massachusetts. He was a Commissioner of the Rate in 1683 in Woburn, Middlesex, Massachusetts.7[citation needed] (? this may be another example of confusing two different Walkers, evidence this Walker was ever in New Hampshire Billups-130 17:16, 21 November 2014 (EST))

Family

Samuel married twice.

He married, as his 1st, to Unknown Unknown. We know nothing about her, except that she was the wife of Samuel Walker.
He married, as his 2nd wife Ann Sheldon Alger, widow of Arthur Alger [4] and daughter of Godfrey and Alice (Frost) Sheldon about 1676. [5] After Samuel's death, Ann taught school as "school dame" in Woburn in the year 1686 (her pay was 10 shillings for the year).[4] She died March 21, 1716 at Woburn.[4]
An unrecorded deed written on April 8, 1678 closes with this, our only record of Samuel's second wife:

I, the abovenamed Samuel Walker, have hereunto put my hand and seal ... also Ann Walker in her acknowledgment of her consent to this deed, hath put to her hand and seal.[4]
Children of Samuel and his first wife (all born at Reading):[4]

Hannah b Dec 15, 1647, d young
Hannah b June 28, 1648; mar James Thompson

Children of Samuel and his second wife, Ann (born at Woburn):[4]

Isaac b Nov 1, 1677

Reading Massachusetts

Samuel and his family lived for a time at Reading, and this is the place all his children by his first wife were born.[4] Church records show that after March 25, 1650 Samuel and his wife were admitted to membership.[4] In 1654, his connection to Reading ceases.[4]

Woburn Farm

Samuel probably removed to Woburn in 1654, when his record in Reading ceases. However, the first record of Samuel at Woburn is minutes of his election as Surveyor of Highways on February 25 1661/2.[1] Apparently much respected in the town, in 1668, Samuel was chosen as one of the Selectmen of Woburn.[1]

Samuel's farm in Woburn is described in the deed for its purchase by William Reade in 1648 (and subsequently sold to Samuel Walker):

house & land in Wooborne containing fifty acres of upland, four acres of meadow before the door, four acres of meadow in Rock Meadow, & two acres in Brook Meadow, with all barns, outhouses, fences & all privileges to the same.[6]
Maker and Seller of Spirits, Innkeeper at Woburn

A petition by Samuel Walker in 1662, asking that be allowed to sell spirits as well as to distil spirits them, was signed by forty-two citizens of Woburn, and was approved by the County Court in April 1662.[4] The town Selectmen approved Samuel as an innkeeper in 1675.[1]

Samuel Walker was fined 20 shillings for improper sale of liquor.? - from ?Chronological History of Woburn, Massachuetts
Death and Legacy

Samuel died on 6 November 1684, at the age of 68, in Woburn, Middlesex, Massachusetts.[1]

Wallingford Genealogy February 6, 2006

Was a deacon.

Samuel came to New England with his father in 1630. [WRONG - his father, if it's Richard, died in 1622.] He lived for a while in Lynn, then with his brother Richard, moved to Reading, originally Lynn Village, and then established himself permanently in Woburn, the adjoining town. He is first mentioned as an inhabitant of Woburn in its Records, at the annual election of town officers, February 25, 1662, when he was appointed a Surveyor of Highways for that year. By occupation, he was a malster, and was approved by the selectmen, 1675, in oeder to obtain a license for keeping a tavern, being the first person known to have followed that business in Woburn. He appears to have been much respected in his day, being chosen Selectman in 1668, and appointed by the town the year before on a very important Committee for taking "a List of the persons and estates of the right Proprietors", among whom, it had been voted to divide a large portion of the common lands of the town.

Many references and a number of published genealogies from the 19th century claim a kinship existed between Captains Samuel1 Walker and Richard Walker. After Charles E. Mann in 1910 proved that Capt. Richard1 Walker was born about 1611 and not 1592 as previously thought, there remained no tangible evidence that the two Captains were related, even though each had owned adjacent parcels of land at Reading. In 2004 a y-DNA study initiated by the writer was conducted on known descendants of Captains Samuel1 Walker and Richard1 Walker. This study showed that the two Captains were not related.

This Walker Coat of Arms is reproduced from one that was used in Colonial times by Major Edward4 Walker, lawyer, of Boston and Westfield, Mass., and later Major and Paymaster in the Army during the War of the Revolution. Major Walker was a greatgrandson to Capt. Samuel1 Walker (1615-1684) of Woburn, Massachusetts. The discovery of the use of these arms by Maj. Walker was made prior to 1923 by Col. E. W. Foster, an eighth generation descendant of Capt. Samuel1 Walker. It is not known to whom the right to use the Coat of Arms was first granted.

Capt. Samuel1 Walker was born in England about 1615. It's likely that he arrived at Boston in the Massachusetts Bay Colony on 12 July 1637 aboard the ship bearing passengers and friends of the Rev. John Wheelwright. Because of the Antinomian Controversy involving Rev. Wheelwright and others, these passengers were not allowed to stay in the Massachusetts Bay Colony and were given four months in which to leave. Many followed Rev. Wheelwright to Exeter, New Hampshire, after his banishment for contempt of court in November 1637. Samuel Walker was a signer of the Exeter Combination on 4 July 1639. He remained at Exeter until January 1644/45 when he relocated to Reading, Mass., after the banishment from the Massachusetts Bay Colony was lifted. Although the birth date of his first child was recorded at Reading, it's likely that Samuel, Jr., was born at Exeter on 28 Jun 1643 as the Reading births were not recorded seriatim until 1651. About 1652 Samuel, Sr., had difficulties with the Pastor of the Reading Church, and in 1654 removed to Woburn, Mass., where he lived out the remainder of his life. He was the tavern keeper at Woburn and captain of the local train band. He died at Woburn on 6 November 1684 at the age of 68.

Capt. Samuel1 Walker was married twice. The identity of his first wife is unknown. It's likely that he married at Exeter, New Hampshire, about 1642. The records of the first church at Exeter are no longer extant and her identity will probably remain unknown. Her female line ended with her granddaughter, Hannah Thompson, who died unmarried which eliminates any possibility of identification through mtDNA analysis. He married second about 1677 Ann (Sheldon) Alger, widow of Lieut. Arthur Alger of Scarborough, Maine, and daughter of Godfrey and Alice (Frost) Sheldon. Lieut. Arthur Alger died on 14 October 1675 at the garrison house of his brother-in-law William Sheldon from wounds inflicted by the Indians during King Philip's War. Ann Alger fled to Marblehead, Mass., and on 30 June 1676 Lieut. Alger's nuncupative will was proven in court at Salem by Ann Alger, relict and administratrix. She then removed to Woburn where her brother John Sheldon resided and married Capt. Samuel1 Walker as his second wife about 1677. She died at Woburn on 21 March 1716.
