My records have the children of Dr. John Walton (who died during the Rev. War & married Mary Sims) as:

George, John Jr., Newell, Simeon, Frances, Robert and Lt. Jesse Walton who married Ann Pleasant (1749-1873) and moved to Pittsylvania County.

John Walton Sr. was a "botanical" doctor, i.e., one who compounds his own prescriptions from plants containing medicinal properties. He was the first of four generations of physicians in this line. John, Sr.; John, Jr.; Martin, son of John Jr.; and Thomas Johnson Walton, son of Martin. (Source: Walton's -- Descendants of George and Elizabeth Rowe Walton, p. 18)

!SOURCE: From "History of Louisa Co, VA" by Malcom H. Harris, M.D.- "John Walton and his wife Mary, daughter of George Sims, settled in Louisa Co. on land which George Sims, John Sims, Edward Sims, and Mathew Sims had patented. John Walton was a physician. They had a large family of children some of whom stayed in Louisa Co." Note: A copy of John's will was found by a descendent and re-recorded in Hanover Co., Virginia.
