From Jordan, John. Western PA, v.3 (1915), pp. 1490-91: Gabriel Walker, a native of Ireland, received his original grant land of 2,500 acres from William Penn. Part of this is now occupied by Noblestown, Pennsylvania. The most primitive conditions prevailed throughout the area, and the long-lasting feud between the native American and the white colonists required constant vigilance. While pursuing his daily business he and his wife were taken captive by a band of Indians and carried away to Canada, where they were held in slavery for three years before they escaped and returned to their home, where both died. The property received from William Penn remained in the family for many years. Gabriel Walker was the father of a considerable family, one of his sons Gabriel. Note: It does not appear correct in this 1915 book that this Gabriel was a native of Ireland since his parents were married in Lancaster County, PA.
