William W. Walker, II

William W Walker ELDEST ANCESTOR WILLIAM WALKER FAMILY

10. William Walker b.1700 Ireland d.1769 Orange Co., NC m.abt.1734 Ireland, (unknown). NOTE: Alamance County, NC was originally part of Orange County, NC, the county immediately to the east. Alamance County was officially proclaimed a county in April of 1849. The boundary to the north finds Caswell County, south is Chatham County, and west is Guilford County. There is little information on William Walker. He owned property on Hogans Creek. Hogans Creek is in Rockingham County, NC, and flows in a northeasterly direction through that county and Caswell County until it empties into the Dan River. That area is on the far western edge of Orange County as it existed in 1769. Walker also named, as his executor, John Robertson, whose name matches that of a man known to have lived on Country Line Creek since 1761. What this means is that Walker lived in an area that today is the southeastern corner of Rockingham County.
