The Michael L. Walker Family Home Page

I am researching the WALKER family.The first name that is known to me is JOHN WALKER of Wigton, Scotland.He married JANE MCKNIGHT; of their children the names of only two are known:JOHN WALKER and ALEXANDER WALKER.JOHN WALKER (2) was born in Wigton, Scotland and married KATHERINE RUTHERFORD January7, 1702, in Scotland. KATHERINE RUTHERFORD'S father and mother were JOHN RUTHERFORD, who lived on River Tweed in Scotland, and ISABELLA ALLEIN.From Scotland JOHN WALKER (2) moved his family and settled near the town of Newry, Ireland.He and his family with three of his brother ALEXANDER'S children left Stranford bay in May, 1726 (another record says 28 or 30) on board a vessel commanded by RICHARD WALKER, and landed in Maryland August 2.He transported his family and settled in Chester County, Pennsylvania, where he died in September, 1734; his wife died in 1738; both buried at Nottingham Meeting House in Chester County, Pennsylvania.
Most of the family left Pennsylvania and settled in Rockbridge and adjoining counties in Virginia.John Walker contemplated such a move, and had been to Virginia a short time previous to his death and selected a farm upon which he erected a small building.JOHN and KATHERINE had eleven children.I have a fairly complete account of the decendants of those eleven children up to around 1903-05 and would be happy to share it with anyone who is interested.
I am looking for records on JOHN WALKER'S(1) OR JANE MCKNIGHT'S family in Scotland.Any help would be appreciated.
