hi Wendy,

I just read your e-mail. I have been working at this family tree stuff sporadically, so I am a bit rusty. Your great grandfather was Fred Walkup. Who were his parents? I don't see him on any of my sheets. I see that William and Elizabeth had a son named Fred, though. Probably named after your great grandfather? Anyway my aunt did all this research and let me copy the family group sheets, but I have no documentation. So I started doing some research and have found William and Elizabeth in Adair Co., Kentucky in the 1870 and 1880 census. You're right about the confusion with the Matthews. I have proof all the way to william and Elizabeth but the Matthews throw me and my aunt. She just jumped past them. I want to find some documentation. I was working on this and then I had a baby, and well I am just now reacquainting myself with all of this.

I have visited Joseph's and Dora's gravesites. I have family in Wapanuck (Wapy) and have many relatives buried in that cemetary. It is called Rose Hill Cemetary. I don't know if you have every been there but it is a very tiny town. No traffic lights, just a four way stop.

Well here is what I have on the children of William and Elizabeth:

1. Fred Walkup
2. Anne Elizabeth b. 25-6-1843 d. 3-9-1851
3. Emma Walkup b. 1844
4. Levi Benton b. 29-8-1845 in Bowling Green KT., Warren of Adair Co. Married in Jasper Co. Missouri, and died18-10-1924 in Valiant, OK. McCurtain Co.
5 Matthew Thomas b. 22-2-1850
6. William Archelaus b. 12-12-1847
7. John Winston Sr. b. 4-8-1852 in Columbia, Adair County, KT married Prentice Taylor
8. Mary Ermine b. 1-2-1855, m. John Edgar Stotts 1-5-1873, d. 4-4-1920
9. Sally Margaret b. 15-6-1857, married Zachary Watson
10. Baby Girl b. June 1857 (?) I may have a mistake here, look at #9
11. Fanny E. b. 2-6-1861
12. Robert b. 3-10-1863
13. Joseph Edward b. 4-4-1866, married c. 1896, d. 4-7-1935

Let me know if this is helpful to you. I was just looking at my notes and somewhere I also have info on Sally and Fanny's death's, but I believe that it is in my files in the other room. I don't have it written down here. Let me know if you need that, and I will update you.
P.S. You are probably a more experienced genealogist than I am, but my family group sheets have day before month and it always confuses me. Just thought I'd point it out.

Keep in touch and Good Luck
Karen
