American Family

Well, I'm so glad to see you made it to my Ole' Photo Shoppe. Sit back, get a cup of coffee and let's look at some pictures of the Walker/Morris family. I have gotten more pictures recently and just finished adding them to my "Shoppe".

The pictures are covering the families of Cornelius Daniel WALKER, William H. MORRIS children and their earlier descendents. I am not adding the younger generation pictures.

If you happen to recognize any of the images here, or if a name strikes a chord in your memory, please drop me a line and maybe we can talk about it a bit more. You can reach me by email here.

I hope you enjoyed the Photo Shoppe. As I accumulate old pictures, and (some not so old maybe), I will include them with the information I have on the subjects of the pictures. Several of the pictures were my Dad's. However, I want to thank those that have been kind enough to send more pictures to me. I have gotten some in the US Mail, as well as from E-Mail. This means a lot to me and makes this effort of research easier and more enjoyable.

Thank you, Emma Lessenberry, from AR; Berma Caster, from AR; Frances Quessenberry, from AR; Terry Walker, from IN; Samuel W. McKinney, from AZ; and Dorothy Slocum from AR.

If you saw someone you know or think you know, please e-mail me. I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Check out the Walker and Morris links below. Hope you do get some help from this site. Come back any time and see what's been added.

God bless and happy hunting!!
