432. John WALKER III
From an unpublished manuscript "Indian Atrocities Along the Clint, Powell and Holston Rivers"
Walker Family
Indian Tragedies Against the Walker Family By Emory L. Hamilton ...
John Walker, Jr., born 1705, married Ann Houston in 1734. He first settled in Augusta Co., and later with the Hays family moved to Rockbridge Co. and settled on a stream still known today as Walker's Creek. From Walker's Creek he moved to Clinch River in recent Russell Co., VA, where he settled in 1773 at the "sink" of Sinking Creek on a 300 acre tract of land which he named "Broadmeadows". This land was surveyed and entered for him in old Fincastle Co., April 2, 1774.
At this time he was a man of some 68 years and surely must have followed his children in their wanderings to the Virginia frontier. In spite of his advanced age he still lived to see a son and son-in- law killed by Indians and a daughter and grandson carried away into captivity, dying in 1778 before their return...The will of John Walker, Jr., was probated in Washington Co., VA, November 17, 1778, and in this will he mentions his grandson William Walker, who was perhaps the same who was captured by the Indians. The will perhaps having been written before the capture occurred...
