Research status

Research status: PROBABLE — accepted by Earl 28 September 2026 pending more evidence. Jarrett Walker's will, signed in Union District, South Carolina, on 13 September 1824 and read from the image, names a son Daniel Walker among the children still under age S847. Daniel Green Walker was born about 1815 in South Carolina: he was 35, born South Carolina, in 1850 S845. What is weak: nothing yet ties the Mississippi and California Daniel to Union District — no middle name, deed or estate division — and Daniel Walker is a common name in South Carolina Probable confirm or correct →

Life in the order the records give it

Record
His will leaves his estate to “my dear beloved wife Sarah Walker” for her lifetime, “to support and to school the under named children … until they become of age or get married (Viz) Thomas Walker, Mary Walker, Elizabeth H. Walker, Robert Y. Walker, Martha D. Walker, Daniel Walker, Henry C. Walker, Sarah Walker, Juliet A. T. Walker”; his son William Walker gets a colt; his executors are his wife Sarah and his son Thomas S847
Death1824
Died after 13 September 1824, when he signed his will, and before about 7 March 1825, when it was proven, in Union District, South Carolina S847. An online tree's birth on 25 May 1773 in Lunenburg County, Virginia, is on no record read, and the will does not give Sarah's maiden name

Compiled for the Proeger family

Living adults appear by name and relationship, with the year only: no full date of birth and no home town on any page that search engines index, and a living person’s own page is kept out of search engines. Minors appear by name only — no date of birth, no birth year, no age, no school, no place, no address, no other identifying detail. A minor may be named and may appear in a family photograph; nothing further about them is published. Where it is not established whether someone is an adult or a minor, the minor rule applies.
