William Bernard Walker, known as Willie B., was born on 11 April 1857 at Columbia, California, by his death certificate S787. Other records disagree: the 1860 Claiborne Parish census has a W. B., 6, born in Mississippi, in his mother’s household, and the 1880 Angelina County census a William Walker, 21, born in Louisiana. The certificate’s date and place are kept. His parents were probably Daniel Green Walker and Mary Jane Bross; the certificate, informed by his widow, names them as Daniel Walker and Mary J. Brass or Bross S787. In 1900, aged 42, he headed a household in Precinct 2, Jackson County, Texas, with his wife Nancy J., a son Jackson J., 10, born in March 1890, and his widowed mother, Mary J. Daniels, 69 S808. In 1910 Daniel Jonah Walker, entered as “John”, 20, lived in his household at Palacios S406. No record names Willie B. as Daniel Jonah’s father, and the 1900 son’s given name does not match, so the link is Probable, though strong. His widow’s obituary of 1953 names W. B. as her husband and their children as R. T. (Rob), D. J., Naomi Walker Rogers, Ruth Walker Moody and Willie Walker Petrich S1305. He died of pellagra at Lolita, Jackson County, on 27 June 1914, and was buried in Lolita Cemetery S787.
