The Eugene Wilson book on the history of the Wilson family indicates:

Samuel Wilson was born about 1780.  Oc Dec. 5, 1801 he sold the 500 acres of land granted to George Wilson in 1799 to Jacob Page for $250. (Bk 2 Pg 272)  His wife Leah signed the dower.  In 1808 he was listed as an admininistrator of the estate of his brogher Joseph Wilson.  On 23 Feb 1809 he purchased 200 acres of land near Cypress Pond (Green Savannah Lake) for $250 from the heirs of Joseph Turner (Bk H Pg 26)  This property he then sold on 20 Sep 1809 to Littleton Turner for $100 (Bk H pp 47-48)  On 19 Dec 1809, he, his wife and 3 children were granted a passport through the Creek Nation by the Governor of Georgia.  A receipt located in the estate papers of Joseph Turner (case 9 package 9) from David Edwards, the administrator, and dated 12 Sep 1812 stated that Samuel Wilson had "run away" to Amite Co, MS Territory on the Tangipahoa River.  The reason for his departure was not noted.  He appears in the 1816 Territorial Census of Mississippi in Amite Countl.  In 1820 he had moved to Pike County.  In 1830, 1840, and 1850, he was in Copiah Co MS.  The 1850 census of Copiah Co (family #133) lists a Samuel Wilson, a wife Martha, and three children, Martin, Vashti, and Solomon

2.  TURNER³ WILSON (SAMUEL², WILLIAM¹)¹.  He married (1) MOTHER OF ABI AND VASTI UNKNOWN¹.    He married (2) SARAH GRAVES¹. 

 

Notes for TURNER WILSON:

Turner was married twice.   The first wife, unknown, bore three children: Vashti, Abi, and Soloman. On 29 July 1835 he married Sarah Graves and the had 6 children of their own:  Amelia (or Parmelia), William, Rachel, Elizabeth, Maloney, and Catherine T.  Turner apparently died prior to 1850.   The 1850 census for Copiah Co. lists Vashti and Soloman living in the home with their Grandfather Samuel age 70 and his wife Martha, age 70 along with their Uncle (Samuel's son) Martin Wilson, age 40.  It would appear that the children of Sarah stayed with their mother.

Notes for SARAH GRAVES:

PARMELIA WILSON ,b.abt 1837   Found a Parmelia Wilson listed as a widow in the 1880 Cov. Co.,Ms. census,but don't know if this is the same Parmelia or not.If it is, then she either marr. a Wilson or pretended to be marr.lol There is also a Mealy Wilson,28f,and 2 children: O.J.,12f  and  J.F.,3m. She is living next door to M.J.(Malona J.) Graves and her 2 children, S.J.,7f and M.C./E, 3f . The children were Sarah Jane and Margaret/Mary. So, we are thinking that even though the age is off, this is probably Parmelia since Melee/Melia is a nickname for Parmelia/Amelia and Mealy is pron. the same, just sounds like something to do with corn meal.ha

 

MATTHEW WILSON, b. abt 1838. He is in the 1850 Cov. Co.census,but nothing else after that. Since it looks like Sarah and the kids moved back to Copiah Co.,Ms. by 1854, and he would have only been 12 - 16 yrs of age, he either took off on his own or he died.

 

WILLIAM F. WILSON, b. abt 1841

 

RACHAEL WILSON, b. abt 1842 Don't know where she is from 1860 when she is seen in the census living with her grandmother and Uncle Martin until 1900,but in the 1900 Lawrence Co., Ms. census, I found her living with a family named R.M.Welborn(widower) and a couple of children(listed as his). She was listed as Housekeeper,but the age was off. It showed that she was born in Dec 1843,but was only 37 years old.Doesn't quite add up.lol  It also showed her as being single.

 

ELIZABETH "BETSY" WILSON, b abt 1844 was first marr? to unknown Wilson and had a son named Martin,b. 1867.I found info in WMW of Cov.Co.,Ms. that shows that he marr. a Willie Ainsworth,b.abt 1869.

Then show Betsy married to Anderson/Andrew Rutland,but will have to send you that info later. It's not a lot,but I'm running out of time.ha

 

MALONA J. WILSON,b. abt 1845, her first husband ? was unknown Graves. Their dau., Sarah Jane Graves,b.either in 1859 or 1863

Notes for ABI WILSON:

In various census records from 1850 to 1900 her name was listed as "Abi", "Abire", and "Alice".   Her daughter-in-law told me in an oral history encounter at her home in 1980 that she was known as Abi (pronounced "A-BYE").  Her greatgrandson Curtis "Buddy" confirmed the pronunciation.  He told me that whenever his father wanted to see him work harder in the field, he would say, "Come on, show me the blood of old Abi."

Notes for WILLIAM M LEONARD:

 

 

William and his brother Hansford are believed to have stowed away on a ship from Scotland.   They were discovered half-way across and forced to work hard to pay for their passage.  The ship landed in Louisiana and Hansford remained in Louisiana.  William and Hansford (Hanse) saw each other only one time after that. William migrated to MS and Hansford stayed in Louisiana.   On 16 Jan 1850 William married Abi (pronounced A-BYE) Wilson in Lincoln County MS.  Before the civil war, he owned 680 acres of land.  He lost all of it but 140 acres during the occupation of Mississippi.  William enlisted in the Confederate army in Jan 1862.  He served in CSA Co K, 3rd MS Regiment. and was captured in Nashville and held prisoner by the Union until the war's end.   According to his military records he enlisted on Mar 6, 1862 at Handsboro.   During Sep-Oct 1862 he was listed as "sick in camp", Jan and Feb of 1862 - no entries, July and Aug 1862 - "Absent without leave", Sep - Oct 1863 - "Present", Nov - Dec 1863 - no entries, Mar - Apr 1864 - "left with pass from Gnl. Loring 6 days 12-25-1863",

 Aug - Feb 1864 - "absent without leave since 2-18-63". 

 

A brief history of the 3rd Mississippi Infantry follows:

 

 

Colonels -- John B. Deason, until reorganization; Thomas A. Mellon, wounded at Peachtree Creek; James M. Stigler, Third Consolidated, April, 1865. Lieutenant- Colonels -- Robert Eager, resigned; Thomas A. Mellon, to reorganization; E. A. Peyton, resigned; James B. McRae, resigned; Samuel M. Dyer. Majors -- Thomas A. Mellon, E. A. Peyton, Samuel M. Dyer, W. H. Morgan. Adjutants -- Benjamin Jones, 1861; Junius Poindexter, 1862; Fred S. Hewes, 1864.

 

Total original enrollment, 806 officers and men.

 

This was the Third Regiment, Third Brigade, Army of Mississippi, Charles G. Dahlgren, Brigadier-General, M. R. Clark, Adjutant-General, headquarters Camp Clark, at Shieldsboro. The organization was not completed until other regiments bearing higher numbers, were in the field. The nucleus of the regiment was the Shieldsboro Rifles and Gainesville Volunteers, which Captain Deason reported in camp at Shieldsboro under his command August 1, 1861. The regimental field officers were elected September 25, 1861. Company I was assigned to the regiment October 14, at Pass Christ/an.

 

In the fall of 1861, when the coast was menaced by the expedition to Ship Island under General Butler, General Polk, who had established a post at Columbus, Ky., made an urgent demand for reinforcements. In meeting this Gen. Mansfield Lovell, in command of New Orleans and the Mississippi coast, sent north nearly all the troops he had. In the latter part of November, General Lovell called the Third in from Mississippi Sound, and sent it, 800 strong, to the aid of General Polk at Columbus, Ky. There was protested against this by Governor Pettus and President Davis and General Lovell secured the return of the Third in January, 1862, as "a regiment peculiarly adapted to, and indeed, raised mainly for the defense of the intricate coast of Mississippi Sound." It was the plan of Governor Pettus to have three regiments, including the Seventh, Colonel Goode, and a battalion already organized (December, 1861), for coast defense. He said: "The Legislature has made an appropriation of $250,000 to build gunboats on the coast, and force will be required to protect the points at which they are to be constructed."

 

General Lovell reconnoitered, the enemy January 19, and found twenty-four vessels at Ship Island. "Two of the steamers got under way and drove us back to Pass Christian. Biloxi is not and never has been occupied by the enemy," he then wrote. "The reports about outrages and communications with the enemy are grossly exaggerated." The Third was stationed at Handsboro and Pass Christian. In February, 1862, General Lovell manned two one-gun launches with men of the Third for the defense of Bay St. Louis and Biloxi, but the boats were soon ordered sent to Mobile.

 

February 24, General Lovell notified Governor Pettus that on the request of General Beauregard he would send the Seventh Regiment to Tennessee: "There will be left as a guard upon the Mississippi coast Colonel Deason's Regiment and two batteries, together with Captain Norman's cavalry. I have heard from Ship Island recently and am convinced that we have little to apprehend from that quarter. I shall add, however, to the troops already near Handsboro, Captains Taylor's and Jones' companies of Mississippi Volunteers, making in all upwards of over 1,200 men."

 

April 3, 1862, seven companies of the Third were at Handsboro, under Colonel Deason, and three at Pass Christian, when the Federals landed 500 men at Biloxi, the expedition including three steamers. General Mansfield Love1l, commanding on the coast, arranged that Commodore Whittle should attack the enemy's boats with the steamers Carondelet, Pamlico and Oregon, while Deason attacked the troops but the Federals re-embarked, and reinforced with two steamers, compelled the Confederate boats to retire, landed 1,200 men and a battery, at Pass Christian April 4, and burned the camp and part of the clothing and stores of the three companies, which retired to Gainesville. Meanwhile, according to orders, Denson had marched to Biloxi. The regiment afterward returned to Pass Christian. The flag of the Third, captured that day by the Ninth Connecticut, was returned by that command on Connecticut Day at the New Orleans exposition, February 26, 1885, and received on behalf of the regiment by Colonel Dyer and Captain Curran.

 

In May, 1862, the regiment was re-enlisted for the war and reorganized in camp at Tangipahoa, La.

 

May 29, 1862, General Lovell, at Camp Moore, La., sent the Third, under Colonel Mellon, and the Twenty-eighth Louisiana, to reinforce Gen. M. L. Smith at Vicksburg. They were on picket duty during the bombardment of May 20 to July 27, 1862, began the work of fortifying Sugar Loaf Hill and remained on the river front guarding against surprise and always ready to meet an attack.

 

Listed July, 1862, as 35 officers and 476 men present for duty, aggregate present 709, present and absent, 886. In September, in command of Gen. M. L, Smith, Vicksburg, (Col. Mellon), 916 present and absent.

 

In January, 1863, with Smith and Lee at Vicksburg, aggregate effective 638. During Sherman’s Vicksburg campaign of December, 1862, the Third was stationed at Snyder's Mill, on the Yazoo, an important point, which was threatened but not attacked by land. General Pemberton ordered that the regiment inscribe "Vicksburg" on its battle flag.

 

January, 1863, Hebert's Brigade, Maury's Division, of Vicksburg army, Gen. C. L. Stevenson commanding. February 13, reported 572 effective present, not brigaded.

 

General Featherston was given a brigade command about this date, including the Third, which was detached with Hebert at Snyder's Bluff. The brigade operated on the Rolling Fork and Sunflower against Federal expeditions in March, and on March 28 the Third went to Fort Pemberton, at the junction of the Tallahatchie and Yazoo, and was attached to General Loring's command. After this Featherston's Brigade, Loring's Division, was composed of the Third, Twenty-second, Thirty-first, Thirty-third and First Battalion. Colonel Mellon commanding, May 30; Major S. M. Dyer, July 30.

 

At the battle of Baker's Creek, May 16, Featherstone’s Brigade was first put in line of battle at the right of Pemberton's line, on the Raymond road, and was held in that part of the field, while the battle was raging on their left, where the flank attack was made, until 2 or 3 o'clock in the evening, when they were ordered to the support of Bowen and Stevenson. They marched as rapidly as possible about two miles, preceded by Buford's Brigade, but found no one to give them orders. General Loring formed a line, including a part of S. D. Lee's Brigade, and was about to advance when orders came from General Pemberton that Loring should cover the retreat to Edwards. Featherston accordingly held his brigade in line of battle, the regiments posted to cover the different avenues of approach, and three pieces of artillery playing upon the enemy. Twice the brigade was advanced to new positions, but the last position exposed them to attack in flank and rear, and it was necessary to withdraw. "During this skirmish, and in fact the entire day, my brigade behaved well," Featherston reported. The last position taken was not abandoned until General Loring so ordered, when Featherston moved toward the Baker's Creek Ford, but found that Loring was not crossing there, but seeking a crossing somewhere below. In the night, finding no guide to a crossing. the division turned back toward Crystal Springs and Jackson.

 

General Osterhaus, commanding the Federal force near the railroad bridge on the Big Black, during the siege ofVicksburg, reported in his front, June 21, the Third, Sixteenth, Twentieth and Twenty-second Mississippi infantry, mounted, under the command of Colonel Lyon, Eighth Kentucky.

 

Colonel Mellon commanding Featherston's Brigade, Loring's Division, army of General Polk, at Canton when Sherman began his march from Vicksburg to Meridian, February, 1864. The Third was ordered to Jackson February 4, and thence fell back with Polk's command to Demopolis, Ala.

 

Transferred in the spring of 1864 to Montevallo, Ala., the brigade moved to Resaca in time to take part in the opening battle of the Georgia campaign. Near New Hope Church, May 31, there was a brilliant charge of the skirmish line of Featherston's Brigade, Lieutenant-Colonel McRae commanding the left of the line. The men were not content with driving in the skirmishers but charged the Federal line of works, and suffered a heavy loss, about 100 killed and wounded out of 400 engaged.

 

In the battle near Kenesaw Mountain or Marietta, June 27, brought on by Federal attack, the Third Regiment, on the skirmish line, under Major Dyer, with Stigler's sharpshooters, in front of the brigade, sustained the attack and held the Federal line in check through the day. repulsing one advance that came within sixty yards of their position, at four in the evening. Featherston reported, "A brisk fire was kept up on this line during the evening, and both the battalion and Third Mississippi Regiment acted with great coolness, courage and determination." Roll of Honor, published August 10, 1864: "Third Mississippi Regiment of infantry, for gallant and meritorious conduct while on picket duty at Kenesaw Mountain, July 2, 1864." In general orders, Private J. W. Patterson, Company C, was commended for gallantry on picket duty, on Kenesaw .Mountain, July 2. In the battle of Peachtree Creek, July 20, Colonel .Mellon commended the regiment, which joined in the gallant charge of the brigade across the creek and gained a position on the summit of a slight elevation, partially protected by a rail fence. Colonel Mellon was severely wounded as this position was gained, and Captain A. F. Ramsey and Lieutenant John P. Gressett were killed. Lieutenant-Colonel Dyer took command, and after losing many of his best men, and being exposed on both flanks, he withdrew from the attack with the brigade. The casualties were 11 killed, 71 wounded, 6 missing. They were again in battle July 28, and after that served in the trenches around Atlanta until the evacuation, September 1.

 

In his report of the battle of Peachtree Creek, General Featherston gave honorable mention to his staff: Capt. C. P. Neilson, Capt. W. G. Poindexter, Lieuts. A. N. Parker and W. G. Sykes.

 

In the October, 1864, campaign on the Chattanooga and Atlanta Railroad, Featherston's Brigade captured the Federal post at Big Shanty, was with Loring's Division in the capture of Acworth, and with Stewart's Corps in the destruction of the railroad between Dalton and Resaca, after which they moved through the mountains to Gadsden, Ala., skirmished at Decatur, October 26-29, and moved thence to Tuscumbia.

 

November 6 Stewart’s Corps formerly known as the Army of the .Mississippi, reported 12,684 aggregate present, and an enrollment of 26,714. On the 20th they crossed the Tennessee River, and after marching to Columbia to confront Schofield's Corps, and toward Spring Hill on the 29th, in the attempt to cut off the Federal retreat, Loring's Division joined in the assault upon the intrenched lines at Franklin November 30. Loring's Division, on the right of Stewart's line, toward the Harpeth River, had to cross a deep railroad cut and an abatis and hedge of Osage orange, exposed to a destructive artillery fire and without much artillery support. The battle raged from four in the evening until late at night, the Confederate line pressing forward again and again with dauntless courage and meeting with terrible loss. General Featherston reported that three flags were lost by his brigade. "The color bearers of the Third and Twenty-second planted their colors on the enemy's works and were wounded and captured with their colors." "The flag of this company [Co. I] was adopted as that of the regiment. James A. Sconyers of this company was the color bearer and the flag of Company I continued to be that of the regiment until the Stars and Bars was chosen by the Confederacy. The flag of Company I was borne in every engagement until the battle of Franklin, when Lieut. John Cherry of the Downing Rifles planted it on the breastworks, and in so doing fell with the flag, wounded, inside the works." (Yazoo County Roster and Sketches.) Lieut.-Col. S. M. Dyer, commanding the Third, was among the wounded. Among the killed were Adjutant L.M. Long, Lieuts. J. T. Young and A. J. Russell, and Ensign J. J. Cherry. The casualties of the regiment were 13 killed, 40 wounded, 20 missing. The casualties of the brigade were: Killed, 16 officers, 60 men; wounded, 22 officers, 178 men; missing, 4 Officers, 72 men. December 9, the return of Stewart's Corps was 8155 aggregate present, 2,317 prisoners of war, and an enrollment of 21,052. On that day Featherston's Brigade had. 1,208 present, 781 effective. They were then before Nashville, Loring's Division occupying an intrenched line one mile long, across the Granny White pike, to support which line redoubts were partly completed on five hills. When General Thomas attacked December 15, Walthall manned the redoubts with his division and French's, and Johnson's Division reinforced them. But two of the redoubts were carried, and the Federal troops pushed down the road, compelling Walthall to abandon the line, "not a moment too soon, and this of itself made it necessary for Loring to withdraw. The latter was also directed to form along the Granny White pike, nearly at right angles to his former position, to check the anticipated rush of the enemy from his and Walthall's fronts. This was gallantly and successfully done by this fine division, the corps retiring to a position between the Granny White and Franklin pikes, when night put an end to the conflict." (Stewart).

 

Next day, December 16, Stewart's Corps repulsed to the last every attack made upon them, but finally Bate’s line, on their left, was broken, and the entire army retreated in confusion to Brentwood. The old Army of the Mississippi covered the retreat across Duck River December 18-20, and they were again the last to cross at the Tennessee River, December 26-28. Capt. O. H. Johnston was in command of the Third December 10. The return of December 21 showed an aggregate present for the Third of 75, 51 effective. At Columbia, December 20, a rear guard of infantry was organized under the command of General Walthall, including Featherston's Mississippians and six other brigades.

 

They remained at Columbia confronted by a heavy force of the enemy, until the army had been on the march forty-eight hours, their spirits rising superior to the great misfortunes which had befallen them. On the march they traversed roads covered with snow and ice, numbers of the men without shoes, some without blankets and all poorly clad for the season. At Anthony's Hill, December 25, and at Sugar Creek next day, Featherston's Brigade was distinguished in checking the Federal pursuit, making considerable captures of men and horses.

 

They reached the vicinity of Tupelo January 8, 1865.

 

About the first of February, 1865, the remnant of Loring's Division began the movement to reinforce General Johnston in the Carolinas, Sherman having marched to Savannah. They were ordered forward from Augusta. Ga., to Newberry, S. C., February 25. In the Carolina campaign they participated in the battles of Kinston, March 10, and Bentonville, March 19, on the latter day making a gallant charge and suffering heavy losses. Organization of army, near Smithfield, N. C., March 31, 1865, shows Major-General Walthall in command of Stewart's Corps, Featherstone's Brigade commanded by Major Martin A. Oatis, the Third Regiment by Captain John Saucier.

 

April 9 the Third, Thirty-third and Fortieth Mississippi were consolidated as the Third, Col. James M. Stigler commanding. Stewart's Corps, March 17, including the Mississippi brigades of Featherston and Lowry, had 1,349 present, 890 effective.

 

Hostilities were suspended April 18, and the army was surrendered, near Durham Station, April 26.

 

Union records list him on their "deserter list" on  12/15/1864.  It seems that when Loring's army was routed in Nashville, William and many others were forced to surrender.  He took an oath of allegiance to the United States on Jan 14, 1865 and was held prisoner at Nashville until the end of the Civil War.  Upon his enlistment he was listed as " Age 38, 5'10", complexion - dark, Hair - Black, Eyes - Black."  At the time he was imprisoned, the Union listed him as "5'10", complexion - light, Hair - Brown, Eyes - Blue". When he got home he had a four year old son he knew nothing about (William...known to the family as Bill).  According to Bill in oral history passed down to his son and grandson, his father rode up on horseback after the end of the war.  Bill was playing in the field with a matchbox containing three baby mice, so small they didn't even have hair yet.  William asked the boy where the Leonard family was.   Little Bill did not realize it was his own father.

 

Pension application records list him as being born on Sep 12, 1837 (probably an error) and dying on May 26, 1906.  He is buried in the Little Bahala Cemetary in Wesson MS.

Obituary taken from the December 5, 1941 edition of the Crystal Springs, MS "Meteor"

 

"MRS. M.B.CARTER DIED SUNDAY, NOV 30, AFTER LONG ILLNESS - Friends were grieved to hear of the death of Mrs. M. B. Carter, highly respected citizen of this city, who passed away at the family residence Sunday, November 30, at 2:30 O'clock.

 

Mrs. Carter was the widow of the late R. W. Carter and moved here with her family from Wesson 26 years ago.  She has been in bad health for several years but has been confined to her bed for the past three or four months.  She was a member of the Baptist Church and funeral services were held Monday afternoon at Little Bahala Church near Wesson, Rev. A B Pierce, officiating. Internment took palce in Little Bahala Cemetery.

 

Mrs. Carter is survived by three daughters, Mrs, J. W. Walker (note...should have read Mrs. R. J. Walker) of Louisville, Ky; Mrs. J. T. Weeks, Mrs. R. H. Eady of Crystal Springs, and three sons, R.H.Carter, Laurel; Ray Carter, Milan Tenn. and Albert E. Carter, Crystal Springs.  One brother William Leonard of Wesson and several grandchildren also survive."

 

I have on file, a copy of a hand written document dated 2 Feb 1893 that reads:

 

"What therefore god hath poined together man put asunder.

This is to certify

 

That Mr. R. W. Carter

and Miss M. B. Leonard

 

were united by me in

Holy Matrimony

 

at 4 miles East of Wesson on the 2nd day of Feb. 1893

 

In presence of friends and relations

Notes for ROBERT WILEY CARTER:

Robert Carter was born in Smith County, Mississippi.  After marrying, He and Malinda owned a store in Wesson, Mississippi.   He also served as Justice of the Peace in Wesson.  He had a stroke at age 44 and was confined to a wheelchair until his death at age 53. 

 

In the Wesson Enterprise dated June 20, 1919 the following obituary is printed:

 

"Robert Carter died in his home at Crystal Springs last Monday.  His body was buried in the Little Bahala Cemetary, six miles East of Wesson, last Wednesday.  Mr. Carter was a brother of A. N. Carter of this city.  He leaves a wife and several children."

 

Malinda and Robert are buried side by side in the Little Bahala cemetery in Wesson, Miss.  His grave is marked "Father", hers is marked "Mother" and they are flanked by the graves of children Rowen and Frank.  Clarence is also buried closeby.

 

The following note is from a letter written by Mrs. Helen Eady Jones, daughter of Minnie Carter Eady, to the "Carter cousins" on Dec. 20, 1985.

 

"Our grandparents (Robert W. and Malinda Leonard Carter) were very poor.   All of our parents had to quit school and go to work at an early age.  My own mother (Minnie) quit school after the sixth grade.  She worked in a box factory with Aunt Mabel.  As you can see, Grandma and Grandpa were married Feb 2, 1893 and Uncle Hugh was born one year later, January 6, 1894, and from then on they had a baby nearly every two years.  Two of the babies died in infancy, Clarence Richard Carter and Walter Rowan Carter.  Our Uncle Frank (William Franklin Carter) lived to be 22 years old.  He died of pneumonia.  The other six children lived to be grown and married.  Among them they had 14 children who lived to be grown and married and that is us - The Carter Cousins.  We are scattered all over the United States."

"   Aunt Maybell was living in the Manhattan Health Care Center in Jackson MS when I visited her in 1980, and at her death in 1984.

 

In the Crystal Spring Meteor, 17 October 1984, the following obituary appeared:

According to Mary Walker Bracksieck (daughter):

 

"Dad was born in 1894.  He could not remember the town he was born in. As a young boy, he was farmed out to other farmers who needed someone to work their farms.  He was very yong and could not remember much of his Mother and Father.  He lost track of his brothers.  He finished the second grade in school and said he was about 8 years old when he got his first pair of shoes.  He worked for his keep.  His Mother and Father had too many kids to feed and could not afford to keep him.  He lived with several families in Kentucky, Illinois and Indiana before he went out on his own.  He was married and divorced before he met our Mom.  Her last name, I believe was Darnell, some of her family attended the same church we did as kids.  It was a short marriage.  They married just before he was shipped overseas to France during WWI.  She apparently found someone else while he was gone.  When he joined the Army, he met his brother Dan at (I believe) Fort Taylor in Louisville. Dan got him together with his other brothers.  Dan was married 5 times, twice to Aunt Agnes, who I remember.  Charlie lived next door to us for a time, (before I was born). He was killed, the killer never found.  Mom thought his wife Billie did it.  Charlie made illegal gin during prohibition.  The others, Dad never mentioned.

 

Dad met Mom in Crystal Springs.  She was playing the player piano for the silent movie at the time.  After they were married, they lived in a box car for 2 or 3 years.  Dad worked for the raliroad (L&N I think) as a carpenter.  They lived in several towns, just hooked the boxcar home to a train to transfer.  Your Dad, Rollie was born during this time.  He is the oldest, followed by Mable.  Dad lost his job with the railroad and worked, helping build the Selbach Hotel in Louisville until her started working for the K&I Railroad.  He worked there until he retired."

 

According to Edna Ray Walker Hendrickson (daughter):

 

"I wonder if you have found any information on Uncle Luke?  We had a picture in our dining room that was always there and we refered to him as Uncle Luke, as did Mom and Dad.  We never questioned who he was and Mom and Dad never explained.  Now I am curious as to who he was and seems none of my sisters know, but they do remember the picture.  Don't even know what happened to the picture.

 

Also have oftern wondered what happened to the tool box my dad made for your dad when he was just a teenager.  Dad made a normal size one for himself and smaller one identical for Rollie.  They were both so proud of them."

 

In the 1910 Federal Census in Kentucky, Marshall Co. Enumeration District 138 p. 4 Rollie is listed as Jeff Walker (he was often known by his middle name throughout his life), age 15 and is living as a Lodger with the family of John Devine a 41 year old WM farmer, his wife Nettie L. age 40, and their 6 children.  In 1920 he is living with his brother Charlie and Charlie's wife Virginia on  in Jefferson Co. KY, Louisville, ED 171, sheet 12.  His name is spelled as "Raleigh" on this document.  In this census, the father of both Charlie and Rollie was shown as being born in Louisiana.  Charlie was listed as a carpenter on the railroad and Rollie was a carpenter on a bridge.  I remember being told as a child that my grandfather was a carpenter who built bridges for the railroad.

Notes for HELEN EADY:

Helen Eady Jones and Owen Jones lived in the Eady home which had been in the family for 100 years.  They tore down the fruit stand (which in my memory, was located right next door)and replaced it with a small store.  Helen served as my informant for much of the information on the Carters when I visited her in 1980.  Before her death abt 1990 from Amiotropic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gherig's Disease), she mailed family history information to the following people that I have discovered:   Hugh Allen Carter, Virginia Carter Kite, Betty Walker, Mary Walker Brackseick, Linnie Walker Monroe, and Julie Lynn Walker Obrist.   I feel certain she sent more packets out before she died and her desire to keep the family history alive has been my inspiration in pursuing this project.   She also gave her daughter Dianne a comprehensive family history which I am attempting to merge with my information.

Notes for ROLLIE JEFF WALKER:

Rollie attended Emma Dolfinger School, Western Junior High School, Dupont Manual High School, and Kentucky Wesleyan College.  He worked at a clerk at Mr. Belker-Arnold's Pharmacy at 2nd and Oak in Louisville from Oct 1941-Nov 1943, and was a machine operator at the Henry Voght Machine Co in Louisville from Jan 1944-Jun 1944.  He also served in the United States Navy during World War II and the Korean conflict.  During WWII he was stationed on the USS Markab (AD-21) a supply ship from Oct 1945 to July 1946.  Prior to that assignment he attended the Naval Training Center at Camp Perry, Williamsburg, Va from July 1944-Oct 1944, Wright Junior College (Pre Radio Course) in Chicago, Ill from Oct 1944-Nov 1944, the Primary Radio Material School, University of Houston, Houston TX from Nov 1944-Feb 1945, the Advanced Radio material School, Treasure Island, San Francisco, CA from Feb 1945-Oct 1945.  He then returned home to 2203 Lytle Street in Louisville and lived from Oct 1947-Feb 1948 at 1470 S. Floyd St in Louisville. He worked as an installer with Western Electric Co at 5th and Chestnut St in Louisville from Aug 1946-Feb 1949.  He was a wireman at General Electric Co in Owensboro from  Feb 1949-May 1953 and a Lab Tech under the supervision of Mr. A.P. Hasse from May 1953-May 1959. He was promoted to electrical engineer in Circuit Development, Advanced Development Engineering Section, in May of 1959.  In September of 1950 he was reactivated for the Korean Conflict and assigned to the USS Missouri (BB-62) until Feb 1952.  During that period, his home of record was 322 E 5th St in Owensboro Ky.   In Feb 1952 he moved to 1714 Bluff Ave, In Owensboro and then in Sept 1958 he moved to 1750 Sioux Place in Owensboro.  In the early 1970's he, his wife Betty, and daughters Mary Lou, Nancy, and Julie moved to Liverpool NY where he was transferred with General Electric.

He died on Apr 6, 1978 at Liverpool NY from a coronary thrombosis.  He was getting dressed for work when the attack occurred and he died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital in Syracuse.

 

According the Edna Walker Hendrickson (sister):

 

"Rollie had his violin - did any of your family learn to play that and is it still in the family?  I hope so, I remember Rollie and his dog Tip sitting the back porch and Rollie would play the violin and Tip would sit right next to him and howl in tune with the violin.  Another trick Rollie would play is, the dog was not allowed in the house but at night, Rollie would sneak Tip in and put him under his bed for the night and the dog would wag his tail and it would thump on the floor and everyone in the house knew what was going on but nobody ever said a thing.   Just some childhood memories that I cherish.  We had such a wonderful life and such wonderful parents that gave us such good values to live up to.  We are so fortunate.  They seemed to know what we needed and when we needed it.  So fortunate.  There are so many memories we have that we should try to share them with you and your family.  Maybe one day we can accomplish that."

Notes for HUGH ALLEN CARTER:

Hugh Allen had very faint memories of his father's family because his parents were divorced/separated when he was about 7 years old.  He visited Crystal Springs in 1988 and visited the cemetary where his father and Uncle Albert were buried.   He remembers visiting my grandparents (Ora Lee and Rollie Walker and family) in Louisville in approximately 1950.  He recalled to me that he remembers sitting out in the yard and the conversation came up about getting water in your lungs and one of the girls (Most likely Florence or Mary) asked her mother if she could inhale a teaspoon full of water through her nose.  She was not allowed to.  He also remembered visiting an amusement park while they were there.   Although he couldn't remember the name of the place, it sounded like "Fountain Ferry Park" where my parents and grandparents often took me as a small child.  He is currently employed at American Ordinance where he has been for the past 30 years, and works estimating job costs.  In his spare time, he enjoys golf and fishing.

Notes for MICHAEL J. WALKER:

Michael Walker was born in the Daviess County Hospital on Oct 19, 1949. He was the first child born to Elizabeth Marie Higdon Walker and Rollie Jeff Walker, Jr.  Shortly after his birth, his family moved from 322 E. 5th Street, in Owensboro, to 1714 Bluff Avenue, Owensboro.  Michael attended Blessed Mother Catholic School for grades 1-3.  At age ten, his family moved to 1750 Sioux Place in Owensboro and Michael transferred to the Immaculate Conception School for grades 4-8.  He enrolled in Owensboro Catholic High School as a freshman in 1963 and graduated from there in June 1967 ranked 30th in a class of 300.  He then moved to Lexington, KY and attended the University of Kentucky for one year, majoring in English with a minor in Journalism.  At the end of his first year, Michael transferred to Brescia College in Owensboro, studying Education, focusing on the field of Special Education.  Michael married Victoria Lynn Thompson of Owensboro at St. Stephen's Cathedral in 1969 and the couple had a daughter, Mischelle Marie Walker born on 10 Sep 1970.

 

At this point, Michael was eligible for the draft and chose instead to enlist in the US Navy Reserve.  He went to active duty for training at Naval Station, Great Lakes, Ill.  He then was assigned to the US Amphibious Naval Base at Little Creek, Va and from there, to the USS Belknap (DLG26) until his enlistment was up in 1972.  While aboard the Belknap, he visited in Nova Scotia, Puerto Rico, Greece, Spain, Italy, France and several Greek Islands.

 

Upon return from duty with the Navy, Michael enrolled once again at Brescia College.   He and Victoria were divorced in 1973 and he moved to Montgomery, AL and enrolled at Auburn University at Montgomery where he received his Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education in 1976.  He went on and was awarded a Master's Degree in Education Administration in 1979 from AUM.

 

Michael married Mary Ann Cranfield in 1974 and the couple had three children.  Michael Jeffery Walker, Jr. b. 10 Feb 1978, Jennifer Lynn Walker, b. 23 Nov, 1979, and John Gordon Walker, b. 23 Oct 1981.

 

He went to work for the Montgomery Public School system in 1976 as a 5th grade teacher at Highland Gardens Elementary School.  He was transferred in 1978 to Brewbaker Elementary and worked there as a 5th and 6th grade teacher until 1980.  At that point, he left education and worked as a Real Estate agent for 18 months.  He returned to Brewbaker in 1981 and picked up his teaching career.  In 1984 he was named as Assistant Principal at Wares Ferry Road Elementary School.

 

In 1990 he and Mary divorced and he married Ramona Lynn Colquitt in 1991. They have two sons, David Alex Walker, b. 15 Aug 1995 and William Travis Walker, b.  May 22, 2002.

 

in 1990, Michael was promoted to Principal at Harrison Elementary School in Montgomery, and in 1993 he was transferred back to Wares Ferry Elementary to take over as Principal there.  He currently serves in that capacity.
