The Walkers may justly be numbered with the old and substantial families of Pennsylvania, in many sections of which State its representatives may be found, and they follow the peaceful pursuits of agriculture as well as professional lives.
Benjamin Walker, grandfather of the members of this family of whom mention is to be made below, lived at Shelocta, Indiana Co., Pa., followed farming, and died there. He married Margaret Cunningham and seven children were born to them, namely: James and Benjamin, both of whom died at Shelocta, Indiana county; Alexander; Robert; Jane, Mrs. Walker; Margaret, who married David Johnson; and Mary, who married a Mr. McCullom.
