Individual Details

William Walker is perhaps the man of that name who came on the Elizabeth in 1635 at the age of 15 and was at Hingham in 1643, when his name was on the list of those able to bear arms. In 1653 he was impressed to serve as seaman on a barque commanded by Richard Knowles, in anticipation of trouble with the Dutch. He was admitted a freeman of Plymouth Colony on 3 June 1656. According to the Snow Genealogy, the family lived on the north bank of the Great Pond at Eastham, about 500 yeards west of Sarah's father Nicholas Snow.

William Walker served as excise officer, highway surveyor, tithing man and constable at Eastham. On 3 March 1662 Ralph Smith was fined for striking William Walker during a dispute over a whale. Samuel Smith, who was husband of Sarah Snow Walker's first cousin was fined the same day for saying that he could find it in his heart to thrust a pen into William Walker.

On 2 June 1685 William Walker of Eastham was excused from military training, "have two natural sons in the training band and one killed in the warrs and some weaknesses and infirmity of body."

The will of William Walker, dated 8 March 1697 and proved 25 October 1703, mentioned wife Sarah, sons William and Jabez and daughter Elizabeth Walker, to whom was devised "the land where she lives."
