The daughter Milcah married Nathaniel Ayers on 12 Jan 1813 in Habersham Co GA; she was born 23 Sep 1795 in Franklin Co GA and died 26 Jun 1854 in Habersham Co GA.

Son Robert born ca 1798 [I doubt this] and d. 1841. Said to have married a Nancy. Children: Word H., Green C., Rufus King, Alfred F., Abner C., James T. and two daughters, names unknown. In the 1850 Franklin Co Census, Green C. Walters was 39, or born 1811. There's no way his father Robert could have been born in 1798 as given online. Also Word H. Walters was in the 1830 census, and was then age 20-30, or born between 1800 and 1810 so Word was older than Green C. The Robert Walters in the 1830 census was aged 40-50 or born between 1780 and 1790 which seems much more likely for this man.

Green C. Walters said to have married Sarah Carnes [1809-1890], daughter of Richard Carnes. 30 Mar 1834 in Franklin Co. Her given name and age are confirmed by the 1850 Census. They perhaps lived in the part of Franklin which became Hart Co.

Jackson M. Walters married Polly Cawthon on 12 Feb 1828. Found in 1850 Census

Lucy Walters, daughter of Elijah married Steven Maret. She was born 28 Jan 1787.
