Individual Details

Samuel married a Molly and also said to have married Sally Woodall on 6 Dec 1784 in Pittsylvania Co VA. - see later that this marriage took place in Charlotte Co and is likely a very different Samuel Walters. He died in Madison County, Mississippi Territory, the part that became Alabama.

His often seen suggested birth as 1779 would not be possible if he married Sally Woodall in 1784. However, there is a will of a Samuel Walters in Jessamine Co KY in 1805 and his wife was named as Sarah - seems that he is a different Samuel & is most likely the husband of Sally Woodall, and the Samuel here was the husband of Molly. Additional research needed regarding this line.

Franklin Co GA Tax list of 1798 includes Samuel Walters. District 7, 3rd Division. 1 dwelling house. 200 acres, $440 value

In 1810, Samuel sold land in Franklin Co GA to William Cleveland. In Nov 1810 he applied for land in Madison Co, Mississippi Teritory [Alabama now], stating he was of Lincoln Co TN. The land was granted 29 Apr 1811. He was a private in the 7th Regt, MS Territory Troops [presumably War of 1812].

A very different birth year of 1749/50 seems as unlikely - Samuel was listed as the 6th son in his father's will and wills often reflect birth order. Estimates of birth years for all the children of Robert did not seem to take this into consideration.
Researcher Robert B. Walters gives a birth year as ca 1749 and lists children as:
Charles B. who married Sarah Horton on 4 Dec 1824, Madison Co AL
Benjamin F. Walters
Elizabeth Walters who married Peyton Vance
Orpha Walters who married William C. Thompson and lived in Tuscaloosa Co AL in 1830
Lucinda [b. 1 Jul 1795, d. 9 Sep 1890, Madison Co TX] who married (1) Alsimedan Thompson and (2) John Lennox about 1813 [See email below - this was Lucena, not Lucinda and John Lennox was her 1st husband.]Dosia who married Melton Swift

I was interested in the information found on your website concerning Lucena
Walters, born 1 July 1795, daughter of Samuel Walters.
Lucena (Pertheny) Walters married John Lennox(Lenox) 20 February 1813 in
Madison Co. AL. John Lenox (my ancestor) was a 1st Lt. in the War of 1812
and was killed in battle in January, 1814, leaving a son about 4 or 5 years
old. In probate records found in Madison Co. AL, Lucena asks for payment
for his care beginning with the date of her marriage to John Lenox. I'm
trying to determine if this child, Samuel W. Lenox, is Lucena's natural
child or if she is his stepmother. She raised Samuel even after her
marriage to Alcimedon Thompson and appeared on the various census records
with or near him in Tishomingo Co. MS, Ouachita Co. AR and finally, Madison
Co. TX.
I have a copy of her widow's pension file from the War of 1812.
If you know anything about this child, Samuel Lenox, please contact me.Marjorie
