Peter Gautier Walker married Bessie Dennis Robertson 8 June 1881 in Madison, Morgan Co., GA.

From The Madisonian, October 4, 1935
Burial of Mr P G Walker Last Friday
Funeral services for Mr P G Walker, whose death was reported in these columns last week, were held Friday morning at 11 o'clock from the chapel of the Hemperley Undertaking Co, a large crowd attending.
The services were conducted by Rev W S Adams, of the Madison Baptist church, who paid worth tribute to the distinguished ancestry and the long and useful life of Mr Walker and his wise counsel and strong leadership in the ventures and objectives of the county during a long and active career.
Interment was in the family lot of the old cemetery beside his wife, who died last year.
He is survived by three children, Mrs Ely Callaway, LaGrange, and Messrs Edmund and Pierre Walker, of this county, and by a large number of Walker relatives. He was the last of his generation.
He was the son of Edmund B Walker, who was born in the eighteenth century. Ike, Edmund, and John B were sons of John Walker, who came to Morgan County, early in the nineteenth century from Burke County, GA. The subject of this sketch was born in Madison on February 1st, 1859 at the old Willis home, on Second Street, where Mrs Smith now lives. His father later built the home at Walkerest, where Mr Pierre Walker now lives, and he moved with his parents there when only a child. His father first married Miss Smith, and to them a large number of children were born, the last survivor being Mrs Kit Walker Newton, mother of the late John T Newton, who died in Madison more than thirty years ago. His father then married Mary Gautier, of French parentage, whose people refugeed from France during the French Revolution. Two children were born to this union, Mr Walker and a sister, who died many years ago.
Mr Walker is survived by several nephews and nieces on Mrs Walker's side -- Mr Claude Peteet of Foley, AL, Messrs Dennie and Percy Peteet of Atlanta, and Morris Ackerman of Cleveland, OH, and others.

Peter G. Walker created the George Walker Family Tree in the late 1890's. This family tree has been passed down through many branches of the family, and is prominently displayed in several ancestral homes. It has provided a wealth of information for family researchers for several generations. A PDF of this family tree can be found at:
