Huldah Walker was the daughter of Timothy Walker, of Rehoboth, Massachusetts, and his wife, Grace (Child) Walker. She was married on 25 Oct 1742 in Rehoboth to Josiah Carpenter (b. 8 Oct 1719; d. 31 Oct 1747) Following his death she was married between 6 Sep 1748 and 6 Dec 1748 to Lieutenant Daniel Wilmarth (born 29 Nov 1715 in Attleboro, MA; died 17 Feb 1769 in Attleboro, MA). It was Daniel Wilmarth's second marriage. Following her second husband's death, she was married 22 Feb 1772 (intentions) in Attleboro, MA to her first cousin, once removed, Ebenezer Walker (born 9 Dec 1716; died 5 Jul 1799), of Ashford, Connecticut. It was Ebenezer Walker's second marriage (his first wife was Bethiah Brown). Following her third husband's death, Huldah (Walker) Carpenter Wilmarth Walker returned to Attleboro, Massachusetts (then spelled Attleborough) where she had a life interest in a portion of the house she had shared with her second husband, Daniel Wilmarth. The remainder of the house and property had been bequeathed by Daniel Wilmarth to his step-son, Josiah Carpenter, Jr., the younger of the two sons of Huldah by her first husband, Josiah Carpenter.
Huldah Walker's grave marker does not survive. At the end of the nineteenth century, the Briggsville Burial Ground was in deplorable shape. One commentator noted:
“Very few stones are to be found at the present time, and those still standing will soon disappear if left alone. Possibly some might be found by digging beneath the surface, though attempts made in that direction have met with no result; either therefore there were none erected at many of the graves, or they have been totally destroyed.”
