From the "Memorial of the Walkers of the Old Plymouth Colony" by James Bradford Richmond Walker in 1861:
Daughter of the "Widow Walker" so named since her first name is not known. Speculation is that it was either Elizabeth or Molly. It is certain that the Widow Walker "…was one of the first purchasers and proprietors of the town of Rehoboth or Seacunc, now Seakonk, and one of the company who first settled there". "When and from whence she came to New England, and where she died are not known."
