Text: First allow me to explain my interest: I am a descendent of John Walker born 1748 and Urcilla Covington. They were married in 1773 in Guilford County North Carolina.

They settled in present day near Cleveland/Rutherford County line where they resided until their deaths.

They are buried near New House NC in a family plot locatred on their original 640 acre plantation.

Now my question: Most people have John Walkers birth date as 1748 and his birthplace as Dan River Area, in Pennsylnvania County near present day Danville, Virginia.

. JOHN2 WALKER (WILLIAM W.1) was born 1748 in Dan River, Danville, VA, and died 13 Jan 1820 in Rutherford Co, NC. He married URCILLA COVINGTON 03 Feb 1773 in Guilford, NC, daughter of WILLIAM COVINGTON and MARY. She was born Abt. 1754 in Guilford, NC, and died 28 Mar 1848 in Rutherford Co, NC.



John Walker was born on the Dan River in Virginia near Danville, about the year 1748. His migration from Virginia to old Tryon County, N. C. was by way of Guilford County, N. C. where he remained long enough to marry Urcilla Covington. He then came on to old Tryon County and settled on the middle fork of Sandy Run Creek where he was granted 640 acres of land by the King of England.
John died on January 13, 1820 at the age of 72 years. His will, made shortly before his death and recorded in Rutherford County Will Book C, makes bequests as follows: "To my son, James Walker, the tract of land whereon he now lives, containing 20 acres adjoining lands of David Beam, and my other lands; my beloved wife, Urcilla Walker to be possessed with the whole of my estate both real and personal during her natural lifetime or widowhood, and at her decease or marriage, the whole of my estate to be sold and the money arriving therefrom to be equally divided among my children herein names, to wit: Thomas Walker, John Walker Jr., William Walker, Elijah Walker, James Walker, Joel Walker, Urcilla Dicus, and Susanna Walker - the rest of my children not to share any part of the above estate." He appointed his sons, Thomas and Eijah as executors for his will, and attesting witnesses were Daniel Gold, William Horton and John Frederick.
