SAMUEL Walker- (10) (John^) ; purchased land and established a home in Virginia about 1740, leaving Chester County, Pa., whither he had come with his father about 1735 from Newry, Ire- land, where Samuel was born Dec. 25, 1714. He was m. to Jane Patterson Dec. 5, 1740, in Virginia. In tracing the Patterson name intermarriages occur frequently with the Walker family. The old Rutherford Bible shows both names recorded therein soon after the emigration to America. He d. Feb., 1793. She d. Jan. 10, 1800, aged 80 years. Mrs. James E. Gray of Atlanta, sends the following in regard to land granted to Samuel Walker : "Samuel Walker obtained a grant of land in Bedford County, Va., July 20, 1768, also one April 6, 1769, in Augusta County, Va., and another in Botetourt County, Va., March 1, 1773. See records kept at Richmond, Va., Land Office." These grants were no doubt given on account of service in the Colonial Wars, as Samuel Walker's name appears in a list of Colonial Militia under Capt. John Buchanan. This company was from Augusta County, Va., and was in service in 1742. — See Virginia Historical Magazine, Vol. Till, No. 3.:
