The Walker Family is a great American Family. We arrived in the new world in 1630 as Robert Walker and Sarah Leager, who came from England to Boston via the Winthrop Fleet of 1630. We are one of the first family lines with the Walker surname in the New World. This is a family of Patriots and Pioneers, and we are growing larger each year.

Due to the sheer number of related Walker descendants, our primary research is focused on our English ancestors and the first 3 generations of John & Lydia and Lydia Holmes Walker, to whom we owe a great deal. We honor them and dedicate this site to them and their posterity.

The ancestors of John Walker are sufficiently documented for six generations, back to the aforementioned Robert Walker. Records beyond that point are not reliable, though many possibilities exist. If you have additional information on this line, please let us know.

John Walker married Lydia Holmes, and later three other women. He fathered 14 children, of which a very large number were early members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon). This site contains information of interest to his descendants and his Ancestors.
