MFH: 29 June

Today is the 192nd anniversary of the birth of my great-great-great-grandfather, Jonathan Walker. Jonathan was born on 29 June 1816 on the Indian Creek, Monongalia County, Virginia (between Fairmont and Morgantown in West Virginia). He was eighth child and third son of James and Sarah (McMullen) Walker. On 28 November 1837 in Washington County, Ohio, Jonathan married Elizabeth S. Lowe. Jonathan and Elizabeth had 14 children (7 sons and 7 daughters). Jonathan died on 01 April 1897 at Dalzell, Liberty Township, Washington County, Ohio. My descent from Jonathan is as follows:
