I AM TRYING TO FIND A CONNECTION TO THE WALKERS AND HUGHES.
My grandmother was Laura WALKER, she married my grandfather Thaddeus AUSTIN. Laura's Father and Mother were Joseph and (Armenda or Arminda not sure of correct spelling of first name) HUGHES, of Petros, TN. Laura had a sister named Emma WALKER that married a John GRICE, and another sister Mattie WALKER that married a Jasper TUCKER, all of Petros, TN. Not sure of Laura's correct name. Family members have indicated it may have been: Laura Senna Ann, Laurasenna, or even Louannia. In NOTES written by Luther Austin, (my father) he list his mother as Laura Cena Ann Walker.
MAYBE THIS WILL HELP:
NOTE: Her name could have been spelled:Armidda, or Armenda, Catherine or Katherine, Amanda or Arminda???A granddaughter is named after her and her name is:Mattie Lucinda Arminda Katherine Austin.
NOTE:This information is from Edith AUSTIN Rice:Ike or Polk Tucker was a Ticket Agent at Petros, TN. At a train Depot there.Edith Austin and Laura WALKER Austin took a train from Mayland, TN to Petros, TN.Luke Austin (Laura's son) sent money so she (Laura) could make the trip to Jenkins, KY where Arminda Walker and Mattie Tucker were living.....this was about 1923 and this must have been AFTER Joseph died, that's why Arminda was there with Mattie in Jenkins, KY.Arminda Walker was buried at Petros, Morgan County, TN - but not sure if she was buried with her husband Joseph Walker or not.Not sure if Joseph was buried at Petros or not.
NOTE:Found this on the Internet, on a WALKER Bulletin Board:Someone searching for information about a William Hamilton Hughes/Hughs, born 2 Dec. 1827 in TN. First marriage was to Sarah Ann FOUST, and second marriage was to Celia Jane (Sealy Jane) EDWARDS MYERS.From Hamilton Co., TN, moved to Cullman Co., AL, then to Garland Co., AR.
======
NOTE:He had 7 children by Sarah Ann --Elizabeth Katharine, John McKendrie, Martha Jane, Hannah Arminda, Sarah Evaline, Mary Emmaline and Sarah Ann.
======
He had 8 children by Sealy Jane -- James W. R., Lucinda Melviry, Charles Thomas, Lillyan Annet, Tennessee Edith, Samuel B. Silas, Joseph Dalton and Edna Corah. Samuel B. Silas, Joseph Dalton, Charles Thomas and Edna Corah were on the 1900 and 1910 Garland Co., census.Joseph Dalton eventually moved to Sevier Co., AR, then on to OK.
I sure hope someone can help me out here.Thanks.
