[[James Walker|John Walker]], an Ohio farmer, was married to [[Mary Sarah Burnett|Sarah Burnett]], who was three-fourths American Indian. [[James Walker|John]]'s three sons: [[Samuel Walker|Samuel]], [[James Walker, Jr.|James]], and [[Joseph Walker|Joseph]], emigrated to Johnson County, Iowa from Ohio in 1837. Their father followed his sons in 1841. [[Samuel Walker]] and his wife, [[Elizabeth Ralston Stover| Elizabeth Stover]], were members of very respected families which were community leaders in the early pioneer days of Iowa. Their son John S. Walker, married Sarah Woodruff. [[John Samual Walker|John]] and [[Sarah E Woodruff|Sarah]] and their two daughters, Libbie (Hannah Elizabeth) and Hattie, moved to western Iowa and thence to the silver mines of Jefferson City, Montana. [[Elizabeth Ann Stover|Elizabeth Stover Walker]], having lost her husband, [[Samuel Walker|Samuel]], in 1852, accompanied them. Elizabeth died on 29 July 1888 in Jefferson City. The walker family returned to Iowa by wagon, as they had gone. They settled near Shelby, Iowa, where Libbie married Frank B. Linn. The children of Libbie and Frank were 3/64ths American Indian.

*(Note 1: The above paragraph contains a mistake. "John Walker" should read "James Walker, Sr.")
*(Note 2: Sarah Burnett's alleged Native American heritage is suspect. See [http://jimlindstrom.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Mary_Sarah_Burnett#Native_American-ness this discussion of the claim].)
