Joseph Walker of PA/NJ b:1861 d:1918
Author: Joseph Walker, Jr.
Surnames: Walker, Krause, Green
I am a newbie to all of this - but am starting my quest to research my ancestry. I am the last male Walker from my family line for at least 4 generations.... and am looking for some connection to the past.
My gr-grandfather was Joseph Walker. I have no record of a middle name. He was born in 1861, I believe somewhere in PA (maybe Philly area). He died in 1918 - I don't know where, or where he is buried.
His first wife was Susan Krause – she died died in 1886
His second wife was Eliza Brooker Green from NJ – she died in 1942. Their only child was my grandfather.
As a child, I was told that my gr-gr grandfather was Joseph William Walker, and went by “William or Bill”; his father was also Joseph Walker. I have no "factual" information on anyone further back than my gr-grandfather - as posted above.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
