The West Virginia death index lists William Walker, age 62, died 15 Oct 1907 in Shatto, Jackson Co., WV, which would match the implied birthdate of 1845. But some online family trees give Willam’s death date as 3 Apr 1896.
Notes for William Edward & Sophronia Alice (Family)
Harrison Co., West Virginia marriage records list the marriage on 16 Apr 1868 of William E. Walker, age 23, son of Elliott & Malinda Walker, and Sophronia A. Bailey, age 17, daughter of Silas K. and Lucy J. Bailey.
This family is in my database only because I did some tracing on behalf of a descendant of their granddaughter Goldie Walker who married John D. Jones.
