Book Description

Excerpt from Lewis Walker of Chester Valley and His Descendants: With Some of the Families With Whom They Are Connected by Marriage, 1686-1896 Erry says: The name of Walker, as appears by certain records, was so called from their anciently holding various employments in the Royal Forests, as Verderers, King's Forest ers, or Walkers, having the custody of certain walks, boundaries, or allotments j but at what remote period the surname of Walker, simply, was adopted by any branch of the family as a distinguish ing appellation remains a matter of doubt.
