Bio
It isn't known just when Samuel left Ohio; he may have spent a year in Missouri before coming to Fremont County, Iowa, about 1866. That fall, he bought land on Deer Creek, and lived there in a small log cabin. 7 July 1870 - US Census - Monroe Township, Fremont, Iowa Household ........Sex .....Age Birthplace Samuel Walker .Male ....40 ..Pennsylvania(sic) Susan Walker ...Female 30 ..Ohio(sic) William Walker .Male ....7 ....Ohio Jessie Walker ....Male ....4 ....Ohio(sic) Julia Walker ......Female 2 ....Iowa(sic) Mary Walker ......Female 1 ....Iowa Mann Foster ......Male ....18 ..Ohio Alphonse Foster Male ....12 ..Ohio Note: Birth states for Samual and Susan were reversed in error on census record.
