I am from a BIG line of Walker's. Some of the names that I have found through my research are Edmond, Edward, Eddie, Dan, William, Louvenia (sp),Cornelia. I've traced my history back to Slavery. I know that my great grandfather married 3 times, with children from 2 of the marriages. I still reside in Mississippi and get with known family members for reunions.

Her maiden name was La Vina Taylor. Her name is spelled Levenia on her marriage certificate from 1878. She married Perry Walker who was born in Alabama. they married in tallahatchie, Mississippi. Our family stories describe her as a native woman, long straight black hair, heavy drinker and very strong and mean. they had 12 children but only 9 living in the 1920 census.
