Carroll and LeFlore counties had Choctaw reservations. Walker is not an uncommon surname for those residents. Some Choctaws were sold into slavery either before or after the Trail of Tears. I have Walkers as well. Who clearly without doubt do not look African or European. Check the Dawse Roll and the Choctaw Nation Oklahoma site to see if your families names are referenced. There is also a Missippi Choctaw site as well. My Walkers (late 1800s) are Jordan, Columbus, and Florence. Florence Walker and Andrew Jackson (suspect no kin to the president) had children Ora, and Jordan (Jack). Hope this helps.
