THE WALKER FAMILY

David Walker married Margaret Heatherington in Annan, Scotland, 1783. They had twelve children. The sixth child, John, born in 1795 mar- ried Jean Davison Weir, 1819. They, along with other members of the Weir family, emigrated to Canada in 1825.

On their voyage a five-year old daughter died and was buried at sea. The ship was grounded off the North shore of P.E.l. and many came ashore, among them ”The Walkers”. Mrs. John Walker was so fed up with the trip, she couldn’t be persuaded to continue to Ontario with the rest of the Weir family.

They settled on land, now owned by Robert Marchbank. Here they cleared 20 acres of land.

About this time new land grants were being given out so Mr. Walker walked to Charlottetown to receive the land where his descendents still reside. They lived at first in a log house. Later the home that is still in use was built with the foundation beams and hand hewn boards that are still in good condition. The house has had renovations three different times.

John and Jean‘s son David married Deborah Lowther and had four children namely: John, who died at age 17; Henry who married Harriet Clark and had one daughter Jean, (Mrs. Hal Sterns). living in Summerside.

David, married Margaret Ferguson. Their family is David Leroy, married to Addie Taylor who lives in the Walker Homestead; Helen, mar- ried to Brad Cairns, Summerside East; and Ruth died at age four.

The family of Roy and Addie Walker are Margaret, (Mrs. Irving Bos- well). Marshfield. who has three children: David, married to Shirley Morrison and their five children, all at home, are: Catherine, David, Patricia, Peter and Janice; Joan, (Mrs. Nason Glover), Kelvin Grove, has four children; Edwin, married Pauline MacCallum and has two girls: Sharon and Kimberley. The brothers David and Edwin farm the original land as well as other acreages within and in nearby districts.

At one time there were four generations of David Walkers living in the Walker home. This home was also used as a halfway house for the Rev. Mr. Patterson as he walked from his charge in Malpeque to North Bedeque. The little bedroom off the parlour was known as the preacher’s room. This was prior to the holding of Church service at New Annan Hall. As Mr. Patterson travelled to and fro people would come to the Walker home for Service.
