“Freeman Walker, my grandfather, born September 23, 1734 (son of David and Mary Munford Walker), was of Irish descent. He married Frances Belfield, of the Northern Neck of Virginia, a lady of English family of high birth, and settled a place called Stephen’s Green on Buckskin Creek, in Dinwiddie County, Virginia, ten miles from the courthouse and thirty miles from Petersburg. They had five children: two sons and three daughters. He died in the prime of life, when his youngest daughter was but six months old. His death was caused by lockjaw.” 469
