- In an email dated July 7, 2016, Eugene A. Walker stated:Thank you for your two emails. Elizabeth Walker was born 20 Nov 1691 at Charlestown, Suffolk, Massachusetts. She was the daughter of Edward and Elizabeth (Dean) Walker. The family moved from Charlestown to Brookfield,
Worcester, Massachusetts, soon after 1700.
The origin of her father, Edward Walker, has not been ascertained, and thus
he may have been an original immigrant. Some references claim that he was
the Edward born 12 Oct 1663, son of Samuel and Sarah (Reed) Walker, and
grandson of Samuel Walker of Woburn. But that Edward, son of Samuel, was
killed in a battle with the Indians at Wheelwright Pond in New Hampshire in
1690. DNA testing has confirmed that Edward, the father of Elizabeth, is not
related to the descendants of Samuel Walker of Woburn.
My website covers only the descendants of Samuel of Woburn, and thus your
Elizabeth has not been included. The Edward who was the son of Samuel can be
found at this link (see footnote 39):
