John was born in King William County, Virginia
Supposedly his parents were John Benjamin Walker and Sarah Fleete but it is questionable.
John did not have a middle name. Some trees on ancestry.com have Jeremiah and some say Marion. There is no record and or other adequate proof or information of a middle name or who his parents were at this time. People like to make up stuff and speculate without proof! You have to have actual legitimate documentation.

John Walker immigrated to Franklin County, GA, where he married Sara Gates in 1805. They lived in Hardiman County, TN sometime between 1805 and 1812. In 1814, they settled in Topisaw Creek, MS. They lived near the Shady Grove Church in an house known as the "Sim Felder Place". In 1815, he built the home that is still standing today. John Walker died after a log fell on his head while he was building an addition to his home. His two youngest sons, David and Augustus, lived int he home with Sarah until after the Civil War. His son Jeremiah bought the home. The home went to Jeremiah's son, D. P. Walker upon Jeremiah's death.

John Walker and David Crockett: Best friends with Davy Crockett, they both witnessed the sale of a General Store in Tennessee and signatures are on the document. There is a document that I do not know how to find but my aunt did when she traveled to Shelby, Tennessee. If anyone has knowledge or knows how to find this record I would love to have a copy. My aunt did have one but her son destroyed and or lost all her research materials. As far as what I know about it is my mother and aunt went to the county courthouse back in the 80's and it was in a big ledger book. Both my aunt and mother have passed away and this is one record I would really love to get my hands on.
