Next, from Tyler's Quarterly Historical, Vol. XIV, "The Walker Family" by Lee Nicholson, p. 31:

"Theodorick Walker, (son of Capt. Robert Walker and Elizabeth Stark), generally known as "Major Theodorick Walker," was married in 1802 to Miss Ann Scott daughter of Cap. William Scott and Miss Ann Mason of "Laurel Branch," near Dinwiddie C.H., Va., (sister of General Winfield Scott), and shortly afterwards they removed to Columbia, Maury County, Tennessee, where all of their children were born [possible exception, Martha Ann Walker]. They later on removed to Mississippi, and it was at Quincy, Mississipi, that Major Theodorick Walker died on October 27th, 1836, and he was buried there. His wife, Mrs. Ann (Scott) Walker, was born at 'Laurel Branch,' Dinwiddie Co., Va., sometime about the last part of 1774 or the first part of 1775; and after Major Theodorick Walker's death she resided at Cotton-Gin-Port, Mississippi, and Richmond, Mississippi, and lastly at Verona, Mississippi, where she died sometimes during the first six months of 1872, in her 98th year of age.

"She appears to have been a lady of great vigor and vitality, for in 1862 when her sister's grandson, Dr. Thomas Jefferson Scott, who was then serving in the Confederate Army and camping near there, visited her he found her then, when 87 years of age, engaged in spinning cotton and weaving cloth to make clothes for the Confederate Soldiers..."
