Maggie Wilson and Ras Marr were my grandparents.

I would appreciate ANYTHING you can send me!  I had been at a dead-end on
the Walkers for so many years.  I must admit I rather pushed them aside as
Walker is such a common name!

I did find Madison F. Walker on the 1870 Henderson Co., Tex. Census with
his mother Maregaret, brother Levi and sister Henrietta, and in 1880 with
his wife Mary E., son William L., daughter Lula D., daughter Indiana, and
daughter Pearl.

I have more Wilson information if you're interested in that.

I am going to scan Shelby's probate and try to send it to you.  I am new at
this so it may not work!

I am eagerly awaiting anything you will send.  I will be glad to sort it
out as to what applies to me and will pay for any cost to you.  Just let me
know.

Sincerely,
Eleanor
