View Photo Only



  • John Walker was born around 1813 in Indiana. He was a Doctor and a Shayman in his village. His mother was a full blood Cherokee. They lived in Missouri and died there.

    John was married several times. His last marriage was to a 16 year old girl names Barbara Ellen Reffett from Indiana. He met her at a train station in Center Point Indiana on his way to a Doctors convention. John was in his 50's when he married Barbara. With John came a son when he married Barbara and his name was Ozias Walker. I can not find Ozias's mother because I can not find John's previous marriages. Ozias married a German woman by the name Augusta/Augustine Bornemann. Her parents were August Bornemann and Mary Ginter/Gunter. They both were from Germany.

    I have found a grand daughter of John Walker who is still living. She remembers stories that her father told her about John's mother's people. Her father William ( who was a son of John and Barbara) was just a very young boy when John died. All the children except the baby which Barbara took with her back to Indiana to her parents, stayed behind with John's Cherokee people. They lived with them for 5 years until Barbara remarried and came back to get them.

    I would like to find John's Cherokee family.
