Portal:Wigton Walker/Dispersion

Explanation
The following table attempts to show where various members of the first four generations of Wigton Walkers settled. The data shown is largely drawn from White 1902, with some adjustments made where additional information is available. Where there were multiple relocations, to the extent practical I've shown successive moves in successive entries. This is probably not complete, and for the most part, I'm taking White at face value---and her information was probably not complete either.

The data is organized roughly in family groups, though there may be a few disconnects in places. Note that where there have been "cousin marriages", the individuals may or may not be entered twice---once under the husband, and once under the wife.

Also, this table distinguishes between the "Walkers Creek Line", and the unrelated "Natural Bridge Line". White, 1902, combined these two independent lineages. We now believe that they were independent of each other based on YDNA results. Note that many of the "cousin marriages" noted in White 1902 are actually intermarriages between these two separate family lines. This is an important point to keep in mind; in some cases where a daughter in the Natural Bridge line marries a son in the Walkers Creek line, you can get a YDNA match with Walkers Creek, even though the lineage is placed under the Natural Bridge line. If that's confusing, keep in mind that our ancestors couldn't keep it straight either. That's why White ended up merging the two lines.
