Hello, David. A cousin in Texas has been researching the Walton’s in Virginia... as she is related through what we call “both lines:” …the line from Edward Walton and Elizabeth Booth Napier, and the line from Robert Walton and Frances Sherwood, parents of Robert Walton (II) who was the father of George Walton, signer; Edward definitely being a generation or two before Robert’s (Edward born abt 1645, Robert born abt 1692.) The problem is: no positive proof has yet been found of a tie, a relationship between the two. I think anyone you talk with about this would say they think there IS a link, but there is no proof to that. I keep hoping someone will come forward with a family Bible, perhaps, that can offer some sort of proof, in the absence of official records.

Your line, I assume from the names, comes from Robert Walton (grandson of Edward) who married Keziah Overton? I would love to know more about your line…. ??? Overton Harrison Walton died in Putnam County, GA.

I know that both of these “lines” intermarried…. My cousin in Texas being a prime example, as she is a descendant through Edward Walton’s line, and also through Robert’s line… the Walton’s of Augusta.

I would be very interested in learning more about your line… and who knows… perhaps one day we will find the missing link! Thanks, Ginga Mylius gmylius@charter.net

Below are some of my notes, on the Overton/Walton line (some notes withheld for the privacy of living descendants – some withheld because of space) Please forgive typo's... and any corrections or additions welcomed!

He stated that a few years since he picked up Brown in the streets of Augusta and took him home with him. Brown was then in a half starved condition, clothes in rags and utterly destitute. He was well taken care of by Mr. Walton and reapid the latter's kindness by stealing his horse. Brown was committed to jail yesterday by Justice Habersham, to await the arrival of a proper officer from Jefferson." When the man was captured, he confessed that he had stolen the animal from Mr. Pleasant Walton of Jefferson County. According to his statement he broke open the door of the stable on Mr. Walton's plantation, at 12 o'clock Monday night, took out the horse, saddled and bridled it, and then rode it to Augusta, a distance of forty miles.

I am not sure if any of my WALTON line was in St. John's County, but am checking all counties local to Putnam, where my grandmother, Clarinda Virginia WALTON was born on 20 Dec 1897. Her parents were Eugene George Marion WALTON b. 1867 in Uchee, Russell Co., AL and Alice Theodosia JOHNSTON b. 1870 in Hatchechubbee, Russell Co., AL. I do not know how or why they wound up in Jacksonville. Their children were born in AL and in FL. Children were: Marion Walker Walton; Eugene Malachia Walton; Clarenda Virginia (*my grandmother); Louise Theresa Walton; Nellie Elizabeth Walton; Lafayette Everette Walton; Maggie Mae Walton; Davis Alexander Walton; Caroline Alice Walton; Labon Scott Walton; Sara Lucille Walton.

Parents of Eugene George Marion WALTON were Thomas Marion WALTON b. 1821 in St. Claire, Burke Co., GA (*he was a physician, graduating from Augusta Medical College in 1850, and served in the CSA as an Aid to Captain Emory) & Mary Elizabeth JOHNSON born in 1831 in Greene Co., GA (daughter of Labon Scott JOHNSON and Susannah WALKER).

Parents of Thomas Marion WALTON were Robert WALTON b. 1771 place unverified, d. Lincoln Co., GA; & Dorothy BUSSEY (dau. of Thomas Bussey and Judith (?)(*I do have some Bussey inf. also). Maybe these areas will give you a direction to go in your search. Suz

Auburn, Ala., April 28, 1925

William O. Walton of LaFayette, lawyer, editor and representative in the
legislature, was the speaker at the Memorial Day celebration here in Langdon
Hall, the college chapel. Among other things, Mr. Walton said:

" All the battles in the Civil War were not fought with lead and powder, but
the mothers, sisters and others at home who made such sacrifices for this
great cause, helped. I am out of the clay of the South and I am glad of it.
The Confederate blood ran through every loyal Confederate soldier when the
war was over. They returned to the South, to their various homes and found
them desolate and everything gone, scalawags and carpetbaggers in charge of
the government; in fact, they found everything except good. To the South,
the greatest credit goes to the Confederate soldier who helped
whole-heartedly to rebuild it. Let us this day rededicate our lives to such
an occasion as Memorial Day. The South was not conquered, but overcome by
large numbers and let us remember today those who sleep in unmarked graves
unknown to us. The speaker turned to the Confederate veterans on the
platform and said "Soon, all of you will be gone, and we love you for what
you have given us. May you rest in peace under the shade of the trees over
the river with Stonewall Jackson."

There is a William O. Walton, III, Auburn today.

June 3, 1881: Yesterday afternoon a pair of horses attached to a carriage, both the property of Mr. Geraty, ran away on Jones street and dashed into Broad. Continuing down Broad street, they collided with a team of mules belonging to Mr. I. N. Ramsey, of Lincoln county, running the pole of the carriage into the side of one of the mules,
and inflecting a wound from which the mule will probably lie. Mr. Geraty promptly
paid Mr. Ramsey the value of the injured mule.

Robert Randolph Ramsey, 84, well known Augustan, died at 10:10 o'clock last night at the residence, 824 Fifteenth Street, after an illness of two days. Funeral services will be conducted at the Salem Baptist Church, Lincoln County, GA the time to be announced later. Interment will be in the Salem church cemetery.

He is survived by the following nieces: Misses Louise and Grace Hardin and Mrs. Thomas J. Hamilton of Augusta; Mrs. N.K. Talbert and Mrs. P.R. Strother of Atlanta; and the following nephews: Thomas N. Hardin of Augusta; A.S. Hardin and C.B. Hardin of Atlanta; and Dr. E.R. Hardin of Lumberton, NC, and a number of great nieces and nephews.

Mr. Ramsey was born in Lincoln County, GA and he had been a resident of Augusta for the past 25 years. He spent the greater part of his life farming in Jenkins and Columbia counties, but for the past 25 years had been a broker with Ramsey & Company, with offices in Augusta and Asheville, NC. His company was engaged in handling vegetables, watermelons, cantaloupes, apples and citrus fruits.

Mr. Ramsey was never married, but he devoted his time and devotion to his nieces and nephews to whom he was greatly attached. He was a man of sterling qualities and his honest and integrity were two of his outstanding traits. He had a large circle of friends not only in Augusta and Richmond counties but in surrounding counties where he hade him home and visited during his lifetime who were shocked and grieved at learning of his death."

She has been in bad health for some time, but had been critically ill only ten days. The deceased was 58years of age, and her entire life was one of self sacrifice for the devotion of those she loved. She was a woman of lovable disposition, and in her death earth surely has lost one of the purest of souls.

Miss Ramsey was originally of Lincoln County, but for many years had made her home in this city with her sister, Mrs. Edward Dunnaway of Augusta. She is also survived by another sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Hardin, Jr. and two brothers, Messrs. W.W. Ramsey and R.R.
