James R. Walker, Missing in Action?
James R. Walker and Sarah A. Rowe lived in Kingston, Ulster Co., NY. They first lived in Saugerties, NY where their first daughter died at age 4 in 1838. She is buried in the Saugerties cemetery. James and Sarah had 4 more children, James R., George W., Carrie, and my 2nd gr-grandmother, Hellen (Ellen). According to the Walker headstone in the Kingston Wiltwyck Cemetery, James R. Walker was born in 1809 and died in 1849, only 40 years old. Census and church records do not reveal anything about him. There is mention of the death of a James Walker in the Kingston poorhouse in January 1849. James R. Walker is mentioned with Sarah in a deed having to do with an inheritance from her father, William Rowe. How did James die and where did he come from? James R. Walker is my missing ancestor.
