This blog has been created for the sole purpose of finding out my ancestor Sarah Walton's family. It's a place to sort through my info and have access to it as I am researching away from home.

Records say Waltons are from Scotland

In the Records of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia, Volume 15 it states:

James and Prudence (Doyle) Willcox had issue:

i Ann, b. about 1754; m. Capt. John Cassin, of Philadelphia.
ii John, b. about 1756; buried 10, 1, 1818; m. Sarah Walton, of Scotland. He was a hatter, and lived and died in Middletown, Del. Co., Pa.
iii Thomas... m. Hannah Worrall, then Catherine King.
iv  Mary... m. Peter Scravendyke, of Philadelphia.
v Elizabeth, m. Capt Henry Bicker, then William McMurray, and then Thomas Hoggard.

This is what is moving me away from the Byberry Waltons who came from England and instead to other Waltons from Scotland. The book was published in 1904, and doesn't indicate from which records they pulled the information.

THE OTHER OPTION I AM LOOKING AT NOW IS THAT SCOTLAND IS A COMMUNITY IN PA:
