NOTE: George Walker refers to ten children in his family in one of his letters, probably because one sibling, Ellen, died at an early age. He was the longest living Walker sibling. His obituary stated: "He was preceded in death by six sisters and four brothers. Surviving are two nieces, Dorothy Forsyth of Hollywood, Ireland, and Rebecca Walker of Enniskillen, Ireland, and also grandnieces and nephews, all in northern Ireland."
