Amanuensis Monday: A Diagrammatic Chart and Sixteen Sheets

George Walton (ca 1680-1764) and his wife Elizabeth Rowe (ca 1685-1775) not only were very early settlers and very long-lived, they were documented in the most amazing ways I've ever seen. In 1955, Roy W. Black of Bolivar, Tennessee, typed 16 pages of material on the family, apparently with difficulty. in 1977, Britain W. Walton, an 11th generation descendent, saw fit to hand-print a massive "diagrammatic chart" of George and Elizabeth's descendents, based on Mr. Black's information. 

I have Mr. Britain's chart copied in pieces; I don't know what the original size was. It shows dozens of descendents, the latest born in the 1930s. Here's the heading. I've transcribed a little of it.

DAR No. 48414. His write-up mainly concerns descendants of Capt. Henry Walton (1753-1813). He does not mention Geo. Walton being of Surry Co. apparently not knowing of the 1726 land patent. His presentation and this diagrammatic chart are the only known genealogical efforts on this Walton line.

This is the upper left portion of the chart.

I have a scan of the chart that's big enough to read. If you want one, I'll be happy to send it. If anyone knows who holds the original, please let me know.

This is the first page of Mr. Black's document.

The code number SMITH WALTON/VA/2 is from my cousin Bennie Lou Hook Altom, an endless source of information and enthusiasm on our family lines. I can't find you on the Web, Bennie. Please check in, I miss you.
