THE COLLIE FAMILY OF PITTSYLVANIA CO., VA, REVISED EDITION, UPDATED 2003, BY BETTY COX COLLIE & ROBERT KING, PH.D.; PG. 36
JOHN COLLIE (after 1766-1847) - SON OF JAMES & ANN (CORNWELL) COLLIE
John married Frances Holloway on May 4, 1791, in Pittsylvania Co., VA. Then on October 27, 1792, ofr 35 pounds they purchased from John Givens and his wife, Betty, of North Carolina, 150 acres of land, adjoining property already owned by his brothers. This land was located on "Burches" (Birch) Creek beginning at James Collie (II)'s corner, with William Collie's line as part of the description, and Charles Collie signing as a witness, along with Billey Holloway, ROBERT WALTERS, and William Bennett (Deed Book 9 for 1791-1793, pp. 379-380). On June 13, 1800, John and "Fanney" sold 72 acres of that land to Samuel Walker for 45 pounds " good and lawful money of Virginia" (Deed Book 12 for 1799-1802, pp. 147-148).

Is this the same Samuel Walker? Certainly it appears to be the one found in many deeds during this time period.

p.113 Account of the estate of William Twedwell dec'd by Wm Wilkinson, surviving Executor. Twedwell's estate was left to wife Abigail during her lifetime, then descended to son-in-law James Nelson, who had also departed this life without ever making an accounting. Those commissioned to settle were William Payne, Isaac Hill, Samuel Walker, & Thomas Brown. They examined the records on 1 Dec 1807. Recorded 18 Jan 1808.
p.122 James Nelson's Inventory taken at his house on 30 Dec 1807, by Samuel Walker, Creed Tanner, and Francis Cornwell. Rec. 15 Feb 1808.

According to Mr. Mervin Walters, Samuel & Lucy Walker moved along with Gabriel Richards from Pittsylvania Co to Roane Co TN about 1809/1810. Gabriel Richards was the father of Elizabeth Richards, first wife of Archibald Walters [the elder Archibald, son of Thomas & Lucy]. After Elizabeth Richards Walters died, her parents are said to have raised their grandson Abner Walters who was the ancestor of Mr. Mervin Walters. Abner moved with them to Roane Co - he was in his late teens or early twenties - where Abner met & married Elizabeth Rayburn, daughter of Thomas Rayburn who lived across the Clinch River from the Richards. Mervin's information has proved somewhat questionable in several areas - I did find traces of a Samuel Walker in Roane Co, but I'm not at all sure it's the same man. There was a Rev War pensioner named Samuel Walker, but he seems to be a very different man from the husband of Lucy. Were there two Samuel Walkers in Roane? Or did Mervin Walters make an assumption about this Samuel Walker that isn't correct - maybe he and Lucy did not go to Roane Co at all.

Gabriel Richards died in McMinn Co in the 1820's. I didn't find him in these early surveys of Roane, but there was a Samuel Walker:

The above footnotes were obtained by Mrs. Thornton from the following sources:
Abstract wills and noted estates mentioned in Roane County through 1840.
Typed copy of marriage bonds through 1838, plus some of later dates, using the marriage bonds only to the extent that the daughter's married name was given in the will. If used, a check was made for a corresponding marriage and when found, the year only and name of groom as given in bonds would be included.
County Court minutes used for data on formation of county and jury lists.
Various lists which have appeared in print, primarily the Rhea County tax list of 1808, and a list compiled by Capt. McELWEE 1910 giving the names of men "known to him" as Revolutionary Soldiers. Many of these men never drew pensions and each has been indicated as a "non-pensioner."

REVOLUTIONARY WAR SOLDIERS
Who Once Lived in Roane County
Official records, Act of 1818, published in 1835 as of Aug 1834, living in Roane:
CORONAMUS ACRE, JOHN BOWMAN, ROBERT CROW, VALENTINE CUNNINGHAM, SAMUEL EVANS, GEORGE FULLER, WILLIAM MEAD, JOHN PARR, URIAH RECTOR, SAMUEL WALKER, Capt. VA, WILLIAM WILLIS, VA, JOHN WALKER.

Part of the Revolutionary pension application of a Samuel Walker, of Roane Co, TN is online at Heritage Quest [these are the "abbreviated" applications and do not contain the entire file]. The information therein raises a few questions about the identity of Samuel Walker, and even if there could have been two Samuel Walkers present in early Roane. Samuel Walker, of Roane Co TN, applied on 26 Apr 1818. He was living in Botetourt Co VA [not Pittsylvania Co] in 1775 when he was appointed ensign in Arbuckle's Virginia Company. He was commissioned Captain 20 Mar 1777. In 1822, he gave his age as 72 [born 1750] and referred to a wife Susannah, age 56 and confined to bed [born 1766], a blind and disabled daughter Polly, age 30, and an orphaned grandson, Henry age 7 years. He died 5 Jul 1830.
This application creates several problems, the most important being he was not of Pittsylvania Co VA. His wife in 1822 was Susannah, not Lucy. He is said to have died in 1830 while another source has stated he was dead by 1823 - the date of death of the pension file is in a letter, an answer to an inquiry, and there is nothing in the file to confirm this date.
