Great-grandparents HENRY ALLEN WALKER (b. abt. 1856 in Canada) and LAURA LEE EPPES (b. 9/1866 in VA). They left Virginia after their marriage in Richmond, VA in August 1883 and went to Kansas (about 1885+/-). From birthdata of their children they settled in the Rice and Reno Counties area. They returned to Virginia about 1894 (their youngest daughter Edith was born in VA). Henry returned to Kansas with his daughter Jennie about 1895 leaving the rest of the family in VA. Henry supposedly died in Kansas about 1896. Their children were:

Ernest Walker b. abt. 1885 (died young)in KS
Bertha Lena Walker b. 1/1887 in KS
Henry Allen Walker, Jr. b. abt. 1889 in KS
Jennie Violinda Walker b. 1/1891 in KS
Emerson Littlebury Walker b. 9/1892 in KS
Edith Walker b. 3/1895 in VA

Laura then married WILLIAM LESLIE GRANSBURY in Kansas (1896). He sold the land Henry left and they went to Idaho. Anyone who has info on this family group in the Rice/Reno county area please contact me at Lparke8569@aol.com.
