Thomas Jefferson WALKER (Caroline Elmira HELMER3, Robert White2, George1) was born on 21 Jul 1875 in Bayou Chicot, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana, died on 23 Jun 1931 in Bayou Chicot, Evangeline Parish, Louisiana at age 55, and was buried in Vandenburg Cemetery, Bayou Chicot, Evangeline Parish, Louisiana. Another name for Thomas was Uncle Tom.

General Notes: 1900 St. Landry Parish Census lists his birth year as 1876 and age as 23. Previous notes indicated a birth year as 1875.[Walkerxx.FTW]
1910 St. Landry Parish Census lists his age as 31 which would put his birth year as 1879. Married for 9 years to Laura L. (Wassan) and no children on this census.

Buried in the Vandenberg Cemetery in Bayou Chicot next to Van W. Walker.

Thomas J. Walker of St. Landry Parish purchased and registered a tract of land (Certificate 18,426) at the U.S. General Land Office in St. Landry Parish. The land was 165.17 acres described as "the South East quarter of section twelve in Township three South of Ronge two West of Louisiana Mefidian in Louisiana, containing one hundred and sixty-five acres and seventeen hundreths of an acre." The document is dated July 5, 1902. This puts "Uncle Tom" in St. Landry Parish in 1902.

The Weekly Gazette, Ville Platte, LA August 18, 1917

Mrs. T.J. Walker Dead

Mrs. Thos. J. Walker of St. Landry died at the Alexandria Sanitarium
on last Sunday afternoon after a lingering illness of several months,
aged about thirty five years. Before marriage she was Miss Laura Lee
Wassan and even as a girl was noted for her accomplishments and
lovable disposition. As a wife, her natural gifts were only strengthened
and developed so that in her maturer years she was referred to in still
more enduring terms as a model neighbor and wife. She is survived by her
husband who was formerly a member of the police jury from the fifth ward
and who has many friends here who sympathize with him to his great
misfortune. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon and the body
laid to rest in the old cemetery at Chicot where lie the remains of many
who helped make the spot both sacred and historic.
-------------------

The 1910 census for St. Landry Parish, Louisiana, has her age at 26 which would make her 17 when she married and her birth year as 1884.

Thomas next married Ada HAZELTON [MRIN: 31] on 11 Apr 1921 in Evangeline Parish, Louisiana. Ada was born in 1903 in Louisiana.
