Note 3
It is not clear to me if Sarah Allen and Sarah Jane Ware are same person or if separate wives of James Walker 1726-1801
findagrave 75487472 and 75487448 has photo of the new, shared grave maker with inscription including “Sarah Ware his wife 1740-1819”
Also, I have not found a primary source that confirms Allen Walker 1758-1816 as son of James Walker 1726-1801. Best so far is a secondary “Walkers in Hickman County Tennessee, Historical Sketches” by Jill K Garrett
There is direct confict with “bio Walker,_William_b1” has Elijah L. as son of James Walker, Sr 1771 Va tp Feb 1860 Grundy Co Tenn m1 Nancy, M2 Mary Polly Cam[bell . does not include Allen
A History of Hickman County, Tennessee, Spence and Spence, Nashville, Tenn. 1900 on Google Books has Allen , James and families, but I have not found Allen as son of James. 9th district, page 275 “James Walker, the father of Dr. WL Walker, John T Walker, David N Walker and James B Walker…. married a daughter of John Cooper.” page 278 teachers at Liberty “”Dr William L., John T. and David N Walker, sons of James Walker””

Y-DNA suggests William Walker 1694 Virginia to Cumblerland County Virgnia via Warren Walker 1760-1828, Warren 1726-1785, George Washington Walker 1801 -1864. Ancestry Gid Family Tree, bjgd1 sources seem mostly secondary.
