I pulled up Family Tree Maker and found that I have you in my database. I would be glad to share any information that I have. If you want to send me your e-mail, I will forward what I have.

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your grandmother, Nora Edna Wilson. I realized after reading your article that Edna was the first cousin of my father, Lonnie Ray Walker. Daddy’s parents were Fuller Spurgeon Walker and Julia Emma Hogan Walker, and they were from Dysartsville, NC. I am doing research on Daddy’s family, and it is so exciting to me to know that you have further knowledge about our family history. Since Daddy died some time ago, I have not been able to find out as much information as I’d like to, and I’m hoping that you can fill in some of the missing pieces of our family background. I would really appreciate it if you will email back to me so that we can discuss this further.

Your third cousin,

Pat Walker Johnson

I have enjoyed very much reading the history of your grandmother as well as looking at the pictures. It will be wonderful news if you tell me she is still loving! She has had an amazing history! My father, Lonnie Ray Walker, was also born in Dysartsville, NC in the year 1917. I am doing research on him and his family. If you have any more information about Dysartsville and the residents there during the early 1900s, I would very much appreciate it if you would share them with me. Thank you so much!
