The Waltons

Here is the Walton family line back from Rhoda to two generations in England. I have some skepticism about the details on Robert & the first William.

Our immigrant was William Walton (1605-1668) the third fellow down on this list. We know quite a bit about him including something about his academic career at Cambridge University and is early postings in England as a preacher. William was the first preacher in Marblehead, Massachusetts leaving some tracks there as he bought and sold land and pursued his profession.

The later Waltons headed to New Hampshire and to Maine before extended Walton, Hutchinson and Jordan families headed west together eventually landing in southern Indiana in Jefferson County and some in Jennings County.
