I believe my 3rd Great Grandmother was from Rhea County. Robert Walker and a cousin Susan Walker came to Barry County, MO. Robert Walker is listed in some of her legal documents, to include John O Burton’s (her husband’s) will. In his will she was named Mary Ann. I have found in a Barry County Genealogy book that her last name was Walker. I believe her parents to be Mary Thompson and Robert Walker. The Robert Walker named above is the son of the latter Robert Walker.

Also, Henry McCary is listed in Mary Ann’s legal documents as well.
I forgot to add that Absalom Thompson was also listed on John O Burton’s will.
