Profiles in question -
John Henry Walker

Margaret Jane Walker

Earlier today I found them with a massive gedcom upload of multiple children of the same name, different locations and not quite right. I have merged what I could and I am trying to find any source data that I can find. The following issues are a real problem:

1. These children do not seem to fit geographically -

Lucinda Walker

Abner Abner A. Walker

Minerva A Walker

Lydia Walker

Martha Walker

The above indicate really late birth years for the mother Margaret Jane Corbin Walker and the Walkers were in Spartanburg and Union Counties, SC most of their lives from what I can find. I am contacting the Union County Historical Society and the SC School for the Deaf and Blind to see if they have any information on the Walker family. Other online platforms are in about as bad a mess or worse than this was. I have requested some data changes and hopefully we can get this straight.

Yep, there are no words to describe it. Frankly, I think the import had two families attached to the tree.

If you note - it is Fannie, Lucinda, Minerva, Abner - that I mention above - all NC mostly Orange County. Nowhere near Spartanburg or Union.

Note that the above Family Search tree has multiple children with the same name strung along from 1770-1893. This is physically impossible for Margaret Corbin Walker to have delivered all those children from that time span. Children listed and many are wrong:

I think the gedcom was done from this tree or another Ancestry tree that was just as bad. SFG

I think the above tree is only missing Abner and several of the William Walkers.
