SAMUEL WALKER, farmer and stock-dealer, P. 0. Wilmington, is the sou of’ Azel and Hannah (Jackson) Walker, native of Frederick County, Va. He was born in Union Township, this county, and received his education in the schools of the township. He has chosen farming for his occupation, and now owns 246 acres of land, where his parents located when they came to Clinton County, in 1805, and where they lived until their death, the father in 1835 and the mother twenty years after. Our subject is the youngest of ten children. He is a man of more than ordinary literary attainments, and manager to keep himself thoroughly posted on all the topics of the day; he is a great reader, and has in his possession, a copy of every paper ever published in Wilmington, with one exception; he is, perhaps, the best-posted man in the county, especially in matters relating to the history of the press and the Agricultural Society of the county. His farm is well improved, well stocked and thoroughly equipped with modern conveniences. He is a Republican, unmarried, and a member of the Society of Friends.
