[This Mary Peachey does not appear to have been a daughter of Samuel Peachey, of Mildenhall, Suffolk, who emigrated to Virginia in I659, and settled in what was afterwards Richmond county. Her will reads as if she was a Londoner who had not been very long in the Colony. For the family of Samuel Peachey see filliam and Mary Quarterly, III, 111-115; V, 277.
The old Walker family Bible is still preserved. One entry is "September ye 24, 1709, I went to St. Clemond's Church. Thomas Walker "
This has been taken to be the date of his marriage. The births of his daughter Mary Peachey Walker, January 30, 1710 (old style); son John, April 29, 1711I, and son Thomas, January 25, I715, are recorded. The last named was the well known Dr. Thomas Walker, of " Castle Hill," Albemarle county, the early explorer of Kentucky, &c. For the Walker family see this Magazine, IV, 357-359.]
