I don't want to beat a dead horse.....

I'll not be a lot of assistance in your Walker lines; mine were here before the Revolution. They migrated into North Carolina with their neighbors and kin by marriage, Cones, Duggans, Harrisons, having now 250 years of confusing entanglements. Here in Georgia they met other Scots/Welsh/Irish/English lines who had done the same and combined the confusion. As genetics come from (oddly enough) both parents, and many indigenous peoples worldwide, including some clans, were matrilineal; some of us are more torn and/or prone to honor multiple lines equally. The system forced on us by the kings who stole the power of the people is not enforceable here in the US. While we do recognize that is the standard, or norm, or perhaps even mean, Scots approach, we here may opt for a different viewpoint. That is, the Norman view (Jock, please pardon pun ), while perfectly valid and beyond reproach, may not sit comfortably on all our shoulders.

Please note no disrespect intended, my lines include many of those kings (Plantagenets, House of Dunkeld, HREs, etc., that is, Norman); whether I agree with their choices is irrelevant. They stood up and people followed. Not my place or my job to judge,
just to be present acknowledging their flaws as well as their contributions, one of which is me. About that last, you'll have your
own opinion.
