Father and mother unknown. Need help determining who his parents are. His son’s (Mason) death certificate reported by his daughter, Mary walker reed, lists Mason’s father as Francis Walker, born in Lansingburgh, Rennsalear County, New York. Mason’s mother is listed as Olive Sheppy born in Maryland. This information differs from other records. The internet incorrectly lists deacon Joel walker as Francis’ father and Rhoda Taft Walker as his mother. However my dna testing reveals that it is 100% positive that they are NOT related.
