Frederick Walker (b. approx. 1802, Baden, Germany; d. ?) m. Mary (b. 1822, Germany; d. ?) At the time, Baden was an area in southwest Germany. This area was combined with its eastern neighboring area of Wurttemburg after WW II to create the modern state of Baden-Wurttemburg. The 1900 census lists his date of immigration to the U.S. as 1845. Since Walker is not a German name, it is possible that their name had been anglicized from Voelker, or that the family had moved from England to Germany. The earliest record of Frederick Walker in the United States is the census of 1860. He is listed as a gardener, or market farmer, in District 12 of Baltimore County, with land worth $2,000 and goods worth $500. The 1872 KlemmÕs Map of Baltimore shows an F. Walker farm on what would become Franklin Avenue, south of Belair Road, close to the Koppelman farms. Their place of burial is unknown. Mary and FrederickÕs six children were:

 

     1) August Walker (b. 1830, Baden, Germany; d. ?)

 

     2) Jennie Walker (b. 1842, Baden, Germany; d. ?)

 

     3) John Frederick Walker (b. July 1843, Baden, Germany; d. ?) m. Mary (b. 1848,

     MD; d. ?) In 1880, his occupation is listed as driver, and they were living on Hoover

     Street, in the 17th Ward of the city. By 1900, they were living on the farm with their

     daughter Caroline C. Walker and her husband Henry Louis (Ludwig) Koppelman,

     and John FrederickÕs occupation was listed as farmer. John Frederick and Mary

     WalkerÕs nine children were:
