      ROBERT WALTON was born circa 1692/4, and died 5 Mar 1733/1734 in New Kent County, VA (usually designated ?Jr.?) Wilmer Kerns, whose opinion I value very much, stated this about Robert: ?Robert Walton "Jr.," was probably the son of Edward Jr. and Elizabeth Walton. He is listed as Robert Walton "Jr." in the St. Peter's Parish records of New Kent County, where he served as Clerk of the Vestry from 1723 to 1734. The designation "Jr." does not necessarily mean that his father was named Robert, but that a Robert Walton older than he was living in the same locality. It is believed that Robert "Jr." lived and died in New Kent County, where he, as eldest son, would have inherited his father's estate in 1720. William and Thomas Walton, alleged younger brothers of Robert "Jr.," resettled in an area of Goochland County that became, in 1749, Cumberland County. Two children of Robert "Jr.," George and Robert "III" Walton, settled in the same vicinity of Goochland and/or Cumberland County, as evidenced by land records and other courthouse documents. Robert "Jr." married Frances Sherwood (in approximately 1715) who was born on Jan. 17, 1697 and died on March 10, 1780.? Their children were born in New Kent County, VA. I do not know the parents of Frances Sherwood.
