  • Notes 
    • Joannah was named as Joannah Walters in her father's will. She received only 1 shilling, indicating she had already received her inheritance, probably at her marriage. Robert Walters was one of the securities for the widow Susannah Vardy when William McBee died.

      Children Peter Walters
      He married Johannah McBee in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Their known children were: William, John, Robert, Elijah, Samuel, Moses, Betty, Susannah, Mary, Hannah and Peter Walters.

      According to his Will, Robert Walters had seven sons and four daughters. One of his sons, Moses, moved to Texas but the remaining sons lived for the most part in Franklin County and the surrounding counties in northeast Georgia.

      (Although early Virginia records show him as Robert Walters, Sr., he is not referred to as "Senior" in the records of Franklin County, Georgia. Rather, his son, Robert (b. ca. 1754), appears as Robert Walters, Sr. in these records.)
