[Hardin County] STANLEY BROWN WALKER, son of Richard Walker, a prominent citizen among the early settlers of Hardin county, was born in Virginia, Feb. 22, 1787, but was brought to Harden [sic] county, Kentucky, by his parents, when he was only a year old. Here he was brought up without ever having had the good fortune, as he expresed it, to see the inside of a school- house, till after he was 21 years of age. At an early age, he united with Otter Creek (now Rolling Fork) church, in what is now LaRue county, of which his parents were members. Here he was licensed to preach, about 1813. His gifts were meager, and he was esteemed principally for his piety and zeal. He labored, in his humble zealous way, within the bounds of Russells Creek Association, without being ordained, but not without usefullness, about ten years. In 1823, he moved to Perry county, Indiana, where he labored another ten years, among the feeble young churches of Little Pigeon Association. He then moved to Clark county, Illinois, where he closed his earthly career with a third ten years of service in his Master's Vineyard. He died Jan. 28, 1843. His son, William Walker, is a very acceptable preacher, in Coles county, Illinois. Walker = VA LaRue-KY Perry-IN Clark-IL Coles-IL http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kybiog/hardin/walker.sb.txt
