DANIEL WALKER, one of the early preachers in the Salem Association, was 
of Welsh extraction, his father having emigrated from Wales, and was 
born in Virginia, about the year 1767.  He came with his parents to 
Woodford county, Ky., about the year 1780.  He was merely taught to read 
and write.  His parents were pious Baptists, and he was led to the 
Savior in early life.  He began to exercise his gift, in prayer and 
exhortation, when he was about 22 years of age.  But his gifts were 
small, and he improved slowly.  In 1804, he married Elizabeth Able, and 
settled in Nelson county, where he gave his membership to Wilsons Creek 
church.  The following year, this church asked the advice of Salem 
Association, as to the propriety of ordaining him. The Association 
replied as follows: "Agreeably to a request from Wilsons Creek church, 
we advise them to call a presbytery for the ordination of Brother Daniel 
Walker."  Accordingly, he was ordained by William Taylor, Warren Cash 
and Joshua Morris, in January, 1806.  He was immediately called to the 
care of Wilson Creek church, in Hardin county, about ten years.  He was 
called to his rest, June 3, 1831.
	Mr. Walker's talents were below mediocrity; but they were well 
used, and thereby made valuable to the cause of Christ.  He was cheerful 
and companionable, and was a welcome guest wherever he went.  His piety 
was without reproach, and his zeal for the salvation of sinners, never 
flagged.  In the social circle, as well as in public discourse, he 
consecreated himself to the service of his Master.  It was not strange, 
that he was much beloved by the people for whom he labored gratuitously, 
so long.
