Journal  of James WALKER  (Marriages)
  
       James Walker, son of Samuel Walker and Mary Noble, was born 30 June 1796, and died
  9 May 1849.  He owned and operated a tannery in Fannettsburg, Metal Township, Franklin
  County, PA.   James married Ann Skinner on 7 March 1822.   Ann, daughter of John Skinner Jr 
  and his wife Sarah Wilson, was born 13 August 1799 in Horse Valley, Franklin County,
  and died 21 May 1881 in Fannettsburg.  Both James and Ann are buried at the Lower Path
  Valley Presbyterian Cemetery just south of Fannettsburg.  
     James Walker kept a journal from 1830 to 1848, recording many events concerning his
  friends and family.  The first line of the journal is "A Memorandum of miscellaneous and
  small events which I may at some future day wish to remember." 
    
     I have extracted the marriages found in the journal, and plan to extract births and
  deaths at a later date.
