Thanks for responding. Who were the parents of your Dorothy Walt. Was Walt her married name or maiden name?
Did they live in Genessee Co, Flint area Michigan?

Re: DOROTHY WALT, GENESSEE CO, FLINT MICHIGAN

Patriciawalt — 2008-08-17 03:14:26Z

Yes, my grandmother was a Dorothy Walt. her Daughter is as well. I believe they are not the same as your Dorothy though

Re: Walts of Memphis, Tenn.

Patriciawalt — 2008-08-13 02:41:51Z

Linda, email me at Offenback3@aol.com so I can send you a picture of "uncle Charlie Walt" who I guess is the brother of Ruth Marie Gifford Walt I think.
I could be wrong- but I am 90% sure

Re: Walts of Memphis, Tenn.

LindaNW — 2008-08-04 03:24:57Z

Right, my mother was Mary, Frank and Charles were twins. Mary was the baby....Ruth died when she was about 6..will send you all the dates..they are all deceased now.

Re: Walts of Memphis, Tenn.

Patriciawalt — 2008-08-03 21:44:55Z

I am in Indiana right now but used to live in Portland OR and grew up in California (my father, Martin Walt IV is still there)
So your parent was either Mary, Martin, Charles or Frank?

There were twins right? I have photos of MW II, who would have been your Grandmother's brother.- is that right?

Re: Walts of Memphis, Tenn.

LindaNW — 2008-08-03 21:05:23Z

I am here, just not active at the moment, will get back on line in the fall.....I am grand daughter of Ruth Walt Risley. I have some things you will be interested in, her wedding photo, which shows she is definately a Walt. I want to make a copy of the letter your grand mother Dorothy send my mother, and send it too you. I have news paper articles and info from the cemetary in Memphis. Where do you live?

Re: Walts of Memphis, Tenn.

Patriciawalt — 2008-08-03 04:02:38Z

Linda? are you still here?
I am the daughter of Martin Walt IV. His father MW III was married to Dorothy Mantz/Walt. She did considerable research on the family in the 80s before her death. It is likely you spoke to her.

I have photos but not of many generations back.
What are you interested in? I am trying to grasp where you fit in to the long line...
do you know much about the previous generations?

Re: Walts of Memphis, Tenn.

Patriciawalt — 2008-07-16 16:47:36Z

I have a legal sized copy of Elizabeths Daughters of the Confed. certificate I would like to send you. Also many notes from my Gmother about possible David S Walt ancestor leads. None substantiated but maybe if you are experienced you can find more from this?
I have some info on MW I and his military service, likewise for David S Walt who it seems was illiterate- signature was an X and sometimes Walb-
Have lots of things like Marriage certificates, death certificates, military papers ... obit on Mary E Trask/Walt.... does this interest you?

If you want send your physical address to Offenback3@aol.com and I can send copies of what I have...my Gma did research in the 80s so with the internet and computers it will be easy to go forward I think

Re: Walts of Memphis, Tenn.

LindaNW — 2008-07-16 03:33:59Z

Hi, I am the grandaughter of Ruth Gifford Walt, my mother Mary Elizabeth Risley is the child you have living. She is deceased now. I have a letter your grandmother wrote to Mary in the 80's, she gives alot of insight to the Walt Family, especially Mary Trask.

Re: Walt family-David Samuel Walt

MaryKowatch — 2008-07-06 01:41:15Z

I have a David Walt. I think his parents were a David Walt and Sarah Steele. I have a Mary Jane Walt who was a sister to my David Walt. Mary Jane married Andrew Cooper McKay. She was 28 in the 1871 Ontario Census and living in Sault Ste. Marie, Algoma, Ontario. She also gave birth to my great grandmother in Arkona in Lambton County Ont. She died in Dafter, the Upper Penninsula of Mich but buried in Sault Ste. Marie, Canada. I'll attach a few Walt pictures that I have. I have a lot of them. Some from the Wisconsin area as well. I think Sheboygan.
If any of these look familiar to people, please let me know as I don't know all the people in them, especially the last one of the lone woman. I think she might be Mary Jane Walt/Mckay but I'm not sure. Others are labeled David Walt Jr. family. The two girls are Nellie and ? Walt, they both died young.

My relationship is with Martin and Mary....do not have anything on a Roy Walt

Re: Walts of Memphis, Tenn.

cacox66 — 2008-05-06 00:53:51Z

I suspect there is a relationship but the Roy T. Walt you describe would be about the same age as the Martin Walt, Jr. who married Elizabeth Cox. This Martin Walt's parents were Martin VanBuren Walt and Mary Eugenia Trask.

Re: Walts of Memphis, Tenn.

LindaNW — 2008-05-05 21:13:56Z

Sorry I have not been able to reply with my information...I have had lots of family illness along with my own illness....I will post information soon on Martin Walt and Mary Trask Walt.

Re: Walts of Memphis, Tenn.

srewer — 2008-05-05 15:35:58Z

My grandfather was Roy Walt of Tchula, Mississippi. I never knew him; he died before I was born and even before my mother, his daughter, married my father. But his parents apparently were named Martin and Elizabeth. Until your email, I never suspected or heard of a Cox connection. It is my understanding that Martin and Elizabeth were from Memphis, but lived at some time in Jackson, Mississippi. I am interested in more information regarding the Walt ancestry. Incidentally, my grandfather Roy named one of his sons Martin and one of his daughters Elizabeth.

Re: Walts of Memphis, Tenn.

LindaNW — 2008-01-26 22:38:13Z

I am the great grand daughter of Martin Walt Sr. and Mary Eugenia Trask. GD of Ruth Marie Gifford Walt who married Guy Weston Risley, D. of Mary Elizabeth Risley. Ruth died in 1924 when my mother was a small child and she was buried in Memphis. Would love to trade what I have with you and vice versa. She had some correspondance with Dorothy Walt, wife of Martin III in 1980. Pictures I would love to see. I have a few of Ruth. The first son born was Guy Jr. and he died, the second was named Martin, then twins Frank and Charles, and then Mary.

and all of their families.
I am the daughter of MW IV therefore Elizabeth was my Great Grandmother I believe.
My father is getting additional info for you on my behalf

Re: Walts of Memphis, Tenn.

cacox66 — 2008-01-25 23:54:35Z

My grandfather was a 1st cousin of Elizabeth Cox. That would make me a cousin 2 times removed. I have been tracing descendants of Thomas Cox and Rebecca Webb for a few years and am just getting around to filling in some of the other branches of the family which includes Martin Walt, Jr's family.

The descendants of Martin Walt Jr and Elizabeth Cox would be my cousins.

I have fairly detailed information on most of the Coxes in my family tree but would like to know if there is any information on Elizabeth Cox's father, Thomas Washington Cox and his wife, Martha Isabelle Johnson. Is there a record of his death and where is he buried? I would love to see the photo of Elizabeth.

Here is what I have on Elizabeth's family:

Thomas Washington Cox b. 1833, Nashville, Davidson, Tennessee; d. 1883, , DeSoto, Mississippi.
Thomas m. Martha Isabelle Johnson 5 Nov 1867, Fayette County, Tennessee. Martha (daughter of William Johnson and Sarah Moseley) b. 1845, Mississippi or Tennessee; d. 4 Oct 1899, Kelley, Desoto, Mississippi; bur. Forest Hill Cemetery, Memphis, Shelby, Tennessee.

Children:
2. Carl Cox b. Hernando, Desoto, Mississippi. Died of burns in childhood.
3. Adah B. Cox b. Abt Oct 1868, Hernando, Desoto, Mississippi; d. 27 Jul 1908, Memphis, Shelby, Tennessee; bur. 29 Jul 1908, Forest Hill Cemetery, Memphis, Shelby, Tennessee.
4. Beulah A. Cox b. Abt Apr 1870, Hernando, Desoto, Mississippi; d. 18 Oct 1924, Memphis, Shelby, Tennessee; bur. 19 Oct 1924, Forest Hill Cemetery, Memphis, Shelby, Tennessee.
5. Elizabeth Powell Cox b. 27 Oct 1873, Hernando, Desoto, Mississippi; d. 06 Jun 1950.
6. Clyde Cox b. Abt 1874, Hernando, Desoto, Mississippi; d. Aft 1906.
7. Guy Melvin Cox b. 17 Nov 1877, Hernando, Desoto, Mississippi; d. Aft 1942.
8. Alma Maude Cox b. Aft 1880, Hernando, Desoto, Mississippi.
9. Fred W. Cox b. Aug 1881, Hernando, Desoto, Mississippi; d. 31 Dec 1907, Memphis, Shelby, Tennessee; bur. 31 Dec 1907, Forest Hill Cemetery, Memphis, Shelby, Tennessee.

I would also be interested in information on the Walt family. Martin Walt Jr. married Elizabeth Cox 3 Jun 1891 in Memphis. Elizabeth was the daughter of Thomas W. Cox and Martha (Mollie) Johnson. She was the granddaughter of George Melvin Cox and Elizabeth Ann Bumpass.

No, I do not have any other info on either of them. I only saw the marriage certificate on the wall at the Cracker Barrel restaurant that I work at. I thought it might be of interest to somebody out there. It is my understanding that Cracker Barrel will not sell any of the antiques hanging in the store. But to know the specific date and place might help get a copy from the courthouse involved.
