Individual:
Information from Ann Reid and Houston book. Also records recorded in Rockbridge County, Va.
When their children began to grow up Mr. Walkup sold his farm and settled in Lexington, where he built a brick house of considerable size. His object in this move was to enable him to give his children a good education. Some years after this he sold his property in town and settled on a portion of the Rural Valley estate which Mrs. Walkup inherited from her father after his death in 1839. Mr Walkup became helpless from paralysis some years before he died, and entirely speechless. He lived and died a true, warm-hearted Christian. He was peculiarly independent and unconcerned about what others might think of him, hence his true character was not well understood except by his intimate friends.
210 Acres purchased June 6, 1825 from Andrew Alexander-Described land was part of 1000 acres granted to Samuel Snodgrass the 17th day of August 1805, with appurtenances....it is understood and agreed between the parties that if the said Walkup should loose the said land or a part thereof by a better title than this then the said Alexander or his heirs shall refund the consideration or such portion as may be lost without interest--In testimony whereof the said Andrew Alexander hath subscribed his name & affixed his seal the day and year first before written.
