Notes:

Littleberry was the son of Revolutionary Soldier Isham Walker and his wife Mary. The family moved to Georgia during the Revolution.

Littleberry married Elizabeth Margaret McClain and she may have died before 1815, and he then possibly married Elizabeth Johns. [new information provided in January 2020 by contributor Kelly parks (46977894) in a land settlement executed in COLLETON County South Carolina in 1819 shows that Elizabeth Johns, the daughter of Jacob and Patience Johns, was the wife of Littleberry Walker}. He had Fourteen Children. Littleberry and Elizabeth Joined High Bluff Primitive Baptist Church near the present town of Hoboken, Georgia on February 7, 1824 and his mother Mary joined on April 9, 1825.

Elizabeth died a member in 1835 and shortly after her death ( maybe 1839 since he was dismissed by letter from High Bluff Church on December 9, 1839), Littleberry and several of his sons moved to Columbia County, Lake City ( then known as Alligator), Florida.

On May 15, 1850 at the age of 83, Littleberry made petition to obtain a Revolutionary war pension for service of one year in 1783 as a private in Captain William West's company of Militia. This was initially denied for lack documentation, but in recent times Mrs Miriam Thomas Hickman made application with the DAR and it was accepted, establishing the line of Littleberry Walker as a Revolutionary Soldier.

Littleberry was living on a farm with his youngest son Westberry when he died in 1853. He is listed as being buried in the "Smart" cemetery which since then has been destroyed. Land records show that a Moses Smart was a neighbor with Littleberry's son David and it is possible that Littleberry was laid to rest in that family's cemetery, the location being lost over the years.

There is also some information that the Smart cemetery was located near Bell's Mill, a community that was located NW of Lake City approximately where the intersection of I-10 and I-75 is now located.
