Monroe, Elizabeth Brand, 1947-

Fielding Walker was born a free Black in Fauquier County, VA around 1835, a son of Samuel (ca. 1790-ca. 1880) and Nancy (ca. 1807-ca. 1870) Walker. He married Sarah Ann Lee Washington (ca. 1845-?), a daughter of Fanny Lee (n.d.) in Oct 1874; it was a second marriage for both. Sarah was a former slave of John H. Lee of Fauquier County. In the 1880 Federal Census, Fielding's wife is listed as Margaret, also known as Maggie (1843-1925); it is unclear whether she was his third wife.

Available sources indicate Fielding headed a blended family, including three children James (ca. 1867-?), Hulda (ca. 1868-?), and Julia (ca. 1877-?), as well as Margaret's children from a previous relationship: Agnes Washington (1871-?), F. Washington (1874-?), and May Washington (1876-?). By 1910, Fielding and Margaret had adopted Ada (ca.1894-?). Hulda married Marshall Jackson (1861-?) in Loudoun County, VA in 1892. Julia married Shedrick Shorts (ca. 1862-?) in Loudoun County in 1892.
