Walton, Margaretta, 1829-1904.
Margaretta Walton (1829-1904), eminent Quaker minister of Ercildoun, Chester Co., Pa., left an extensive series of journals (1846-1902) describing her spiritual growth, travels in the ministry, and family life. She was the daughter of Joseph Shoemaker and Abigail (Mann) Walton and a birthright member of Fallowfield Monthly Meeting. In 1854, Margaretta married Jesse Pusey Walton (1825-1859), a distant cousin. As well as serving as a visiting minister, she served as clerk of the monthly, quarterly, and yearly meeting. In the last two decades of her life, she lived with her brother George and later with his son, Joseph Solomon Walton, who became headmaster at the George School in 1901.
