Life

Thomas W. Walden was born in 1805 in Greene County, Georgia, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the date and names his parents as Charles Sparks Walden (1772–1833) and Sarah Walker (1783–1854).1 Inference As the earliest-born of the nine children the tree gives the couple, he was probably their eldest son, but the tree also gives his sister Nancy the year 1805 and dates for two of the children are missing.2 The tree records his marriage to Matilda Eveline Moore in Alabama in 1828, without a source, and six children: Thomas Andrew (born 1832), Aaron S. (1833–1900), Ellen Josephine (1835–1900), Adeline (born 1839), Francanna (born 1841) and Frances Matilda (1845–1912).3 A deed from Aaron Moore to Matilda Walden is recorded among the Autauga County, Alabama, deeds and mortgages of 1824 to 1829.4 By 1850 the family was in Texas, where the federal census indexes "Thomas W Waldin" in Milam County, with Matilda in his household.5 In 1860 the census entry in Burleson County, Texas, is under Matilda Walden's own name.6 Inference That she, not Thomas, is the principal name in 1860 suggests he had died or was away by then, but the page has not been examined.6 The tree gives his death in Texas, with no date, and the 1850 census is the only record attached to his profile.7
