Some Revolutionary Heroes of Rutherford
Clarence Griffin chronicles Col. John Walker and his eight sons, detailing his prewar civic roles, military service, and later leadership in Rutherford and Lincoln counties. The piece notes his shift from Loyal officeholder to Patriot, his signing of the Tryon Resolves, and his continued public service including sheriff’s and commissioners roles, until his death in 1796.
