JOHN BUD WALKER
John Bud Walker, born 17-Jan-1857 in that part of Perry County that is now Knott County - specifically on Mill Creek (near Troublesome Creek). He died 12-May-1940 in Tulsa, OK. He was the son of William Devers Walker and Susannah Martin. The family moved to Delta County, TX in 1873 and John Bud was pretty much on his own from age 17 when his father died. He was a cowboy, driving cattle from Texas to Kansas, from the early 1880s until the mid to late 1890s. He served as Constable of Black Dog Township (I love that part) during the early days of Oklahoma statehood... Submitted by Bob Walker
