Pedigree of David Walker


The origins of the Walker surname lie with the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. The name began when someone in that family worked as a fuller, whose job it was to scour and thicken raw cloth by beating it and trampling it in water. The surname is derived from the Old English word wealcere, which means fuller. In the North of England, fullers' earth is called 'walker's clay,' and a fulling-mill a 'walk-mill.' In Scotland, to walk, still means to full cloth.
