Note for: George W. Walton, 9 MAY 1817 - 10 OCT 1904

Individual Note: [Kelly History.FTW]
George Walton was another of the intrepid Missourians who found the waters of the Lavaca and the Navidad to his liking. Born near St. Louis in 1818 or thereabouts, he met Louisa M. Zumwalt, daughter of Captain Adam Zumwalt, on the Lavaca and married her in 1843 [G. Walton was born 9 May 1817, married 30 Mar 1843 in GonzalesCo, and died 10 Oct 1904. He is buried in a little cemetery on Big Saline Creek in KimbleCo, TX--WLM]. Prior thereto, however, he, like all the young bucks of that era, itched to get into action and prove his mettle. In the early part of March, 1842, he joined the Jackson County company of Texas Volunteers under the command of Captain Lafayette Ward and participated in the attack on the Mexican forces at San Antonio. He, in this stint of service, served from March 6 to June 6, 1842. By September, he had worked his way up the Lavaca to the Zumwalt Settlement and when the Mexicans captured San Antonio for the second time in the year, he was one of the band of forty-three organized under Captain Adam Zumwalt which joined the other Texan forces, engaged and defeated the Mexican army east of San Antonio. Again on November 11, 1842, he is listed on the muster roll of Captain Isaac Mitchell's company, First Regiment of the Southwestern Army---a group of volunteers who answered the call of President Sam Houston for active duty and saw service on the Somervell Expedition to Laredo. Walton was one of the hardy Lavaca men, along with Isaac Zumwalt, Wilson Clark, J. H. Livergood, and Henry Bridger, who refused to turn back and made the march on Mier. When the Texan army surrendered, December 25th, Walton escaped from the camp opposite Mier and made his way back to the Lavaca. Following his marriage, Walton purchased a tract of land on the Lavaca from his father-in-law [Capt. Zumwalt] and was content to remain at home. There he prospered as a stock raiser and farmer, and had no worries or problems until the Civil War upset his apple cart. From On the Headwaters of the Lavaca and the Navidad by Judge Paul C. Boethel.
Louisa W. Zumwalt (7 Sep 1824 MO-1906) and George W. Walton had children, George D., Andrew B., Luther, John and William. In addition to stockraiser and farmer, Walton was a freighter and during the Civil War participated in supply lines that kept the fragile economy of the Lavaca River area alive. According to author Boethel
"at that time better than forty-four years of age, he took his two wagons, and ten yoke of oxens and left the Lavaca. Except for stays at home during the winter months, he was on the road for the next three years, aided by his young son and a Negro slave, named Dick. As the Yankee blockade of the Southern ports tightened the noose about the Confederacy, a lifeline was improvised through Texas. Brownsville, across from Matamoras, Mexico, developed as the primary terminal of all the freight routes from the east. There it was possible to reach a foreign port, evade the blockade, and thus get the cotton to Europe. Thousands of freight wagons hauled the cotton from all points in Texas to the Mexican border, and there swapped it for merchandise, powder and the like. The upper Navidad was close to the railroad terminal at Alleyton in Colorado County. Water and grass were abundant all along the river, particularly at Scott's Crossing, where at one time in 1864, twenty-five to thirty large wagons were encamped waiting for the arrival of cotton on the rail line open to the east. Sweet Home, on the upper Lavaca, also was blessed with abundant grass and water, developed as the favorite winter camp for the freighters."
Walton encountered and surmounted numerous difficulties in encounters with unscrupulous traders and the military forces both during the war and reconstruction under the chaotic conditions of the period. Walton was mustered into service as private in Captain T. W. Barnett's company, Barnes' Regiment of the Provisional Army of the Confederate States.
The family was listed in the 1850 census of LavacaCo: WALTON: G.W. 32 m MO; Louisa M. 25 f MO; George D. 3 m TX; Andrew B. 2/12 m TX; HAMM: Harriet 12 f. LA. (Photo courtesy of LaHonda Morgan and Shirley Reynolds)
