Hi again, Mark.FYI, although some of the Walke family did settle in Ohio, many other relatives stayed in the south until after the War Between the States.Through the Armistead/Lee family lines, along with other Tidewater groups, individuals fought on both sides of the conflict.Prior and during the American Revolution, Walkes and related families fought on both sides of that conflict too.There was also the strong influence of religious groups like the Moravians and Quakers.Many of the female members of these related families were educated by the Moravians.So, there were wives favoring abolition married to Plantation owners.
