William Walker (Wyandot leader)
William Walker (1800–1874) was a Wyandot Indian leader and the first provisional governor of Nebraska Territory which also encompassed the present-day state of Kansas.
==Background==
Walker was born March 5, 1800 in Wayne County, Michigan.〔NEGenWeb project, “The Walker Family,'' http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ne/topic/resources/OLLibrary/Walker/wlkr011.html, accessed, 30 Aug 2011. Some sources give his birth date as 5 Mar 1799〕 He was the son of William Walker, Sr., a White man who was captured by Delaware Indians in 1777 in Russell County, Virginia. Walker, Sr. was later sold to the Wyandot and grew up among them. William, Sr. married Catherine Rankin, one-fourth Wyandot Indian.〔“Descendants of James Rankin’’; http://www.kckps.org/disthistory/pdf%20files/wy_walker_garrett.pdf, accessed 30 Aug2011.〕 The couple had 10 children.
Walker was educated in a Methodist school in Worthington, Ohio and spoke English and French, several Indian languages, and read Latin and Greek. He was described as an eloquent speaker and forceful writer on political and literary subjects. He married Hannah Barrett (d. 7 Dec 1863) on 8 April 1824. She was a student in a Christian mission school at Upper Sandusky, Ohio and probably part Indian. The couple had five children. Walker became a merchant, an interpreter, postmaster at Upper Sandusky, and served as Private Secretary to Lewis Cass the Governor of Michigan Territory. He became head chief of the Wyandot in 1835.〔Connelley, William E. ''The Provisional Government of Nebraska and the Journals of William Walker.''

She died on 28 Aug 1868.
