5 Walters Brothers At Battle of Hastings 1066
Migrate From Devon To Southern Wales
As cited by Patty Bergman
"From the Dictionary of American Family Names, by Elsdon C.Smith, we find that Walter "rule army" was introduced by the
Normans into England at the time of the Conquest. "Walter Giffard, Lord of Longueville
was a cousin of the conqueror and feudal barony of Long Crendon, comprising 107 manors, 48 of which were in Buckinghamshire,[14] of which the caput was at Long Crendon, Buckinghamshire."
In the book, THE WALTERS FAMILY, by the American Genealogical Research Institute, we see that: The "Walters were once only a few men serving
in William the Conqueror's army. They had not yet founded their own families and were simply young knights whose swords had earned them a
fief of land on the coast of Devon, England, in a place called Biddeford. Biddeford, though not much more than a village in the twelfth century, had a
port that was the departure point of ships bound around Cornwall for the Irish Sea and trade with Wales and the Celts of Ireland."

4 Walters Brothers At Battle of Hastings 1066
Migrate From Devon To Southern Wales
4 Walters brothers Were French Nobility aided the conquest of UK 1066; received
Titles of Nobility from William The Conqueror. They survived the black death.
John Walters Waters (1420-1520) became the York Herald. Most of the population who were
not nobility... were of course tenant farmers or slaves to the local royalty and received protection in exchange for their work. Most could not
read or write and lived very simple lives
By 1400 The Waters of Wales were nobility and in control of the sea lanes to the
new world. During this time many peasants became tradesman after 7 year indentured servitude. Most of the persons moving to the United States
had to sign an indentured servitude agreeing to do 7 years work for the person pay their boat far; food; and shelter for 7 years. Persons
who failed to do the required work were punished or put in prison. Thus came the term Debators Prison

Bounty Land in Jones County MS
Herring Henry Walters 1786-1860 grant of bounty Land settled Jones County MS. An enormous
wagon train with hundreds of family members made the journey and I am told there is a Walters under every rock and tree in an huge region. It must
be assumed they prospered. The average family probably had 10-12 children and had all the slave they could ever want without the expense of
purchasing someone else to work their farm. Most likely the only persons who owned slaves were the large Planatations engage in cotton

Civil War The Great Equalizer Unlike today men of military age in south were expected
to serve in the military as a matter of course during the Civil War. Many persons believe the confederate flag is a symbolism for racism... During
the War the South petitioned The United Kingdom to come into the war on their side. The flag is patterned at the the English Blackjack-which was the
south's way of telling the north to take it and stick it where the sun don't shine

Slaves Become Tenant Farmers
Buffalo Solders Become Elite Combat Troops
After the President Abraham Lincoln Declared the Emancipation Proclamation and when the slave were finally free-many former slaves simply had no
skill sets to exist in the world of the time and instead choose to live on the plantations where they worked as tenant farmers under their
former owners.
The Buffalow Soliders on the other hand were battle hardened elite fighting forces and most by account could read; write; and trusted
to help quell problems with the native Americans throughout the west.
