Linda, thanks for checking on James Walden. He came in and out of our family tree over a 9 year period (1887 to 1896) with nothing but a name and 2 children.
I'm currently working on a book about the 8 roots (family trees) at the base of the Combs Family Tree. Where do you fit into the Walden/Wallen tree?

Hi Steve,
I came up empty on info on Isaac from Carolyn D. Wallin's book
Elisha Wallen the Longhunter other than being married to
Jane 'McMurry' (1812-1869) page 151 in the book.
I'm looking for my great grandfather James Walden who married Anne
Ellis in 1887 in Chattanooga, Tn. I have taken a yDNA 37 marker
test that clearly puts me in the Long Hunter family of Elisha
Wallen b. 1708 and his 5 sons.
Most of the information and DNA cousins I have found put me in the
John Wallin b. 1750, 5th and youngest sons line. I believe that
James is the son of Isaac Wallen who is the youngest son of John
(1750) and his second wife Elizabeth Roberts. James and my great
grandmother Anne had 2 children, Maude (1890) and John (1892).
That is all I know about James!!
Anne married Leander Evans in 1896 either after James died or left
the family. The children were raised as Evans. John (1892) married
Amanda Alice Newsom in 1915 and had 3 children, Ruby, Leroy, and
John Jr (1920). John Sr (1892) died young soon after his last
child was born. His wife Alice, my grandmother, married Hartley
Combs in 1930. The 2 boys adopted the name Combs. I am the oldest
son of Leroy Combs but in the direct genetic line of Elisha
Wallen.
