If Walker was really a member of the Skull and Bones society, then this should be mentioned somewhere in the article. Saforrest 19:15, Oct 3, 2004 (UTC)

I concur

--- I took out the "political" sentence for a reason: It trivializes hard facts into rhetoric. Not acceptable in Wikipedia.

someone edited out this important info

that this Walker was grandfather of the two Bush US Presidents

and that this walker's ancestors were chiefs of the Narragansett and Wampanoag Am Indian tribes ... as follows :

<< His two grandsons became Presidents of the USA - George Herbert Walker Bush (41st US President named for his grandfather) and his son George Walker Bush (43rd US President also named for his grandfather).

[edit] Early American Ancestors

Through George Herbert Walker's American Indian ancestors, his two descendants, the two Bush Presidents of the USA (George Herbert Walker Bush and his son George Walker Bush), are the only two American Indian descended US Presidents in US History.

These American Indian ancestors included sachems or chiefs of the [[Narragansett {tribe)]] of Rhode Island and Wampanoag tribe of Massachussetts.

The descendancy from Mary Hanno/Hyanno is disputed; see Bush family. I don't think the connection is that notable even if proven. --Dhartung | Talk 01:50, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Parents

I think that it would be useful to have Walker's parents listed as well. Jon 00:50, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
