The subject for Week 22 of the 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks Challenge is my 8x great grandfather
Samuel Walton, for whom online information is somewhat scarce.
I'm afraid Josiah Proctor Walton gives short shrift to those members of the Walton family
who aren't in his direct line. Here's the short entry he wrote for Samuel :
2 Samuel Walton, son of Rev. William Walton1, born June 5th, 1639; married, 1674, Sarah Maverick, of Marblehead; removed to Mauldin, later to Lynnfield.
CHILDREN.
1. Samuel.
2. John3, born Jan. 31,1685; died Jan. 31, 1774, age 89.
3. Elizabeth.

Walton Family Records, 1598-1898: With Its Intermarriages, the Oakes and Eatons, 1644-1898 and the Proctor Family, 1634-1898 (Google eBook) Josiah Proctor Walton, Muscatine, Iowa, 1888
"Mauldin" would be the town of Malden in Middlesex County.
Now, I've found that five children of Samuel and Sarah named John, Martha, Mary,
Samuel and William were baptized together on 26Oct 1684 in Marblehead, Ma. Elizabeth
may have been born later, and the other children not named by Josiah Proctor Walton
probably died in childhood. Other than being mentioned in the settlement of his father's
estate, I haven't found too much else about Samuel's life. He was a member of the Marblehead
Board of Selectmen with his brother Nathaniel Walton and his relative by marriage Moses
Maverick.
Samuel Walton died on 22Mar 1718 in Reading, Ma., four years after Sarah (Maverick) Walton
passed on 10Jun 1714. I am descended from their son, John Walton.
