The following information can be found in Kentucky: A History of The State, 1887, by Perrin-Battle-Kniffin, 1032-1033.

"ATTERSON LEWIS WALDEN was born September 26, 1803, in Caroline County, Va; removed with his parents in 1805 to Lincoln County, Ky., in 1808 to Garrard County, and in 1833 to Mercer County, locating on Cane Run pike, two and one-half miles east of Harrisburg, where he has since resided. His father, John Walden, a native of Virginia, enlisted at the age of eighteen years in the Continental Army, and remained until the close of the war. He was a farmer and slave-holder, and died aged eighty-five years. He was the son of Lewis Walden, and married Elizabeth Pitts, of Virginia (died in 1854, aged seventy-six years), and from their union sprang Sophia (Douglas), Atterson L., Willis, Melinda (Simpson), Permelia, Payton, John, Elizabeth (Samson) and Angelina (Adams).
Atterson Lewis Walden was first married in 1825, to Miss Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas McGinnis, of Mercer County (born in 1802, died in 1877), and to them were born Elizabeth (Lander), Mary (Thompkins), Frances (Prather), Angeline (Garnett) and Theresa I.
In 1859 he was married to Mrs. Maria S. Meglone, daughter of William W. and Frances (Sebree) Sharp, of Lexington (born May 15, 1820). Montgomery and Maria S. Meglone's children are Whitney and Mary (Hutchinson).
A. L. Walden has been president of the Mercer County Agricultural Association for twenty years. He is a farmer, having 220 acres of productive land, but lost forty-two slaves as a result of the late war. Thomas McGinnis, from the fort at Harrodsburg, pre-empted and settled this place. There is now living, but on the decline, on this farm, a seedling apple tree of his planting, fully one hundred years old, nearly twelve feet in circumference, which has never failed to bear an annual crop since it came into bearing. In politics Mr. Walden is Democrat."

ASHLEY ITEMS

E. G. McGinnis, born in Bourbon Co., KY, Oct. 22, 1822, died in Ashley, MO, April 18, 1899. At about eight years of age he came with his parents to Missouri and settled in Lincoln County near Auburn, afterwards removing to Montgomery County where the greater part of his life was spent. Of the first marriage [Martha Stewart] there was no issue. On November 1, 1849, he was married to Miss Appalonia Berger to whom were born 7 children, six of whom, Mrs. Monie Branstetter, William G. McGinnis, Mrs. Ellen Hood, Thomas B. McGinnis, Mrs. Kate Nunn and Mrs. Lura Kerr, survive.

In 1879 Mr. McGinnis moved to Ashley to send his children to school, and to the time of his death has remained a honored and respected citizen.

For the last ten years of his life he has been a frequent suffer from acute forms of kidney troubles, but being of a strong constitution, always rallied and was soon out again. After several weeks of intermittent illness, he was taken down on Feb. 24, with what proved to be cancer of the stomach and calmly he awaited the end; hoping each day that death would come to relieve him of his suffering.

In early life he united with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and ever since has lived a consistent Christian life. For him death had no terrors, and life no hope of further joys. He was ready to go at the Master's bidding, and on Tuesday morning, surrounded by friends and children the end came peacefully.

Respected by all who knew him, he had lived in our midst nearly twenty years, a valuable citizen, a constant friend and a faithful father and husband. For politics he was a sturdy Democract, working for the principles in which he believed. The remains accompanied by friends and relative were taken to Brush Creek Church in Montgomery county, where they were laid to rest in the family burying ground [Berger Cemetery, Montgomery Co., MO].
