Boley Walters and Robert Walters -- 

Boley Walters and Robert Walters are brothers. Both were born in Franklin County, Georgia. Robert Walters appears to have moved into Indian Territory in Mississippi shortly after 1820. The area in which he lived became Yazoo Counnty; and, later, it became Attala County. I do not believe Robert moved, but that the counties just changed names for the area in which he lived.  

On the 1825 tax list, you show "Robt. Watters". I believe this person to be the above Robert Walters. Boley has by this time left Yazoo County and does not appear on this tax list. Robert Walters and his family remained in Mississippi until 1835, when they moved to East Texas, north of Tyler on the Sabine River. This area was then known as Nacogdoches County, Texas, but became a part of Smith County, Texas, in 1846. 

I find that many places have identified my family name as Watters, Waters, etc. However, all the accompanying data has related to my relatives, Robert Walters, et al. 

Robert Walters is my great grandfather and he is buried in the Redland Cemetery in Nacogdoches County, Texas. Born 1799 in Franklin County, Georgia; died 1865 in Nacogdoches County, Texas. Lived from about 1820-1835 in Yazoo/Attala County, Mississippi.
