Henderson Walker

WALKER, Henderson, governor of North Carolina, born in North Carolina in 1660: died near Edenton, North Carolina, 14 April, 1704. He adopted the profession of law, and became a judge of the supreme court and president; of the council, introducing many judicial reforms. From 1699 until his death he was governor of North Carolina, assuming that post by virtue of his office as president, of the council, and not under any appointment as deputy by the governor-general at Charleston. George Bancroft says of his rule, " While England was engaged in world-wide wars, here the inhabitants multiplied and spread in the enjoyment of peace arid liberty." The stone that marks Walker's grave also records that "North Carolina, during his administration, enjoyed tranquillity."
