[edit]Q: True or false: This person is George Bush's maternal grandfather. 66.245.30.216 22:05, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)
A: True.
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).
Early American Ancestors
[edit]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)
Parents
[edit]I think that it would be useful to have Walker's parents listed as well. Jon 00:50, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Picture
[edit]Could someone please upload this picture to Wikimedia Commons and add it to the infobox? It says, "All photos are Copyright © George Bush Presidential Library unless otherwise noted.", so I am not sure that it is possible. Perhaps so under a fair use agreement?Zigzig20s (talk) 16:44, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
Dorothy's name
[edit]Why is Dorothy's name presented using her mother's maiden name? The Wikipedia page it links to does not provide evidence that she ever used her mother's maiden name. The link gets to the right person, but presented name is confusing. The spelling conflicts with other mentions in Wikipedia. I'd suggest that the name for Dorothy be shortened to just that. Is there any insight gained by using a questionable spelling of her mother's maiden name? Iowajason (talk) 02:25, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
