Biography

His parentage needs to be clarified. There is a marriage contract in which Edmond Walker and Gideon Macon put up bonds to secure the marriage of Gicdeon Walker and Rebecca Walker. If both Gideon and Edward were parents of the couple then it would make this the father of the groom Gideon, who would be Gideon III. However, it is possible the groom put up his own security.
