The Walker Family Cemetery is located at Morgan's Cut where Old Route 11 meets Lee Highway outside of Dublin, in Pulaski County, Virginia. The cemetery is located on the old homesteads of the brothers, George Walker (1863-1940) and Henry Walker (1864-1935). It possibly dates from 1880 when their sister, Lucy Walker Austin (1855-1890), a former slave, purchased land at or near Morgan's Cut from Joshua Bishop (1840-Unknown) and his wife, Elizabeth Jewell Bishop (1836-Unknown) for $250. It most certainly came into its own when Charlotte Black Walker (1836-1897), Lucy's mother, purchased land from Joseph Morgan (1846-1933), and his wife, Nannie Lowman Morgan (1856-1923) in 1888 at Morgan's Cut, and built a home there. Linda Killen in her book, "These People Lived in a Pleasant Valley: A History of Slaves and Freedmen in Nineteenth Century Pulaski County, Virginia"; Radford, VA: Radford University, College of Arts and Sciences, 1996, page 107, said this about the Walker Family Cemetery: "Rocks mark family cemeteries on some of these outlying properties [New River], but few legible tombstones remain".
