  Apparently, Robert died in 1767 as that is the year his will was probated in Bedford County, Virginia.
  
  Here is a description of the land:
  
  "The land was originally granted to John Macklannan by patent 26 Jun 1755 [VA PB 31:459], and sold by him to Robert Walker on 9 Feb 1761 [Bedford DB1:328].  In both documents, the land is described as "400a on both sides
  of Callaway's Waggon Road and on the head of Reedy Creek."
