BiographyWalton was born in Saratoga Springs, New York in 1804, the son. of Judge Henry Walton and Mathilda (Cruger) Yates. He moved to Ithaca before 1836, where he is believed to have been working for a company republishing David Burr's 1829 Atlas of New York State. He produced both portraits and landscapes including View of Geneva (1837), Henry Clay (1844), Lithographic View of Jefferson (1847) (Jefferson is now Watkins Glen), and oil paintings of Addison (1850) and Painted Post (1851). In 1840, during his stay in Ithaca, he was involved in a dispute over a portrait of William Henry Harrison, which political opponents claimed was actually a portrait of Andrew Jackson over which Walton had written the name Harrison.{{citation needed|date=March 2014}} In 1851 he joined the California Gold Rush, arriving in San Francisco on the steamer Oregon. In California he continued producing artistic works such as the watercolor View of Grass Valley (1857),[1] and presumably other works which have been lost. In 1857 he moved to Michigan, where he died in Cassopolis 1865. His wife Jane Orr died there in 1890.
