Dawson Armstrong Walker (c. 1820 – February 5, 1881)[1][2] was a justice of the Supreme Court of Georgia from 1866 to 1868.
[1] In 1866, he was elected by the state senate to a seat on the state supreme court, defeating incumbent Justice Richard F.
[3] In 1872, he was the Republican nominee for Governor of Georgia, but was defeated by James Milton Smith.
[2] An 1874 testimonial written in favor of Walker by Jonathan W. H. Underwood identified Walker as being 54, formerly a judge of the superior and supreme courts; the author attested, "I have known D. A. Walker thirty years as an upright, able, and painstaking lawyer".
[4] He was noted as being "regarded as one of the best lawyers in Georgia... often consulted by the bar upon vexed and intricate questions".
