Was Ester's maiden name Morgan? Where was it mentioned? What was Olivia's and Rebecca Lee's? Also what was Zebs momma's name?

That was, of course, a nod to Doris Hamner's family, the Gianninis. But I don't think they ever said what it was. Great question! How did you come up with Morgan for Esther?

I don’t recall them ever mentioning any of the women’s maiden names except Martha Corinne. She said she was a Tyler before she married Henry.

I am thinking it may have been mentioned in the show about Grandmas birthday when Zeb gave her the thimble...

Grandpa called her “Sissy” when he told the story of the thimble. I don’t remember him saying her last name. Edited to add: According to William Atkins, Grandma’s maiden name was Morgan. He says it was mentioned in “A Walton Wedding” that he fought for the Union in the War Between the States, and apparently they said his last name was Morgan. I don’t remember that, but it has been awhile since I’ve watched A Walton Wedding. All the family info can be found here: www.williamarthuratkins.com/wfamily.html

Hasn't it been mentioned several times on this board that Olivia's maiden name was Daly? At least that's what I remember someone answered when I asked the question.
Although, I don't recall any episode where it was ever mentioned that her maiden name was Daly. I do recall that John's old girl-friend in the high school reunion episode said, "You married that girl with the Italian name". Unless Olivia was supposed to be an Italian name. And I thought that Daly was the last name of Olivia's unmarried aunt.
I sort of thought that maybe Rebecca Lee's last name was Lee rather than it being her middle name.
Wasn't Zeb's mama named Zula, and her maiden name was Tyler.

Atkins also says that Zeb’s parents were Samuel Walton and Zula Walton (maiden name unknown). Her maiden name very well could have been Tyler. It seems like Martha Corinne said something about several marriages between Waltons and Tylers. You could be right about Rebecca’s maiden name. Lee is an old Virginia surname, and I’ve heard that Lee was seldom used as a given name until the time of the Civil War when families in the south started naming their children after General Robert E. Lee. Not sure if that is true or not, but it sounds reasonable.

Well, like I said, I cannot recall ever hearing in a single episode where it is said her maiden name was Daly. What episode was it mentioned that it was her maiden name?The only episode where I heard the name at all is the one where Olivia takes off to visit her aunt when she finds out she's menopausal. At the beginning of the episode I think she is showing one of the kids, maybe Elizabeth something in the attic and they look at a picture of her aunt and she says that's my aunt Kate Grover Daly?

In Atkins, I don't see where he mentions Liv's maiden name is Daly... but, her mother's younger sister (Aunt Kate) uses the last name Daly -- do we assume she never married? I'm afraid I'm getting a little dizzy trying to track this down !
