The earliest ones I have found are the family of John and Anna (unknown) Palmer. They were living in Stokes Co, NC in 1797 when their only son David was born. They also had 9 daughters, one of which was Hannah who m. Newby Bogue in 1827, Wayne Co., IN. The others daughters were Lydia who m. Nathan Ratliff in 1813, Wilkes Co, NC, Anna who m. Jonathan Pearson in 1813, Wilkes Co. NC, Mary who m. Thomas Powell Mar 1818, Wayne Co, IN, Sarah who m. Jonathan Ratliff (brother of Nathan) 1813, Wilkes Co, NC, Martha 9Patsy) who m. John Draper in 1822, Wayne Co, IN, Rachel who m. John Maudlin in 1824, Wayne Co., IN, Leah who m. Joshua Stroud in 1823, Wayne Co.,IN, Nancy wh m. Jonathan Beeson abt 1824, Wayne Co, IN. My ancestor David m. Sarah Pearson (sister of Jonathan) in 1818, Wayne Co, IN Although I can find no evidence that John and Anna were Quakers, all of their children married Quakers. Were your Palmers Quakers and do any the the names above seem to be similar to ones used by your Palmers?....Monica Palmer Dean ([email protected])
