If someone has access to One Family Tree at ancestry.com I would appreciate a lookup. I have been trying to prove out my 2nd great grandfather's parents since 1978 and still have not been able to make a connection to another Palmer family. Though a member to ancestry I do not have access to that particular phase. William Washington Palmer b 1819 GA d 1902 Washington County, Alabama. Parents thought to be John Palmer b about 1792 and married to Nancy unknown maiden although at this point she may even have been a daughter instead of wife. John had 7 children. Four of them we have found information on and they disappear. The other 3 are well documented. Children were: William, Thomas, Lominia, Louisa, Ann Marjorie, Mary and Budley; all born GA, unknown county between 1808 and 1819 though Louisa was born in Alabama abt 1832. They migrated to Washington County, Alabama and Greene County, Mississippi. In 1830, 1840 forward they are in Alabama except for Thomas. He was in MS 1840 and 1850; Alabama in 1860 and disappears no trace. There is a land deed for John Palmer in 1835 Alabama, but he is not found after 1840 census so believed he died between 1840 and 1850. Census records also indicate that William's mother father were born in Georgia and the next time you see on the census it will say North Carolina. I have searched North and South Carolina, Virginia, MA and others as possible entry points and still draw a blank. Lominia Palmer married Joseph Conn in November 1854, Alabama and disappears; no trace of them anywhere. Louisa Palmer married Solomon Cribbs Feb 1860 and also disappears, no trace. One death record says he died in Lamar, Alabama but cannot find on census. Thomas and his wife Elizabeth Maiden unknown and four children are in the 1860 Alabama census and they too disappear. Budley Palmer we never were able to find a marriage; he died between 1860 and 1880. Ann Marjorie Palmer married Frederick Koen; well documented. Mary Palmer married Merriman Joiner aka Mesan Joiner; she apparently died and he remarried in 1840 to Rachel Jones; they too documented. Nancy Palmer stays on the Washington County, Alabama census 1850, 1860, 1870 and believed to have died between 1870 and 1880 as she is not on the 1880. William's grandmother (info just found) indicates his grandmother may have been Ann Palmer but this is on a receipt found and none of us know who Ann Palmer is. Unless of course, John's fatjer was married to Ann unknown (may be Smith) and Nancy Palmer was a daughter. Part of the problem may be that information at LDS Family History is incorrect on William; not all, but some and have not been able to have them correct. Information on some of his children is also incorrect. I hope someone can help to solve this puzzle. Have everything from 1819 forward and brick wall. I am posted on boards all over the place, various names for Palmer, Conn, Koen, Kahn, Joiner, counties, states and nothing. If you are a Palmer, please take time to see if we may connect some place. Thank you and any input or suggestions appreciated. Mary
This GA-Roots list has always been known for its friendly atmosphere and also because everyone tries their best to help out. We've all been "new researchers" at one time or another, so I think we do our best to give guidance for all questions, no matter how basic. Faye Dyess gave us this atmosphere. One way to honor her is to continue in the very same manner. I know I've always felt at ease here, and have received so much help over the years! Virginia Crilley
You can still view the obit on Faye... http://www.savannahnow.com/ Side bar - click "obituaries" At the bottom of that page ---- Search: Dyess Click on this to read the obituary. Visit the Guest Book and write your message. Faye was so active , and I think we all knew her in various ways. The Internet friends over the years become very real to us even if we never meet them in person. All of us were touched by Faye and saddened by her death. To most of us it was very sudden. Her presence on this List will be felt for years to come. I believe she started GA-Roots, am I correct? Virginia

I did not know Faye, but I'm sure she must have been a wonderful woman and will be greatly missed. Jinnye
My Akins were from Wilcox and Dooly Co. Some of them lived here in Crisp Co. My ggggrandfather was William Akins, gggrandfather was Stephen Oscar Akins, ggrandfather was James Lewis Akins and my grandmother was Ida Mae Estoria Akins. Grandpa Stephen was in the Civil War. He had 15 siblings, so there's a good chance that some of yours might be kin . Jinnye
I'm not really sure about the Lewises. My grandmother was Effie Marie Lewis Farmer and her parents were David Lewis and Mary Ann (Mollie) McCullough Lewis. I've been told that David's father was Derry Lewis and that he immigrated to America from Ireland after first going to England to see Queen Victoria crowned. I haven't been able to find proof of that info. My ggrandfather, David Lewis lived in Crisp Co. The Farmers came to Crisp Co. from Lumber City (Telfair Co.) and I think that the Lewises and McCulloughs did also. There are some other Lewises here that are related to my grandfather, so he must have had some brothers who lived here also. Jinnye
I can't help but think how proud Faye would be today, of all the exchange of info on this list this week. I wish Rootsweb would place a Memorial Tribute below and replace the current message.

Maggie, You may want to spread your search to Florida. I live in Tampa, Hillsborough County, Florida, the names, Swilley, Newbern, Golden, ( I went to school with a William "Bill" Golden, graduated 1961), Gaskins and Williams. Don't know if they are your line but might help to check it out. Christine Harris Boyette MAY YOU ALWAYS WALK WITH ANGELS
Jinnye, Thanks. It would be interesting to know the connection. As I thought, and you said, there has to be an Armstrong in there somewhere!! Barbara S.
Jinnye, Were either your Akins or Lewis ancestors in Bulloch Co, GA in 1790's or early 1800's? My ancestor William Lewis left Bulloch in 1828 for Early Co, GA. -----Original Message----- From: Jinnye48@wmconnect.com <Jinnye48@wmconnect.com> Subject: Re: [GA-Roots] My Family Tree Surnames in my family tree are: Akins .....Lewis,
Barbara, I'm not sure. Uncle Henry was Daddy's older half brother. His mother was Marietta Hobbs. I would guess there must have been an Armstrong, probably in her line. John David and William were also her sons. My cousin, Frank is Williams' son. I'll email him and see if he knows. Jinnye
