Our John Palmer elusive:  Believed to have been born around 1780-1792 and is unclear as to where.  No death date, but believe to have died after 1840.  On a census, one time you will see born in GA, another will say born in SC or NC. Searched all three states including VA, posted on many boards and NOTHING. John Palmer believed to be married to Nancy unknown also believe to have been born in GA, SC, or NC.  Could possibly have been married to Hannah or Ann or mother of  John Palmer.  John is thought to be in Georgia unknown county until about 1820.  The only thing I do know is they were in Georgia until 1819 as in 1820 they turn up in WC, AL where migrated to Washington County, Alabama.  1830 WC AL census indicates ages of children could be accurate. All children were born in Georgia with exception of one.  However,  years of search has turned up nothing on this family other than the Alabama information. Children of John Palmer (not proven) Thomas Palmer born  abt 1810 GA  about  m Elisabeth (nee unknown) b abt 1810 GA and was in Mississippi county unknown until 1860 census; then WC AL Two children born in MS, two in AL No info turned up in MS Christopher Palmer  1847 MS Martin Palmer         1857 AL Elisabeth Palmer    1851 MS Angelina Palmer     1858 AL Lominia Palmer b abt 1810 GA m Joseph Conn 1854 WC AL - have not found on a census Mary Palmer  b abt 1811 GA  m Merriman Joiner 12/16/1830; Joiner m in 1840 to Rachel Jones b MS (Mary believed to be deceased at that time) Budley Palmer b abt 1813  GA   No indication of having been married Ann Margery Palmer b abt 1815 GA m Fredrick Koen b AL m 02/19/1834 and have 8 children all bn AL William Washington Palmer b 1819 GA m Mary Elizabeth Koen 01/06/1845 WC AL with 10 children Louisa C Palmer b abt 1832 AL m Solomon Cribbs 02/17/1860 in Perry County, AL No info other than marriage date This family ties in with Grimes/Palmer/Smith/Thompson/Knight/Koen/Blount/Granade/Atchison/Dumas/Goldman /Beach/Beech/Mixon/Moseley/Everett/Buckaloo/Buckalew/ Loper/Phillips/PLUS MANY MORE. Could sure use some help with the prior GA or other state info.  This family has to tie in with some Palmers' somewhere!! William Washington Palmer and Ann Margery Palmer well documented by family members, however, no documentation on others in this family that is proven. Have some info that can tie in.  Location of death cannot be determined on anyone other than William and Ann Margery from this family.  No birth/death certificates available. Any help appreciated. M Palmer

Hi, Many Confederate soldiers signed the oath and were released only to go to another state and reenlist in the Confederate Army again. Mary

Slaves and the Courts, 1740-1860 http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/sthtml/sthome.html Slaves and the Courts, 1740-1860 contains just over a hundred pamphlets and books (published between 1772 and 1889) concerning the difficult and troubling experiences of African and African-American slaves in the American colonies and the United States. The documents, most from the Law Library and the Rare Book and Special Collections Division of the Library of Congress, comprise an assortment of trials and cases, reports, arguments, accounts, examinations of cases and decisions, proceedings, journals, a letter, and other works of historical importance. Of the cases presented here, most took place in America and a few in Great Britain. Among the voices heard are those of some of the defendants and plaintiffs themselves as well as those of abolitionists, presidents, politicians, slave owners, fugitive and free territory slaves, lawyers and judges, and justices of the U.S. Supreme Court. Significant names include John Quincy Adams, Roger B. Taney, John C. Calhoun, Salmon P. Chase, Dred Scott, William H. Seward, Prudence Crandall, Theodore Parker, Jonathan Walker, Daniel Drayton, Castner Hanway, Francis Scott Key, William L. Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Denmark Vesey, and John Brown. Slaves and the Courts was made possible by a generous gift from the Citigroup Foundation.

Hi, I am seeking information on David JOHNSTON b. 1790 in Wilkinson Co., Ga (according to a copy of his will he stated he was from Wilkinson Co., Ga but had no brothers nor sisters alive at the time of his death). He moved to Plaquemines Parish and married Hannah Frederika Hoffmann in 1840. They had one son named Alexander Henry Johnston. David died in August 1852. David was also a riverboat pilot. I am at a dead end on this family.

There were thousands of black men who fought for the CSA. Unlike the Union Blacks soldiers who fought only in black units. The black Confederates fought side by side with the white's and Jew's. I just thought that by now, someone could identify this one.

I read some where that they pre dug several graves before witner set in.

This "unknown" man may not have been a soldier (but there is the slight chance that he was, as a few black soldiers were noted as fighting with and for the Confederacy); he may have been a servant to a soldier, especially an officer. They were usually treated by the Confederate surgeons just as tho they were soldiers. Perhaps the records of the Lynchburg hospital would have some information on him, if they can be found.

I don't know about North GA, but here in rural MN burials sometimes are several months after the death. The reason is that the ground is frozen like concrete to a depth of about six feet. It is a lot simpler to keep the deceased in a frozen state and bury the deceased after the ground thaws. This is just a guess-- maybe in the North GA mountains, the frozen ground is similar to the situation in MN. Gus
