I am wondering if we may be related, and if you could give me your Palmer info? I know nothing about my Palmer descendants, other than the fact that my gg-grandpa, R.G. Palmer was born in MO. R.G. was a cattleman, and when riding through Dyer Co., TN, met and married my gg-grandma, Ada Bishop, in 1888. I don't have a birth date for R.G., but Ada was born in 1867. R.G. got on his horse one day, never to return, leaving Ada alone to raise Alma and Henry. Rumor was that R.G. went to California. R.G. and Ada had two children: Alma Palmer b: 1890 Henry Palmer b: 1892 Alma married DeWitt W. Leach in 1908, and had the following children: Mary Francis Leach Paul Hart Leach Moody Denton Leach - My grandfather - still with us at the age of 94. Mary Fransis Leach married a Nhoa, and had the following children: Melvin, and Mary Francis. If you have any information on my R.G., it would be most appreciated. My grandpa's health is not good, and I would love to give him more info on his grandfather, R.G. Palmer. Thanks, Tina
