Mary, Sorry for such a delay in responding to you. I put your email in a folder to respond to and things came up and now just getting around to. Anyway, My grandaunt (my grandfathers sister) married Milton Palmer from Owls Head New York. I don't have much on him except that he died on 9 Nov 1933, had eight children (Casper, Luella, Erwin, Dolloff, Dorothy, Orin, Percy and Pauline). and they had a farm in St. Regis Falls, New York (which is right next to Owls Head). He married Eudora Young on 19 Apr 1910 in Rutland Vermont, so he would have to have been born at least in the 1890's. I know that after her husband died, "the boy's" ran the farm that I believe had been Milton's father or grandfathers and Eudora worked as a chambermaid in a hotel in Malone NY. Hope something here helps, Richard Young Mary Fose wrote: > I am searching for the John Palmer family. John came to the US from > England/Ireland.
