I'm trying to find my missing link. I'm pretty sure I am a descendent somehow of Joseph Primmer (Primer) born 1740 Birmingham, Warwick, England; died 1803 in Nassau, Rennselaer, New York, but I can't seem to find the connecting ancestor/s. The farthest back I have is my great-great grandfather, William Primmer born 1795 in Rennselaer Co. New York. Either he or his family then at some point in or before 1820 moved to Herkimer Co. New York, as this is the first instance of him I find in the census. I am trying to find which branch of Joseph's children he came from. I thought possibly Jacob, born 20 Feb 1771, because the dates fit, but I have no further information than that on Jacob. Apparently Jacob is either cousin of William Primmer (son of Joseph, not my William) and his parents were a Hannes Primmer and a Mary Pauwel, or, he is a brother of William and therefore also a son of Joseph. I can find no further information other than that. It seems all the descendants of Joseph ended up in Wisconsin or Iowa. Someone, somewhere had to have made a detour and went to Herkimer County. These are my folk. If anyone has any information on any of these people, I would appreciate it.
