Trying to find parents of Joseph Palmer who was living in Jefferson County during the 1815 to mid 1830's time period. He was born in Feb 17, 1785 in NY. Died 1860 in Williams County OH. Married to Sally Pease born August 5, 1785 in NY. Joseph's son Orah biography said that his parents were Joseph Palmer and Sally Pease. Orah said he was of Quaker parentage and that his father and grandfather fought in the War of 1812. He also said his grandfather was in the Rev. War- his ancestors having lived in Canada, came to America to escape serving in Tory Army, and fought for their adopted country. I have checked Census, land records, Quaker Records, and hired a researcher in Jefferson County. I am at a dead end with Joseph's parentage. In Williams County OH in 1840, he is living in close proximity with the family of Cyrenus Palmer. I suspect the two lines are related but cannot find the connection. While in Jefferson County, he is living next to a Palmer from the same line as Cyrenus Palmer. I have no living Palmer male in my line to check DNA. I keep hoping a new Palmer researcher will come along and we will connect our family lines! Kathy
