Can anyone tell me if John or Ruth Palmer from Monroe County were related to any Palmers that might have been in Belmont? Reason I'm asking is I have Palmers in my line. My gggrandfather was Alexander Palmer who was son of Josiah and Stacia Ann Dunfee. Josiah died before the 1840 census and Stacia showed as a widow. They had 3 sons together. William, John Franklin and of course Alexander. Stacia later married David Brooks in 1840 and they had more children together. I believe Stacia died about 1885. Stacia was the granddaughter of John Edge who was in the Revolutionary War and is said to have been in George Washington's Private Corps at one time. Alexander married Mary Ann Saffell born abt 1842 who was daughter of Tilghman Saffell and Cassandra Reed. Alexander and Mary were parents of 12 children including Canarissa (my ggrandmother), William, John Franklin, Matthias, Issac, Lorenzo, Viola, Shanon among others. Alexander died 1/1910. I've never seen anymore on Alexanders father. Only his name on Alexanders death certificate and the 1830 census. Best regards, Peggy
