Gang, I recently received a note from Jerry Dean Palmertree Dyer regarding our Illinois mystery Palmertree. She has diligently tried to track down a source for this interesting article about the murder of a Mr. Douglas by a Mr. Palmertree, supposing to have taken place in Illinois in the late 1800s. She reminded me that on one census (will have to research this if Peggy doesn't remember off hand) that whoever gave the information for that census stated that the HOH Palmertree was born in Illinois. Well, that kicked a memory in my head of something my mother once told me. She said that my grandmother (Lou Annie Parkerson Palmertree) had told her that her father, Jonathan D. Parkerson, had come to Mississippi from Cairo, Illinois, working his way there as a cook on a paddle wheeler. Ok, so maybe it was a Palmertree story and not exactly a Parkerson story. I googled a map of the location of Cairo, Illinois. It is exactly at the southern tip of Illinois, where it borders Kentucky. It is in the Cape Girardeau, Missouri area. I remember searching and finding one James Palmertree in the mid-1800s in the Garrard Co. KY census. From the Palmertree Mailing list archives of 2003 (long note): ------------------------------------------------------------------- "From: Ken Jackson <[email protected]> Subject: [PTREE] New Palmertree Research Date: Wed, 08 Oct 2003 09:27:38 -0500 Gang, I've been working on this for a week or so now and wanted to post it even though I'm not quite done with it. As those of you who are interested in Palmertree family research know, I have been intrigued with my own theory that the James Palmertree who appears on the 1800 Garrard Co., KY Tax List is possibly a brother of our Jason, who is our earliest known ancestor. There is no doubt, however, that James and Jason are closely related. But at this point I have no definite proof yet. It's too bad both of them died before the 1850 census that showed place of birth. Here's what I've researched so far on our Missouri Palmertree line: Ken ---------- Descendants of James Palmertree First Generation 1. James Palmertree ,(1) son of <Unknown> Palmertree and <Unknown>, was born about 1770, died on 21 Apr 1828 in Howard County, Missouri, about age General Notes: Migration and family connection hypothesis: it is possible this James (1770 - 1828) is a brother of Jason Palmertree (1767 - 1840), ancestor of the Mississippi clan of Palmertrees. This James was listed on the Tax Rolls for Garrard County, Kentucky in 1800. My theory is that James and Jason came South together from one of the New England states in the early 1790s, splitting up - possibly in South Carolina - with Jason going on into Georgia to settle, later removing to Mississippi and James going on to Kentucky, removing to Bonne Femme township, Missouri prior to 1825. Historical Notes: "A Short History of Howard and Chariton Counties, Missouri" The first five counties of Missouri were St. Charles, St. Louis, St. Genevieve, Cape Girardeau, and New Madrid. By March 6, 1820, Missouri contained fifteen organized counties. Howard County was organized by an act of the General Assembly, January 13, 1816, and in force from March 1, 1816. It originally comprised all northwest Missouri and portions of southern Iowa. It presented an area of nearly 22,000 square miles, and was one-third as large as the present state of Missouri, and much larger than several of the New England states. By an act of legislature on February 16, 1825, Howard County was reduced to it's present limits. Howard County now embraces 463 square miles, instead of 22,000 as laid out in 1816. It is rather irregular in shape, about half of it lying in a great bend of the Missouri River, Glasgow being at the northwest and Rocheport the southeast corners, with Fayette at the center. The white man, in his migration westward, halted here and formed the earliest extensive settlements in central Missouri. It was known far and wide as the "Booneslick Country", a name originating in the fact that two of the sons of Daniel Boone, Nathan and Daniel, Jr., in 1807 evaporated "lick" water, and thus manufactured salt for domestic purposes. The circuit court, sitting as a county court, divided Howard County in 1816 into four townships, to wit: Moniteau, Bonne Femme, Chariton, and La Mine, naming them after certain streams of water. But when the first county court was organized five years later and held it's first session at Old Franklin on February 26, 1821, the county was divided into seven townships which were named Boonslick, Franklin, Richmond, Chariton, Prairie Moniteau, and Bonne Femme. Burton Township was organized in 1880 from territory taken out of Bonne Femme, Prarie, and Richmond Townships. In 1817 Franklin became the county seat of Howard County, being chosen by Benjamin Estill, David Jones, David Kincaid, William Head, and Stephen Cole, commissioners appointed for that purpose by the General Assembly of Missouri. The town of Fayette was laid out in 1823 and named for the illustrious French compatriot, Lafayette, who made his first visit to America in 1824. The county seat was at this time changed from Franklin to Fayette. The first courthouse in Fayette was built in 1824. North and South Moniteau Townships -- the townships of Howard County -- began as early as 1812. About this period Price Arnold located on section 23, township 49, range 15, having come from Mercer, Kentucky. The next year he took up another claim and was joined by William Head of Washington County, Virginia. When the War of 1812 ws declared and the western Indians became hostile, these two settlers erected a stronghold for the defense of themselves and their neighbors and called it Fort Head. A few of those who were with them were James Pipes, William Pipes, Joseph Austin, Perrin Cooley, Peter Creson, and Harry Lemons. During the years from 1817 to 1823, there came from Kentucky and Virginia and settled around Fort Head George Pipes, John Gray, Ephraim Thompson, James Hollum, Pleasant Pipes, Soloman and Zacchaus Barnett, Gerard Robinson, Waddy Curran, Thomas Tipton, and Federal Walker. Daniel Boone visited the Boone's Lick country about 1795. Among the famous men who lived in Howard County was Kit Carson. He was born in Madison County, Kentucky in 1809 and was brought by his father, Lindsey Carson, to the Boone's Lick country in * He appeared on the Tax List Replacement census in 1800 in Garrard * He appeared on the U.

Just something interesting that Jerry Dean spurred in my memory. Would like to forward her note to me to this list, if she approves. I want you to see what kind of a genealogy researcher she has turned out to be in only about one year. Started out with finding the truth about a story she remembers being told about having a step-sister named Violet. Tracked it down and solved it - looks like she's on the way to solving this mystery, too!! Oh, so good to be back in research instead of rehab - ha ha ha. Ken

What I remember with my sawdust, was after the Civil War, William P'tree & his wife had gone to Illinois & their oldest son William (Bill) was born there.   ________________________________ From: Ken Jackson <[email protected]> To: Palmertree Mailing List <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 21, 2011 7:04 PM Subject: [PTREE] My brain is working again! Gang, I recently received a note from Jerry  Dean Palmertree Dyer regarding our Illinois mystery Palmertree. She has diligently tried to track down a source for this interesting article about the murder of a Mr. Douglas by a Mr. Palmertree, supposing to have taken place in Illinois in the late 1800s. She reminded me that on one census (will have to research this if Peggy doesn't remember off hand) that whoever gave the information for that census stated that the HOH Palmertree was born in Illinois. Well, that kicked a memory in my head of something my mother once told me. She said that my grandmother (Lou Annie Parkerson Palmertree) had told her that her father, Jonathan D. Parkerson, had come to Mississippi from Cairo, Illinois, working his way there as a cook on a paddle wheeler. Ok, so maybe it was a Palmertree story and not exactly a Parkerson story. I googled a map of the location of Cairo, Illinois. It is exactly at the southern tip of Illinois, where it borders Kentucky. It is in the Cape Girardeau, Missouri area. I remember searching and finding one James Palmertree in the mid-1800s in the Garrard Co. KY census. From the Palmertree Mailing list archives of 2003 (long note): ------------------------------------------------------------------- "From: Ken Jackson <[email protected]> Subject: [PTREE] New Palmertree Research Date: Wed, 08 Oct 2003 09:27:38 -0500 Gang, I've been working on this for a week or so now and wanted to post it even though I'm not quite done with it. As those of you who are interested in Palmertree family research know, I have been intrigued with my own theory that the James Palmertree who appears on the 1800 Garrard Co., KY Tax List is possibly a brother of our Jason, who is our earliest known ancestor. There is no doubt, however, that James and Jason are closely related. But at this point I have no definite proof yet. It's too bad both of them died before the 1850 census that showed place of birth. Here's what I've researched so far on our Missouri Palmertree line: Ken ---------- Descendants of James Palmertree First Generation 1. James Palmertree ,(1) son of <Unknown> Palmertree and <Unknown>, was born about 1770, died on 21 Apr 1828 in Howard County, Missouri, about age General Notes: Migration and family connection hypothesis: it is possible this James (1770 - 1828) is a brother of Jason Palmertree (1767 - 1840), ancestor of the Mississippi clan of Palmertrees. This James was listed on the Tax Rolls for Garrard County, Kentucky in 1800. My theory is that James and Jason came South together from one of the New England states in the early 1790s, splitting up - possibly in South Carolina - with Jason going on into Georgia to settle, later removing to Mississippi and James going on to Kentucky, removing to Bonne Femme township, Missouri prior to 1825. Historical Notes: "A Short History of Howard and Chariton Counties, Missouri" The first five counties of Missouri were St. Charles, St. Louis, St. Genevieve, Cape Girardeau, and New Madrid. By March 6, 1820, Missouri contained fifteen organized counties. Howard County was organized by an act of the General Assembly, January 13, 1816, and in force from March 1, 1816. It originally comprised all northwest Missouri and portions of southern Iowa. It presented an area of nearly 22,000 square miles, and was one-third as large as the present state of Missouri, and much larger than several of the New England states. By an act of legislature on February 16, 1825, Howard County was reduced to it's present limits. Howard County now embraces 463 square miles, instead of 22,000 as laid out in 1816. It is rather irregular in shape, about half of it lying in a great bend of the Missouri River, Glasgow being at the northwest and Rocheport the southeast corners, with Fayette at the center. The white man, in his migration westward, halted here and formed the earliest extensive settlements in central Missouri. It was known far and wide as the "Booneslick Country", a name originating in the fact that two of the sons of Daniel Boone, Nathan and Daniel, Jr., in 1807 evaporated "lick" water, and thus manufactured salt for domestic purposes. The circuit court, sitting as a county court, divided Howard County in 1816 into four townships, to wit: Moniteau, Bonne Femme, Chariton, and La Mine, naming them after certain streams of water. But when the first county court was organized five years later and held it's first session at Old Franklin on February 26, 1821, the county was divided into seven townships which were named Boonslick, Franklin, Richmond, Chariton, Prairie Moniteau, and Bonne Femme. Burton Township was organized in 1880 from territory taken out of Bonne Femme, Prarie, and Richmond Townships. In 1817 Franklin became the county seat of Howard County, being chosen by Benjamin Estill, David Jones, David Kincaid, William Head, and Stephen Cole, commissioners appointed for that purpose by the General Assembly of Missouri. The town of Fayette was laid out in 1823 and named for the illustrious French compatriot, Lafayette, who made his first visit to America in 1824. The county seat was at this time changed from Franklin to Fayette. The first courthouse in Fayette was built in 1824. North and South Moniteau Townships -- the townships of Howard County -- began as early as 1812. About this period Price Arnold located on section 23, township 49, range 15, having come from Mercer, Kentucky. The next year he took up another claim and was joined by William Head of Washington County, Virginia. When the War of 1812 ws declared and the western Indians became hostile, these two settlers erected a stronghold for the defense of themselves and their neighbors and called it Fort Head. A few of those who were with them were James Pipes, William Pipes, Joseph Austin, Perrin Cooley, Peter Creson, and Harry Lemons. During the years from 1817 to 1823, there came from Kentucky and Virginia and settled around Fort Head George Pipes, John Gray, Ephraim Thompson, James Hollum, Pleasant Pipes, Soloman and Zacchaus Barnett, Gerard Robinson, Waddy Curran, Thomas Tipton, and Federal Walker. Daniel Boone visited the Boone's Lick country about 1795. Among the famous men who lived in Howard County was Kit Carson. He was born in Madison County, Kentucky in 1809 and was brought by his father, Lindsey Carson, to the Boone's Lick country in * He appeared on the Tax List Replacement census in 1800 in Garrard * He appeared on the U.

Just something interesting that Jerry Dean spurred in my memory. Would like to forward her note to me to this list, if she approves. I want you to see what kind of a genealogy researcher she has turned out to be in only about one year. Started out with finding the truth about a story she remembers being told about having a step-sister named Violet. Tracked it down and solved it - looks like she's on the way to solving this mystery, too!! Oh, so good to be back in research instead of rehab - ha ha ha.

Ken, In all my roaming around with this MYSTERY. Even though it was in THE WRONGSTATE!! You must have subconsciously known this . Glad that your inclination aboutBatesville, Ms. paid off!! Speaking of James Palmertree -- enlisted as(a private) @ Camp Douglas, Illinois1864 or1865-think this army camp was in Chicago at that time. He was in the hospital from 1864/1866 in Jefferson Barracks, Missouri. Found this in the computerized service records. I found a Hiram Palmertree in Woodland, Carroll Co(I assume) Illinois in 1855-- born I think in 1799(would this be Dr. Hiram Palmertree)? Found a Fred Palmertree from Troy, Will Co(?), Illinois. I think born in 1855 -- died in 1869. There was a Brian S. Palmertree (this must be Calvin P's son) b:1992 in Ms.- Seemsthat he was in Teas from 1993 till 2001. NO more info. on him. I found a Mary A. Palmertree B:1843 D:1860 in Cook County, Illinois Found a bunch of Douglas in Ill. I guess the MayorGovernor(not sure which of Ill.) a Douglas---woops!! Glad you solved the Mystery. That WILD GOOSE chase that I put myself was fun!! So extremely glad that you feel well enough again to research(from the looks of the Palmertrees that you listed you did a TREMENDOUS JOB. You deserve at least 10stars!! Hope that you continue to feel better(I THINK you have had enough suffering).
