Hi Folks......brief history on Palmer Line...; WILLIAM PALMER b.ca 1718 (Orange Co., VA) d. 1797 Augusta Co., VA. William Palmer was one of the early pioneer settlers of Augusta Co., VA. He purchased on 25 Jul 1740 - 388 acres of land for $ 11 British Pounds in what was then Orange Co., VA. ...area now Augusta Co., VA. ...near the Tinkling Springs Meeting House (Old Stone Church). ( William was living on Long Meadow Lane in 1744..probably the same land purchased in 1740.) William Palmer was a member of the Tinkling Springs Meeting House (Old Stone Church), thus his religious faith was Presbyterian. William Palmer's daughter: JANE PALMER married before 1790 to JAMES SPENCE s/o: James & Jane (Bluford) Spence. (My opinion there was NO issue from this couple.) William Palmer's daughter: MARTHA PALMER...m. 20 June 1796 to Abner Tuttle. Martha (Palmer) & Abner Tuttle's daughter: JANE TUTTLE m.: 4 Sept 1818 to: WILLIAM SPENCE, s/o: William & Mary (Anderson) Spence. For your information. Jim James F.
