Posted on: Obion Co. Tn Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tn/Obion/1478 Surname: Hubbs, Palmer, Evans, Withers ------------------------- I list the following information on John B. Palmer who married Elizabeth Caroline Hubbs determined from my research. I believe John B. Palmer was a brother of my great grandfather, James Lowry Palmer who married Mary Jane Evans 1842 in Obion Co., TN. James Lowry Palmer was the son of Jacob Palmer and Isabella ("Ebby") Withers, married 1813 Lincoln Co., NC. Jacob and Ebby were in Obion Co., TN by 1840, then moved to Washington Co., MO before 1850. Do you know anymore about the family of John B. Palmer and Elizabeth Caroline Hubbs? Thank you, Carolyn Luton Geittmann John B. Palmer Born ca 1822, Buncombe or Macon Co., NC Married 08 Feb. 1845 Obion Co., TN Elizabeth Caroline Hubbs Born ca 1825-27 TN or KY Daughter of Mark Hubbs and Delina Hayes. By 18 July 1860 John & family were living in Washington Co., MO, possibly moving there after the birth of their daughter, Mary A., who was born ca Feb. 1860 in TN according to the 1860 census of Washington Co., MO. But the 1870 census shows the later children as having been born in MO, so John may have moved to Washington Co., MO by 1855. He and Elizabeth C. were still living in Richwoods, Washington Co., MO on 05 June 1880, just 4 households away from their son, John. Children: 1. Sarah J. Palmer, b. ca 1846 TN 2. John E. Palmer, b. ca 1849 TN (A John Palmer m. Miss Elizabeth Renfro 17 Sept. 1872 in Washington Co., MO; a John E. Palmer of Richwoods, age 21, m. 12 June 1887 Annie Evans, age 18 with her father, Thomas Evans giving consent). 3. Robert A. Palmer, b ca 1855-57 MO; living with parents in 1880 4. Milton/Jacob Palmer, b ca 1858 MO, listed as Milton in 1860, listed as Jacob in 1880, living with his parents in 1880. Could his name have been Jacob Milton? If so, he was possibly named after whom I think was his grandfather, Jacob M. Palmer who was in Obion Co., TN in 1840. 5. Mary A. Palmer, b ca Feb. 1860 TN or MO (A Miss Mary Ann Palmer of Washington Co., MO m. Frederick Falls of Washington Co., MO 16 Mar. 1879 in Washington Co., MO) 6. Thomas J. Palmer, b. ca 1862 in MO, living with his parents in 1880 7. George Palmer, b ca 1867 in MO, still at home with parents in 1880
