Various Spellings
Farmer, Farmor, Fermer, Fermour, Formor, Firmor and variants of Fermor

There is speculation that the origin of FERMOR was from the French fermier/farmer, or from the Old English fermor - collector of land taxes. **

The term denoted in the first instance a tax-farmer, one who undertook the collection of Taxes, revenues, and imposts, paying a fixed sum for the proceeds, and secondarily someone who rented land for the purposes of farming. This name is of Anglo-Saxon descent spreading to the Celtic countries of Ireland, Scotland and Wales in early times and is found in many mediaeval manuscripts throughout the above islands. Examples of such are a Thomas Fermour, who was recorded in the 'Poll Tax' of the West Riding of Yorkshire, England, in the year 1379 and a Francis Farmer and Mary Wilson, were married in Saint Mary Aldermary, in the year 1772. In Scotland an Alan Fermour witnessed instrument signed at Saint Andrews, in the year 1391 a William Fermour was Burgess of Crail, in the year 1619. In Ireland the name is found in Ulster being introduced there from England centuries ago. **

This is the first Farmer coat of Arms in England. Photo is from "Descendants Of Thomas Farmer Who Came To America in 1616" collected and compiled by Ellery Farmer, Col. US Army Retired in 1955.
ARMS: Argent, on a fesse sable between three lions heads erased gules.
CREST: Out of a ducal coronet or a cock's head gules crested and wattled or.
MOTTO: "hora e sempre" -------- "Now and forever"
AUTHORITY: Burke's "General Armory" Bolton's "American Armory

DESCRIPTION AS SHOWN BT TINCTURES:
The shield is silver, (argent)
The fesse is black, (sable)
The lion's heads are red (gules)
In the crest, the coronet is gold, (or) and the cock is red (gules) with gold (or) crest.

The coat of arms displayed is for the Easton Neston family (actually for Sir George Fermor c1600.) It is not the first Farmer coat-of-arms. George Fermor took off the three gold anchors that were on his father's. Thomas Farmer's family coat-of-arms was a shield with three blue fleurs-de-lis on a silver chief with eight gold and red diagonal bars in the base. His father quartered it with the Barker-Burley arms on his tomb at All Saints in Marlow. Since Thomas was the oldest son, these would have been his arms, too. ...Info from Jim Farmer

Several Coats of Arms belong to different branches of the English Fermor or Farmer family, who lived in Northampton, Sussex, Surrey, Liecester, Norfolk, Oxford and other counties. Fermor was the ancient name of the Farmer family. **
One of the principal seats of the family was at Easton Neston, Northampton. Records of the family before 1500 show it to be a family of prominence and property.

Sir George Fermor or Farmer of Easton Neston, Ireland, was made a Knight in 1780, in recognition of the service of his father, a Captain in the Royal Navy, who was killed in battle. This Sir George Farmer used the same Coat of Arms as the Earl of Pomfret, except that the motto was "Fortis et Fidelis."

BIO
--- Thomas Fermor; a wool merchant who had made two prosperous marriages, died in 1485 leaving 200 marks and property in Oxfordshire to each of his three younger sons.
--- Witney was first recorded in AD 969, though there is evidence of both Iron Age and Roman settlements in the area. **
---WITNEY BOROUGH: ECONOMIC HISTORY (1500-1800), by Simon Townley **
By the early 16th century, following an apparent acceleration in local cloth manufacture from the 1460s, Witney was attracting wool merchants who far eclipsed their predecessors both in wealth and size of operation, some of them broadly comparable with the well known entrepreneurial clothiers of Suffolk, Wiltshire, and Berkshire. Thomas Fermor's widow Emmot, previously married to the local woolman Henry Wenman, evidently continued trading in wool and cloth, and died extremely wealthy in 1501: debts owed her, worth over £1,000, point to dealings both with prominent London traders and mercers, and with Italian merchants such as the Bonvisi family of Lucca, while wool stocks in her 'wool houses' at Witney and in Northleach (Glos.) were together valued at over £500. A 'store' left to Emmot by Thomas Fermor may also have been a wool store, perhaps implying a continuation of the bishop's policy of using Witney as a centre for collecting wool, while Emmot's possession of six 'unwrought' broad cloths points to trading in unfinished cloth and perhaps involvement in manufacture. Emmot's eldest son Richard Wenman (d. 1534), a Merchant of the Staple, was equally wealthy, leaving lands at Witney, Caswell, Cogges, and Lew: in 1524 he was taxed on goods worth over £860, a sum unrivalled within the county and comprising some 78 per cent of Witney's total assessment. From the later 16th century wool merchants on this scale largely disappeared from Witney, to be replaced by smaller but still wealthy clothiers and master weavers more directly involved in local manufacture. Probably the last prominent Stapler was Edward Wilmot (d. 1558), an incomer associated with the Wenmans, who was Witney's wealthiest taxpayer in 1544 when he was assessed on goods worth £60. Besides interests in Southampton and lands in Gloucestershire he had dealings with Calais Staplers such as the Johnson brothers, to whom he lent £1,000 in 1544.
---In large part the industry's continuing success was due to securing new markets. Besides the international trade represented by merchants such as the Fermors, Wenmans, and Wilmots, London connections were important throughout the 16th century, and so remained. Witney clothiers selling cloth at Blackwell Hall in London in the 1560s included members of the Collier, Bishop, Jones, Rankell, and Yate families, and several 17th- and 18th-century successors had cloth or blankets warehoused there. In the 1670s weekly carts brought raw wool from the capital and returned with Witney duffields and blankets, some of them for sale on the domestic market; by then, however, Witney manufacturers had also established markets in Africa and North America, presumably exporting primarily through London. Red- and blue-dyed blankets and duffields were traded for beaver-skins with the native Americans of Virginia and New England, who wore them as loose coats, and the establishment in 1670 of the Hudson Bay Company increased export opportunities: the Company ordered pairs of Oxfordshire (presumably Witney) blankets in 1681, although Witney manufacturers seem not to have forged strong links with the Company before the 1730s. Trade with Africa is implied in a petition by Witney clothiers in 1694 on behalf of the Royal African Company, complaining that threats to the Company's monopoly were damaging local industry

  --- Born by 1516, first son of Richard Fermor and Anne Browne. Educ. I. Temple. m. by Nov 1544, Maud, dau. of Sir Nicholas Vaux, 1st Lord Vaux of Harrowden. Suc. family 17 Nov 1551. Kntd. 2 Oct 1553. Keeper of woods within Rockingham forest, Northants. Apr 1554; j.p. Northants. by 1556-64 or later; sheriff 1557-8.
  --- In common with his Vaux kin Fermor remained a Catholic and it was only under Mary that he cut any figure in public life. He probably took his stand for her during the brief conflict in Northamptonshire over the succession, as his brother-in-law Sir John Mordaunt did in East Anglia, and so earned the knighthood which he received on the morrow of the coronation. It was, too, his Protestant cousin Sir Nicholas Throckmorton whom he replaced as senior knight of the shire in the first Parliament of the reign; not surprisingly, he neither ‘stood for the true religion’ on this occasion against the government's first measures towards restoring Catholicism nor opposed one of its bills in 1555. Brought on to the commission of the peace and granted several local offices, in the last year of the reign he was pricked sheriff: in this capacity he corresponded with the Privy Council about the surety to be taken from subsidy collectors. Under Elizabeth his religious conservatism told against him and he may have been removed from the bench after his inclusion, in the report of 1564 on the attitudes of the local justices, among ‘great letters [hinderers] of religion’.
  --- Fermor's main interest throughout his life was his estates. These were augmented in 1556 by the Northamptonshire property of his uncle William, whose Oxfordshire lands, however, passed to Fermor's younger brother Thomas. Fermor appears as an enterprising, indeed grasping, landowner. There had been trouble with neighbours over disputed property in Easton Neston before his father's death, and when the matter went to arbitration he rejected the decision that he should retain the lands in question but give others in compensation, and persuaded his mother to refuse her consent. He was unscrupulous in his attempts to evict tenants of whom he disapproved, some of them probably because they had been given leases when the property was in the King's hands. Early in Elizabeth's reign he purchased the manor of Towcester, Northamptonshire, from Laurence Eaton, and other properties there of which one was later claimed by plaintiffs on the ground of defective title. At the same time as he acquired the hundred of Wimersley he broke the entail on his Dorset and Somerset lands in order to create life tenures. When his heir George married in 1570 Fermor conveyed his lands to William, 3rd Lord Vaux of Harrowden, Sir Walter Mildmay and others in order to entail the bulk of them and to make provision for his younger children. He died on to Dec 1571 and was buried at Easton Neston. George Fermor had licence to enter on 17 Jun 1572.

    [taken from internet; Easton Neston was formerly a village which like a number of those in Northamptonshire, depopulated by the wealthy to make room for their flocks of sheep. In this case the offending lord was Sir Richard Fermor, Father in law to a more well known destroyer of villages, Sir Richard Knightley of Fawsley.
    This depopulation had taken place by the reign of Henry VIII as when the manor was surveyed in his reign, little remained of the medieval village, save the manor, the church, the mills and the fields and probably a few cottages for estate workers. The village was about 11/2 miles North east of Towcester. ] **

Elizabeth. Darcy, who was no more than 19 at the time, must have owed his return for the duchy of Lancaster borough of Knaresborough to his father, a younger son of Thomas, Lord Darcy and a royal servant who held or had held a number of duchy offices. Lord Darcy himself had once been constable and steward of Knaresborough. On 25 Jul 1557 Darcy was committed to the Fleet for brawling, and a week later, he was bound with Thomas Hussey to keep the peace. Hussey was friendly with the Fermors, a family with which the Darcys were also connected before Darcy married into it: in Jul 1532 Sir Arthur Darcy, Sir John Dudley, Richard Rich and Richard Fermor had stood surety for a loan made by the King to Sir Edward Seymour. Darcy was to inherit a large estate in Yorkshire and elsewhere from his father, but on his first marriage he settled in Huntingdonshire and disposed of much of his Yorkshire property. It is not known when he died but his name last appears on the commission of the peace during 1592/1593.

- 1. Frances Worsham md William Rowlett October 1703 b 1670-76 made his will 5 Jul 1734 and died before 5 May 1735. **
  --- The Worshams were a much more prominent family in the community than the Rowletts had been, so this marriage was an important step in raising the standing of the family.
  --- William Rowlett: Child of Peter born about 1670 if he was the older of Peter's two sons and about 1676 if he was the younger (as nearly everyone assumes); possibly apprenticed as a teenager to John Sherman; inherited, in 1702, 200 acres at the mouth of the Great Branch of Old Town Creek; married, in 1703, Frances Worsham, daughter of former county sheriff John Worsham (d. 1729) and his wife Phoebe; patented, in 1730, 300 acres on Winterpock Creek in southwestern Chesterfield and 400 acres on Beaver Pond Branch in neighboring Amelia County (then part of Prince George County);
  --- In 1724 the vestry appointed William Rowlett and Abraham Burton as counters of the tobacco crop for the precinct between Old Town Creek and Swift Creek. In 1725, William was appointed to the same task, this time with William Chambers.
  --- William listed no daughters in his will, but a reference to "all my children" suggests he may have been survived by daughters as well as sons. John Pride, Jr., and his wife Frances had a son named Rowlett Pride; it seems very likely she was a daughter of William . --- Genealogists of the Stiles family have claimed that William had a daughter Mary Rowlett or Mary Traylor Rowlett who married William Stiles. In fact, it was Mary A Rowlett, daughter of William 's brother Peter Rowlett, who probably married William Stiles.

  --- Captain William Dix, Lieutenant David Hunt and Ensign Clement McDaniel commanded a company which marched from Pittsylvania in August and numbered among its members Lewis Haley, Isham Farmer, John Neal, John Smith, Avory Mustein and William Jeffress. These men were present on that memorable day at Yorktown, October 19th, and witnessed the surrender of the British Army to General Washington. Clement, Maud Carter. History of Pittsylvania County Virginia. Lynchburg, VA: J. P. Bell Co., 1929.
  --- He was a farmer, and served in the Revolution (from Halifax Co, VA). He fought in the Battle of Germantown, and was at the siege of Yorktown Historical Southern Families, Mrs John Bennett Bod?, Volume XXIII, pp 179-183, Genealogical Publishing House, Baltimore, MD, 1980.
  -- Isham Farmer served in the Revolution from Virginia. He was born about 1751, the son of Benjamin Farmer of Lunenburg County. After service in various Virginia units during the War, he became a resident of Pittsylvania County. He was married to Elizabeth Johnson, and they were parents of a large family. His wife died in Virginia in 1841, and Isham Farmer and an unmarried daughter then came Noxubee County, Miss. to join his son Absolom Farmer who had settled in Noxubee about 1833. He deeded what personal property he had to son Absolom, with the provision that Absolom was to give him and his daughter maintenance the remainder of their lives.
  Isham Farmer died in Noxubee County probably early in 1847, for on April 5, 1847, letters of Administration were issued to Anderson W. Dabney, whose bond was also signed by Absolom Farmer. Absolom Farmer lived about five miles west of Brooksville, and there was a family cemetery on the property. This has now been lost and no trace of the marker once known to be there can now be found. In all probability Isham Farmer was buried there. A Memorial marker has been applied for by a descendant, Mrs. Bebe Fant Slater, to be placed in the Farmer lot in Brooksville cemetery.
  The estate papers on file in the Chancery Clerk's office, Noxubee County, File no. 555, show the following heirs of Isham Farmer; Absolom and Anna Farmer, Noxubee Co., Miss. Mary Echols of Marshall Co., Miss, Sarah Echols of DeSota Co., Miss. Nancy Hendricks, William Farmer, heirs of Frances Wade, heirs of Susan Hoskins, all of the state of Tennessee, heirs of Stephen Farmer of the state of Missouri, and Patsy Thompson, Johnson Farmer and the heirs of Pleasant Farmer, all of the state of Virginia.

This group info [Frederick son of William Farmer and Obedience] has been contributed to and assisted me in researching by cuzins: by Michael Farmer , Jim Farmer and E Ray Beets
--- He was a revolutionary war soldier of VA, old letters indicate he died of smallpox on the way back to , and within 50 miles of home in Halifax Co VA following the formal cessation of the Rev. War. .
--- Captain Frederick served three campaigns in the revolutionary war and is said to have been present at the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown
--- One of Williams sons named Frederick married a Mrs. Elizabeth Metcalf.. He served three campaigns in the revolutionary war, was promoted to Captain, was at the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, honorably discharged, but took smallpox, got within 50 miles of home and died, leaving a widow and four sons, Henry, William, John, Andrew, and Frederick.
This widow Farmer married John Sullens, who had 10 children, the oldest one Mary married Henry Farmer, so mamma's son married dady's girl, this was our grand father and mother. From the Metcalf cross the farmers get all their temper for so hasty was she that she got the sobrigul (sobriguet) of Betty Madcap, and most of the Farmers inherited this very fully. Grandma Sullens was a very mild reasonable woman, she was paralized for years before she died. I never saw her walk alone. (John W Farmer, 1889)
--- After Frederick died, Elilzabeth married John (?)(Nathan) SULLENS who had 10 children, and moved to Anderson Co., TN.
--- Virginia land grant and patent records show that a Frederick Farmer (no suffix) was awarded a land patent on Birch Creek in Halifax Co. in 1779. Halifax Co.
--- Frederick was appointed surveyor by the January Court 1769
--- Frederick Farmer is recorded as a tithable in the list of James Turner, Jr in 1771. His name is entered just a few names away from HENRY FARMER (i.e.HENRY FARMER) and HENRY'S sons HENRY FARMER JR (i.e. HENRY FARMER, SARAH FARMER'S father), Archibald and David.
---It's interesting to note that the Survey maps indicate that FREDERICK FARMER'S land was only three farms west of HENRY FARMER.
---Although the neighbors changed somewhat between 1779 when FRED-ERICK FARMER patented land next to Edmonds and Thomas Wilson and 1789, when the two deeds above were executed, there seems no doubt that the FREDERICK FARMER, deceased, in the Halifax County records was the FREDERICK FARMER who had patented 349 acres next to Thomas Wilson in 1779. Several of the new neighbors in 1789-Henry Firesheats and John Follis-appear in the Personal Property Tax Lists of 1787 of Halifax County near Archer and HENRY FARMER.16 In the second of the above deeds, Nathan Sullins is listed as a near neighbor of FREDERICK FARMER, deceased. As indicated below, Nathan Sullins married ELIZABETH (MET-CALF) FARMER in 1785 in nearby Pittsylvania County, Virginia, (the marriage was recorded in both Pittsylvania and Halifax County records) several years after her first husband, FREDERICK FARMER, died. It's possible that by 1789 Nathan Sullins had acquired some of the 349 acres previously patented by FREDERICK FARMER. It's also possible ELIZABETH'S sons were raised partly on FREDERICK'S and ELIZABETH'S farm, as they cannot all be accounted for in the household of Nathan Sullins and ELIZABETH in the First U.S. Census of Virginia.
--The last mention of FREDERICK FARMER of John W. Farmer's letters, prior to FREDERICK'S inventory and appraisement, is the will of Mica-jah Watkins (executor of Thomas Wilson's will above). Micajah's will was probated 17 February 1780-July 1781 and includes the following names: William Douglas, William Walton, James Smith, several Echols, several Boyds (in-laws of Archibald Farmer, son of 5 HENRY and SARAH ECHOLS FARMER), John Martin, Henry Goare and FREDERICK FARMER. The value of Micajah's estate was 6561 pounds, a very large sum at that time.
-- Proof that FREDERICK FARMER of John W. Farmer's letters served on the Virginia Continental Line during the Revolutionary War can be found in Virginia Revolutionary Publick Claims, the official record of claims arising out of the Revolutionary War.17 From surviving certif-icates in the Halifax Court Booklet on claims arising out of the Revo-lutionary War...(p.431) 1780-1781...FREDERICK FARMER, 1 gun, 1 lb-10 Cont. (and) ...(p. 448) at a court of Public Claims held for Halifax County 21 July 1785, ELIZABETH FARMER, Widow of F. FARMER, 1 gun 3 lb-10. The abbreviation Cont. in the first claim stands for Continental and was used to distinguish federal claims (i.e. those arising at the continental line) from claims against the individual states (for goods requisitioned by local militia). In this record there is an additional entry for a Frederick Farmer in Halifax County, Virginia on p. 446 for a claim dated 1780-81 for fodder, corn meal and similar supplies, apparently against the state of Virginia. It is unclear whether the latter entry was from FREDERICK FARMER who served on the Continental Line or another Frederick Farmer in Halifax County.
--The above records verify John W. Farmer's statements in his letters that FREDERICK FARMER died near the end of the war, and that his widow was ELIZABETH (METCALF) FARMER. John w. Farmer indicates FREDERICK FARMER died...within 50 miles of home...of smallpox.... As Cornwallis surrendered on Oct. 19, 1781, we might expect FREDERICK to have died in late 1781 or very early 1782. As it happens, FREDERICK'S death from smallpox most likely was not coincidental. In a recent bi-ography of Alexander Hamilton, it indicates that as Cornwallis was surrounded by George Washington's troops on land and the French navy by sea, Cornwallis grew so desperate he...infected blacks with small-pox and forced them to wander toward enemy lines in an attempt to sicken the opposing forces (see Ron Chernow, Alexander Hamilton, p. 164 c. Penguin Press, 2004).
--{In 1772 a second Frederick Farmer (often styled Frederick Farmer Sr) came to Halifax County, Virginia from Chesterfield County. It's important to clearly separate this Frederick Farmer from the FREDERICK FARMER who was married to ELIZABETH METCALF. }
---According to the book Recollections ..., Nathan SULLINS, Sr.'s, first wife was Mary MAYS. Halifax Co., VA, records show a wife Winefred. His second or perhaps third wife (m. 1785, Halifax Co., VA) was Mrs. Elizabeth FARMER. Nathan SULLINS (c.1741 - c.1805), son of Richard, settled in 1795 about 2 miles northwest of present Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
---Roots of Roane County, Tennessee, by Snyder E. ROBERTS, 1981, children of Nathan SULLINS, Sr., are listed as: **

1 William Henry FARMER b Jan 25, 1770 in Halifax Co VA d Mar 13, 1864 in Anderson Co, TN at age 94 married
Mary (Polly) SULLINS Aug 3, 1790 Halifax Co VA b Apr 12, 1769 in VA d May 3, 1838 in Anderson Co, TN at age 69 . dau of Nathan SULLINS and Winefred (Or Mary) MAYES *---*
--- He was one of the first settlers of Anderson County, TN ;he was clearing a farm in Dutch Valley at a time when there were but few white men in the county, and Indians were numerous.
---Snyder Roberts provides the following sketch of physical charact-eristics of the area: These early settlers, before and shortly after 1800......were attracted by the alluvial soil found along Poplar Creek.....The climate was temperate and rainfall plentiful. The abun-dance and variety of timber, wild fruits and nuts, and ready game were enticements. The beauty of the valley was enhanced by the view of the towering peaks of the Cumberland Mountains to the north. The early settlers searched for free-flowing, all weather springs that would serve their domestic needs, and sizeable branches with sufficient drop to power their grist mills.
---In 1801 Anderson and Roane Counties were split from Knox county, which left most members of the above Farmer families in Anderson County, Tennessee.
---Taught school in one of the four one room schools in the 4th civil district in 1849.
---William Henry and Mary (Sullens) Farmer
---Henry and Mary Farmer lived out in the Dutch Valley community of Anderson Co., Tn. Mary Sullens was a sister to Mary Ashlock's mother Sarah Sullens Ashlock
---Henry and Mary Farmer's descendants still live in this area, also, today. Henry lived in the Poplar Creek and East Fork portion of the county. Henry died in 1871.
---According to grandson John W Farmer, he(Henry) had a brother named William who went West
---Might be born abt 1777 VA and living Pike Co IL in 1860. Last one in Farmer letters.
---William Henry Farmer (William Henry always used the given name Henry. Also, in Knox and Anderson counties, he was occasionally styled Henry Farmer, Jr.) b 1769, Halifax County, Virginia. He had bond to marry Mary Sullins on 26 July, 1790 in Halifax County with Nathan Sullins, surety, and was married on 3 August 1790 by Rev. William Moore.32 Mary Sullins (b 1769 and d 1838) was the daughter of Nathan Sullins and his first wife, Miss Mays. Henry and Mary Farmer settled first in Knox/Anderson County, Tennessee on Poplar Creek before 1802 and about 1821 were in Dutch Valley in Anderson County, Tennessee.1 Henry Farmer died in 1864.
--- The couple had twelve children: Luke ; Lucy; Rebecca (Shoemaker); Elizabeth (Breeden); Asby (Johnson); Nathan; Henry; Winnie Jane (Seiber); William; Mary (Seiber); Mossie or Massie (Sharp); and Wiley.
---About 1797 William Henry), Andrew, William, JOHN and Frederick Farmer also moved from Halifax County, Virginia to Knox County, Tennessee. Most of the sons and daughters of these two families were young adults by the time they left Knox Co, and several of them married soon after the move.
--- Henry (William Henry) Farmer, the eldest son of the deceased FREDERICK FARMER and ELIZABETH METCALF, purchased 150 acres on Poplar Creek in Anderson County. His brother, William, perhaps acting as agent for his four brothers and his in-laws (including the Sullins family), was taxed in 1802 on 1000 acres north of the Clinch River opposite Bull Run Creek. During the next several years, the families of both HENRY FARMER and his sons and the families of the children of the deceased FREDERICK FARMER, were active in Anderson County and adjacent Roane County as land holders, road builders, jurors, signers of petitions and the like.
--- By 1806 Henry (i.e. William Henry) Farmer had acquired 550 acres in Anderson County, Tennessee. In the same year, he and his brothers Andrew and Frederick (the youngest child of FREDERICK and ELIZABETH METCALF FARMER) and their stepfather, Nathan Sullins, signed a peti-tion for construction of a grist mill in Roane County. By 1805 Fred-erick Farmer appears to have moved across the county line from Anderson County into the adjacent Roane County, possibly to be near his stepfather, Nathan Sullins. It is not known if Nathan Sullin's second wife, ELIZABETH (METCALF) FARMER, was still alive at that time.
--- Henry (William Henry) Farmer remained in Anderson County for the duration of his long life, but about 1821 moved north from Poplar Creek to so called Dutch Valley, near “..Walter Long Cemetery.” 28 Henry (William Henry) Farmer and his wife, Mary Sullins (a daughter of Nathan Sullins) had twelve children: Luke Williams, Lucy, Rebecca (Shoemaker), Elizabeth (Breeden), Asby (Johnson), Nathan Hoskins, Hen-ry, Winnie Jane (Seiber), William B. Tunnell, Mary (Seiber), Mossie (Sharp) and Wiley. They had numerous descendants, some of whom can still be found in Anderson County.
---Henry (William Henry) Farmer remained in Anderson County, Tennessee on Poplar Creek for some time, but by 1821 had moved north into so called Dutch Valley.One reference indicates that an outbreak of yellow fever may have precipitated this move. Henry and his wife Mary Sullins raised twelve children . Mary (Sullins) Farmer died May 3, 1839.27

  ---Yours of the 2nd first came to hand and I very thankfully answer it. I am pleased to know who (you) are and to open correspondence with you as I had not heard a word from any of you for years. Just this week William Sharp was in town, and told that Aunt Massa only had one child living and that was in Texcas (sic), but did not give me any name. I was at your fathers in the spring of 1854 on my return from Tenn. I stayed there two nights and a day. Uncle John your father and aunt Mat tried to get me to stay with them and practice in that settlement, as there was no physician in ten or twelve miles. I went to see my Mother about going there. She was then living in Cedar Co., near Eldorado springs, and was not pleased out there, wanted a spring, and agreed if I got a place with a spring on it, she would come and live with me. My first wife had died before I went to Tenn. in 1853. I sold my best horse and bought a good spring but my Mother took sick and died, and never came to live with me.
  --- I am a son of Luke Farmer, he was the oldest child, and your Mother was the youngest this is our relation. Henry Farmer was my grandfather as well as yours. You was small when I was there, so that I don't suppose you recollect me. It will be 35 years in March. I saw your father once afterwards but never saw Aunt after I left. She died in a little over a year after I was there (John Sharp and Massa Farmer lived at Orla, Laclede Co., Mo).
  --- I have two and all my brother are in Texcas (sic). One Henry Farmer in Denton Co. near Lewisville, and Luke Farmer in Montague Co., Hardy P.O. You did not give me you (sic) Co., so I cant tell how near you are to each other. You did not say how much family you had-I have just one child living, she is with me, my housekeeper as I lost my second wife last dec. So my daughter and I are alone, except a grandson and a young girl for company when I am away. I am still practicing but doing just as little as I can, will ease out soon I think. I have been at it for 37 years in this county-that ought to let me out I think, still at 65 I am blessed with good health and able to day and night when necessary, but I willing to quit and trying to do so but I find it rather hard to do. We are having a warm winter for Mo-the fore part was wet but it fine and clear now, and just pleasent (sic), we cant ark. Our wheat crops look very well, and everything is favorable now for early farming. I suppose I have said enough for the present. But it is a pleasent theme to write to a representative of my Aunt one of the associates of my youth, and one whom I always loved as an aunt and who always kind-these things wake up the slumbering memories of the long past, the land of my boyhood, and where sleeps my Fathers and Mothers. but I will not weary you longer at present-I hope you will let me hear from you as opportunity may serve, at present I bid you adiew (sic). Your very much obliged cousin.-- John W. Farmer"
  
  --- Letter #2 “Boliver, Mo. March 24, 1889 Mrs. C.C. O'Quin
  --- Dear Cousin,
  --- Yours came to hans in due time and I embrace the first favorable opportunity to answer it. In regard to the Farmer family, they are English descent from here to England as early as the twelfth century.
  --- The Sascon (Saxon) or German name is Bawer, pronounced Bower, and means a general worker, and adds to it the kind of work, as house bawer for house builder, field bawer for a field hand, etc.
  --- After a time, this was anglicised and spelled Farmer, and I first find that name in the time fo Cronwell (sic), and even earlier in the War of Roses, eary in the 5th century (sic), and a Dr. Farmer was one of Shakespeare's associates early in the 16th century, and the name has been associated in English History from that period to the present, and in the reformation they were devoted Catholics taking part with the Opoe (Pope?) against Henry the VIII. Early in the 17 century, three brothers came to the colonies of North America, John, William, and Henry, and settled in Virginia. William raised a large family and lived in Henry and Patrick Counties. John went to North Carolina and raised a large family. A portion of his sons went to Kentucky. In 1851 as I passed through Laurel and Rockbridge Counties, I found several of them. The other brother married but never had any family but got to be very rich.
  --- One of Williams sons named Frederick married a Mrs. Elizabeth Metcalf. He served three campaigns in the revolutionary war, was promoted to Captain, was at the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, honorably discharged, but took smallpox, got within 50 miles of home and died, leaving a widow and four sons, Henry, William, John, Andrew, and Frederick, the later (a) post humous child. This widow Farmer married John Sullens, who had 10 children, the oldest one Mary married Henry Farmer, so mamma's son married dady's girl, this was our grand father and mother. From the Metcalf cross the farmers get all their temper for so hasty was she that she got the sobrigul (sobriguet) of Betty Madcap, and most of the Farmers inherited this very fully. Grandma Sullens was a very mild reasonable woman, she was paralized for years before she died. I never saw her walk alone.
  --- Their (i.e. Mary Sullens and Henry Farmer) children were Luke, my father, Lucy Belecca, I never saw, she married a John Shuermake and moved to Alabama. Asby married Ben Johnson, Elizabeth married James Breden and moved to Green County, Ill in 1832, lived and died there. Winona married Robert Sieber, loved and died in Tenn. Mary married Nemrod Sieber, a brother of Robert, and moved to Pike County, Ill. Massa's history you know. Nathan H. Farmer married Jane Hoskins, loved and died in Anderson County, Tenn. about 1874. Wm. Marlet married Catherine Funnel and moved to Green County, Ill. in 1832 and died there in 1855. Luke, my father, married Jane Williams and had 6 children: William, Mary, John, Henry, Elizabeth and Luke.
  --- William died about 1827, 10 years old. Mary in 1844, my father was killed by an (sic) falling tree in 1833, leaving a widow and five children. I, the oldest boy. Sister Mary lingered for several years and died. Sister Elizabeth married Cyrus A. Martin and died here at our house in June 1876, he in May 1877, leaving one son. He is in Monmouth Kansas. Brother Henry married Syntha Jackson of Anderson Co., Tenn. and is living in Denton co. Texas. His P.O. Lewisville. Luke married in this county, Tenn. Mitchell and lives in Montague Co., Texas, P.O. Hardy. Your correspondent married Nancy Ann Pruit in Roane Co. Tenn in Oct 1851 and moved to Mo. that fall. She died July 1853 and in January 1859, he married Mrs. Sarah S. Campbell of this county. She died 23rd of Dec. 1888, leaving me and one child a daughter, and she is in feeble health to brave the world alone. We have a good old (illigible) with us and doing the best we can.
  --- Grandfathers (i.e. Henry Farmer's) brothers ... william and John came west but Andrew and Frederick liked (lived) and died Sequatchy Valley, Marion Co., Tenn. A grandson of Williams lives here now. John A. Farmer and a Prof. Wilson was here in the S. W. B. College a time. He was a grand son of John Farmer, he now near Lexington, Mo. This is the history of the Farmer Family as I got from our grandfather when I was there in 1853-54, except what I have seen myself.
  --- Your Ma was a little older than my sister Mary, and was born in 1816 so that if living now would be in (about) 73, was near 40 when she died. This, I believe, is all I have to say on this subject at present.
  --- We are having a very warm wet winter here and mud in excess, so that our farming interests is very backward. Not much done nor any weather favorable for doing. William Sharp lives in Barton Co,. MO. Lamar is the county seat, but I don't know that is his neareat P.O. to him. I suppose this will do for the present, or rather for a summers reading, and you must leave out the Metcalf element to get through this quietly. Yours with dearest respect. J.W. Farmer "

--- Loved to watch wrestling on TV and cheat at checkers.
--- She was a long time member of The Independent Order of Odd Fellows. :One time Noble Grand, and charter member Harriet Rebekah Lodge Oddfellows.
[ In 17th century England, it was odd to find people organized for the purpose of giving aid to those in need and of pursuing projects for the benefit of all mankind. Those who belonged to such an organization were called "Odd Fellows ". Odd Fellows are also known as "The Three Link Fraternity " which stands for Friendship, Love and Truth.__The Independent Order of Odd Fellows was founded on the North American Continent in Baltimore, Maryland, on April 26, 1819 when Thomas Wildey and four members of the Order from England instituted Washington Lodge No. 1. This lodge received its charter from Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows in England._Odd Fellowship became the 1st national fraternity to include both men and women when it adopted the beautiful Rebekah Degree on September 20, 1851. This degree is based on the teachings found in the Holy Bible, and was written by the Honorable Schuyler Colfax who was Vice President of the United States during the period 1868-1873. Odd Fellows and Rebekahs were also the first fraternal organization to establish homes for our senior members and for orphaned children.]

  --- The cause of his death was Cross Mountain Coal Mine Explosion.
  --- Lake City Banner, December 1, 1977.
  -It was a cold, overcast Saturday morning the Dec. 9 in 1911 as the dawn greeted the families in the hollows that lace the ridges along the narrow valley called Briceville. Many of the families in one of those hollows, Slatestone, prepared for another hard day in the Cross Mountain coal mine much as they had done for years.
  -The men and some of their sons had risen early. Dressing in the dark, they had put on clothes still stiff from the sweat and dirt from the work of the day before. They had eaten a breakfast of honey and bread, or, "if times were good," they had eaten some meat and gravy.
  -Gathering their tools, the miners walked the short distance to the mine. On that fateful day, of the 150 regular miners who normally worked at the mines, only 89 reported for work because of a shortage of coal cars.
  -As the men entered the mine entrance, called by some the "Bank," it was 6:30 a.m.
  -As they walked farther and farther into the deep tunnels that lead into the very heart of the mountain, small crews of men separated off to go to their work areas for the day's labor. The sounds of the hoofs of the nearly 50 mules could be heard up and down the long corridors.
  -At 7:20 somewhere deep in one of the rooms or in some passageway, it happened. Perhaps it was a spark from a squibb used to ignite a powder charge. Or maybe it was the flame from a miner's oil lamp.
  -In a moment frozen in time, a luckless miner realized that the most feared of all things in a mine had come, an explosion. In one split instant, the place where he stood was filled with blinding light and then a thunderous explosion. A pocket of methane gas or coal dust had ignited, and before it would run its course, 85 lives would be taken.
  -Racing down the headway toward the surface, the concussion twisted and killed as it went. At the mine entrance a clean up crew was blown back by the blast.
  -Within minutes the entire community knew of the explosion. Rescue teams began to form almost at once.
  -Deep in the mine, most of the men weren't killed by the blast, but now faced an even more deadly threat, the dreaded after damp, or carbon monoxide.
  -Many of them began to barricade themselves in the rooms. One such group was a father and son, William and Milton Henderson from Clinton. With them were Irwin Smith, Arthur Scott and Dore Irish.
  -Mr. Henderson later told what they did.
  -We barricaded up the entrance to the mine room. With our coats we fought back the after damp the came through the cracks in the brattice, and then stuck our coats and other articles of wearing apparel in the holes in the brattice. We had lights, our dinner, and each of us had from half to three quarters of a gallon of water and coffee in our dinner pails."
  - Other miners were trying to do the same thing.
  -A large 10-foot exhaust fan was installed to clear the mine of the smoke and gas. When the rescue teams thought it safe to go in, they took with them a canary which could detect the deadly after damp.
  -The team had gone into the mine only a short distance when the little bird fell dead. Thinking they had reached a current of poisonous gas, there was a wild dash to the outside.
  -But then the men realized that it was the smoke from their own lamps that had killed the bird. Getting another bird and safety lamps, the men started back in.
  - In Henderson's group, late Saturday night Scott and Irish decided to take a chance and try for the outside. They left the safety of the room and started for the entrance. It was the last the other three saw of them until Monday when they met on the outside.
  -Henderson reported that on Sunday the remaining three attempted to leave but were forced back to the room. "We remained there until discovered on Monday at 8:15 at night."
  -Those killed in the Cross Mountain mine were: James A. White-- Joe Farmer-- Frank Leinart-- Eunis Robbins-- E.F. Duncan-- Dan Martin-- A.L. Haynes-- T.A.

(2) Elizabeth ___
--- In 1817, Marion Co. was created where Andrew Farmer and his family lived, and in 1858, Sequatchie Co. was formed and Andrew's home was near the Sequatchie/Marion Co. line. He is listed in Marion Co. in 1850 and Sequatchie Co. in 1860.
--- When Andrew and Mary arrived in what is now Marion Co., TN the country was still a wilderness and Mary, from her doorway, shot and killed many wolves and one panther that was chasing her children. Indians were still on the land where Andrew and Mary settled.
--- It is said that the Indians burned the Farmer's home on three different occasions. According to another descendant, the last time they burned the house, the Indians told Andrew they wouldn't bother them anymore if one of his grandsons married an Indian girl.
--- A son of Andrew's daughter, Nancy Elegy (name is probably Elledge) is said to have married the Indian girl, and left with the Indians when they moved out of the area.
--- Mrs. Elegy kept a little Indian girl, whose mother wanted her to teach the child to speak like she did.
--- 1860 census, with wife, Elizabeth.
--- Andrew and Mary Pankey Farmer were supposedly buried in an apple orchard on their property.
---Andrew Farmer b September 25, 1771, Halifax County, Virginia; married probably ca 1800 in Anderson County, Tennessee to Mary Pankey or Elizabeth Pankey.33 Although many believe these two were sisters, it's not definitely proven they were not the same individual. As indictated in Chapter 7, the loss of early records of Marion County, Tennessee in a courthouse fire, makes it uncertain which of these women was the mother of Andrew's nine children.
---In 1802 Mary's father Stephen Pankey and Andrew Farmer were...taxpayers in Anderson County, Tennessee. In 1805 Andrew and Mary Farmer moved down beautiful Sequatchie Valley and settled near Chattanooga, Tenn., on Indian Lands, from which in 1817 Marion Co, Tenn., was created. They reared their children and spent the remainder of their lives in Marion Co. A descendant now living there wrote that when they arrived the country was 'still a wilderness' that 'the Indians burned their home three times,' and that Mary from her doorway shot and killed many wolves and one panther that was chasing her children. Each year their descendants hold a large family reunion in Marion Co.
---Some time ago, the present writer received the following from Carol Franklin: Andrew Farmer is mentioned in correspondence by Return J. Meigs, Indian Agent, to the Indian Office at Washington. Meigs wrote of Andrew Farmer, "a hireling for Richard Benge," living on Indian lands "by permit." There was a William Farmer listed as a "cropper," also on permit for Richard Benge.
--- In 1858, Sequatchie County was formed and Andrew's home was near the Sequatchie and Marion County line.
---He is listed in the 1850 Marion County, Tennessee, census and in 1860...is in Sequatchie County, Tennessee.
---We do not know when Mary Pankey Farmer died, but in 1860 Andrew is listed as 85 with a wife...Elizabeth....Andrew and Mary were buried in an apple orchard on their farm. He died on August 16, 1861.
---Andrew Farmer was closely associated in Marion County, Tennessee with Bird Farmer, who may have been a son of Bird Farmer of Cumberland County, Virginia where the Burwell and Byrd families held sway.
---In Marion County, Tennessee, Andrew Farmer and Bird Farmer lived adjacent to the heirs of Landon Carter. Landon Carter was a descendant of King Carter and a Burwell (given name unknown). Andrew Farmer died on 16 August, 1867 in Marion County, Tennessee.
---Andrew Farmer, was a juror in the March session of the Anderson County Court in 1808. However, in April 22, 1809 he was named, along with William Farmer, on a list of white settlers living on Indian land and working by permit in Sequatchie Valley: Wm Farmer cropped for Richard Benge; Andrew Farmer, hireling for Richard Benge. By February 10, 1813 William Farmer and a Mr. Farmer were named in a list of intruders on Cherokee lands in Sequatchie Valley. Andrew Farmer settled permanently in Sequatchie Valley near present day Dunlap, in Marion County, Tennessee north of Chattanooga. Andrew's name appears in some of the earliest surviving deeds of Marion County. He resided near his Pankey in-laws and one Bird Farmer.
---Andrew, apparently left Anderson County sometime after the March Session, 1808, of the Anderson County Court, where he served as a juror.29 By 22 April, 1809 he was named, along with William Farmer, on a list of white settlers living on Indian land and working by permit in Sequatchie Valley: Wm Farmer cropped for Richard Benge; Andrew Farmer, hireling for Richard Benge.
---Andrew and William disappear from the court records of Anderson County well before April, 1809 is consistent with the idea that they are the Andrew and William Farmer in Sequatchie Valley in 1809. However, their exact location in the Valley at that time is uncertain.
---George Edward Pankey writes: In 1805 Andrew and Mary Farmer moved down beautiful Sequatchie Valley and Settled near Chattanooga, Tenn., on Indian Lands, from which in 1817 Marion Co., Tenn., was created.... But this account doesn't document their exact date of arrival in that part of Marion County near present day Dunlap, Tennessee where Andrew resided for the rest of his long life. It most likely was not in 1805, as Andrew remained in the Court records of Anderson County, Tennessee until about March 1808.
---One clue as to their later location in the Sequatchie valley, may be the fact that Richard Benge, a native American for whom William and Andrew Farmer worked as early as 1809, probably was the same man as the "Dick Benge," a half blood Cherokee, who was murdered in 1813 by three people who had moved onto Indian lands near Crow Creek, apparently near present day Dunlap (Personal communication from Amy Adams, July 2001). On Feb. 10, 1813 those same three people were listed along with Wm. Farmer and Mr. Farmer and others under Names of Intruders on Cherokee Lands in Sequatchie Valley and vicinity. Thus, in 1809 when William and Andrew Farmer worked for Richard Benge, they may already have been in the area of Dunlap Tennessee where Andrew would live for the rest of his life (Personal communication, July 2001 by Amy Adams).
---One account of Andrew Farmer's children indicates they were all born in Marion County Tennessee:
---At least one account of Andrew Farmer and Mary's family indicates that a Ruth Barker (b. 6 Sept., 1805), who was married to William M. Barker in Marion County, Tennessee), was a child of Andrew Farmer, Ruth is now known to be a child of Andrew's brother, JOHN FARMER, and his wife SARAH FARMER.
--- Andrew Farmer was apparently joined before 1830 in Marion County, Tennessee by his brother, Frederick Farmer. Frederick is listed there in the federal censuses of 1830 and 1840, but not in the 1850 census, when he would have been about 68 years old and was probably deceased.
- 1 Nancy Farmer, birth date uncertain, but she could have been born as early as 1798, most likely in Knox County, Tennessee. married James Elledge, probably in Marion County.
  --- James and Nancy (Farmer) Elledge are believed to have died in Georgia.
  --- If, as thought, Nancy is the daughter of Andrew Farmer and was born in 1798, she was probably not born in Sequatchie Valley because Andrew Farmer served as a juror in Anderson County Tennessee as late as the March Session, 1808 eight children, the first being Rebecca Elizabeth b June 1, 1819, in Marion County.

3 Rev John Farmer Esq. b Jan 26, 1775 in Halifax Co VA, d Sep 17, 1851 in Cass Co, MO md Sarah (Sally) Farmer (b. Jul 20, 1771, d. Jan 28, 1852) on Nov 12, 1799 in Knox Co, TN. dau of Heny Farmer and Sarah Echols . They are buried in Union Baptist Cemetery, Pleasant Hill, Cass County, Missouri.
---Comprehensive coverage of this line is given in Chapter 7 and subsequent chapters of the present book.
--- Rev. John Farmer was an advocate of a missionary role for Baptists in Tennessee -a role which necessarily recognized the inherent humanity of the Cherokee Indians and blacks that were sometimes mem-bers of that tribe and those that were slaves. Indeed his views on the Indians, and those of his followers, had ultimately split the Baptists in Tennessee and led him to embrace the move to Missouri.
---The entire family moved to Cass County, Missouri except Ruth and her sister Rebecca Farmer (who married Robert Kell). These two sisters were already married and I guess their husbands wanted to stay in Tennessee.
---Ruth Farmer born 1805 who married William Barker
---John had a grandson named John A Farmer

Tombstone inscription of JOHN FARMER, who died Sept. 17, 1851, and is buried at Union Baptist Cemetery, Pleasant Hill MO
--- Ruth Barker is named as one of the children of JOHN and SARAH FARMER in JOHN'S estate papers filed in Cass County, Missouri and dated February 3, 1854. There are also letters from JOHN and SARAH FARMER'S son, Rev. Henry Farmer in Cass County, Missouri to Rev. Henry's sisters, Ruth Barker and Rebecca Kell, in Marion County Tennessee that prove they are the children of Andrew's brother, JOHN FARMER
--- --- JOHN FARMER, the remaining son of FREDERICK FARMER, deceased, moved from Anderson County to Knox County, Tennessee about 1807. JOHN most likely lived in that part of Knox county that lies directly opposite Anderson County, where Beaver Dam Creek enters the Clinch River. That is the area where JOHN FARMER, along with his father-in-law, HENRY FARMER, husband of SARAH ECHOLS and his brother-in-law, Elder (later Rev.) John Farmer and Micah Sellers (a Baptist minister) owned iron works and land on both sides of Beaver Dam Creek. In 1818, JOHN FARMER, HENRY FARMER, Rev. John Farmer and Micah Sellers sold the iron works, mills and 406 of the 640 acres of land on Beaver Dam Creek to one Thomas Reeves. Also in 1818, according to a published biography of JOHN FARMER'S son, William, JOHN and SARAH FARMER moved to Marion County, Tennessee. This biography, The History of Sonoma County, was published during William's lifetime and provides key documentation not only of JOHN and SARAH FARMER'S move to Marion County, Tennessee, but also their subsequent move to Rhea County, Tennessee in 1825. They were joined in Rhea County by William Farmer (to be distinguished from his brother William Henry who always used the name Henry) in 1826. William Farmer later moved to Sonoma County, California. The purported movements of JOHN and SARAH'S family in The History of Sonoma County are supported by existing Tennessee records for Marion, Rhea and Meigs counties in Tennessee.
- When JOHN FARMER left Knox County, Tennessee, he sold his land there, but almost no records as early as 1818 survive to show pre-cisely when he arrived in Marion County, Tennessee. All the early records including the 1820 Federal Census were lost when a fire in 1922 destroyed the Marion County courthouse. However, WPA transcripts of early Marion County records (Tennessee Records of Marion County Deed Book Volume A of A & B 1819-1830, Historical Records Project March 24, 1938) mention a JOHN FARMER whose land adjoined that of one William Mitchell on the southeast side of the Sequatchie River in Marion County. That record is dated Dec. 9, 1821. WPA transcripts also mention a William Farmer who was a witness to an assignment of Power of Attorney for a Peter Brown in Marion County on Feb. 19, 1824.
- The biography of JOHN and SARAH'S son, William, indicates William married Miss Nancy Hudson in Marion County on March 13, 1823. Their first two children must have been born in Marion County-Mary on Jan. 5, 1824 and Rebecca on Nov. 21, 1825. Deeds of Rhea County confirm that William Farmer purchased land there in Hiawassee District in 1826. Also married in Marion County, Tennessee were JOHN and SARAH'S daughters, Ruth and Rebecca Farmer. Ruth (b Sept. 6, 1805) married William Barker, a resident of Marion County on Feb. 5, 1824 according to records on pages believed to be remnants of the family bible that belonged to William and Ruth (Farmer) Barker (see Genealogical Documentation, below). The same bible pages give the names and birth dates of the thirteen children of William and Ruth, as well as many marriage and death dates. All thirteen children were born in Marion County, where Ruth and William Barker lived in proximity to JOHN'S brother, Andrew Farmer. The names of William and Ruth (Farmer) Barker's children are: John Gilliam, Henry, Howell, Moses Easterly, Nancy A., Louis, William Houston, Sarah Frances, James Anderson, Burrel, Abner, Zachary, and Rebecca Leona Jane.
- Rebecca Farmer, born January 26, 1802 according to her grave marker in Than's Chapel Cemetery, married Robert Kell, a resident of Marion County, about 1824 based on the ages of their children. Their children's names were: Nancy, Isabella, William E., John, Henry, Nimrod, Andrew, Ruth A. and Samuel. Like her sister Ruth Farmer, Rebecca and her family remained permanently in Marion County, Tenn-essee. The families of Ruth (Farmer) Barker and Rebecca (Farmer) Kell are closely associated in Marion County records, including Tax Lists and deeds. Several letters between William E. Kell and John G. Barker are extant.
- JOHN and SARAH (FARMER) FARMER left Marion County, Tennessee and moved to Rhea County, Tennessee about 1824. In February, 1825, JOHN FARMER and his son William purchased 194 acres in Hiawassee District, Rhea County, Tennessee. In Rhea County, JOHN and SARAH FARMER lived near SARAH'S brother, Rev. John Farmer, who had moved there from Roane County, Tennessee by 1822. The biography of JOHN and SARAH FARMER'S son, William, confirms that William moved to Rhea County from Marion County by 1826. This is substantiated in Tax Lists and Deeds of the Hiawassee District of Rhea County. William eventually moved to Miss-ouri but maintained contact with his Farmer relatives and in-laws in Marion County. This is apparent from a letter William Farmer wrote on June 28, 1840 from Pleasant Hill, Van Buren County, Missouri to Elija Hudson, Esq in Marion County, in which he mentions Hudson, Kell, and Barker relatives and Bird Farmer, a next door neighbor of William's uncle, Andrew Farmer. The text of this letter is in Genealogical Documentation, below.
- When JOHN and SARAH FARMER left Marion County, Tennessee, all memory of JOHN'S his stay there and his relationship to Andrew Farmer seems to have disappeared. Because of the proximity of the family of JOHN and SARAH'S daughter, Ruth Farmer Barker, to Andrew Farmer in Marion County and later Sequatchie County, some researchers concluded that Ruth was Andrew Farmer's daughter. However, she was proven to be the daughter of JOHN FARMER by the discovery of JOHN FARMER'S estate records of 1855 in Cass County, Missouri which listed JOHN'S heirs as...William Farmer, Federick (sic) Farmer, Rebecca Kell, Ruth Barker, Moses Farmer, Henry Farmer, John Farmer, Andrew Farmer, Sarah Williams and Elizabeth Wilson, Children of said deceased. Moreover, two letters are extant which were sent in 1860 and 1867 to Ruth Barker and Rebecca Kell in Marion County, Tennessee by their brother, Henry Farmer, of Pleasant Hill, Cass County, Missouri concerning the settlement of the estate of their father, JOHN FARMER. The originals of these letters are in the possession of Amy Adams, a contemporary descendant of Ruth (Farmer) Barker. The letters, reproduced below, clearly establish that Ruth Barker and Rebecca Kell of Marion County, Tennessee were the sisters of Henry, Moses, Andrew and William Farmer who lived in Cass County, Missouri at the time their father, JOHN FARMER, died. They also document that their brother, William Farmer, had moved to California, where his biography indicates he lived in Sonoma County.
- As indicated above, Andrew Farmer, the brother of JOHN FARMER, is named in several records in Marion County, Tennessee. However, the loss of most early Marion County records in a courthouse fire leaves many questions concerning him unanswered. There is information on Andrew Farmer's family in the work of George Edward Pankey. Unfortunately, few original sources are cited there. It indicates there that Andrew Farmer and Mary Pankey had ten children, (which included, erroneously, Ruth, b September 6, 1805, who married William Barker and remained permanently in Marion County, Tennessee). As indicated above, Ruth is now known to be a child of JOHN and SARAH FARMER. Mary Pankey is thought to have been born ~1782 in Halifax County, Virginia, a daughter of Stephen Pankey and Mary Smith, and died after 1822. How-ever, there are some difficulties with this history. Some circum-stantial evidence suggests Andrew married first in 1797 in Knox County, Tennessee to Mary Pankey's sister, Elizabeth, (born ? ~1775). Some believe that Andrew's eldest child, Nancy, was by an Elizabeth Pankey (apparently Mary's sister) who was born in 1798 in Indian Territory. Both George Pankey and some descendants of Nancy Farmer agree that Nancy married an Elledge (Pankey indicates Elegy) about 1818 in Marion County Tennessee and some indicate they had eight children, beginning with Rebecca Elizabeth b June 1, 1819 in Marion County, Tennessee. If this Nancy is the same individual referred to by George Panky and was Andrew Farmer's eldest child, a birth date for her of ~1797 is credible. It remains unclear to the present writer, however, whether Nan-cy's mother was Elizabeth Pankey or Mary Pankey, or whether Elizabeth and Mary Pankey might have been the same individual.
- The next known surviving child of Andrew Farmer is John Farmer, born May 15, 1807. From tombstone records he appears to have died on July 5, 1892. He is thought to have married Sarah Lasater about 1835 in Bledsoe County Tennessee. If as family lore suggests, Andrew Farmer married Mary Pankey about 1800 in Anderson County, there is a long unexplained gap before birth of John Farmer on May 15, 1807
- 1 William, (R.P.or G.) Farmer b Sept 1, 1800/01, Anderson County, Tennessee d 22 May, 1883 in Woodbridge, San Joaquin County, California married Nancy Hudson March 13, 1823 in Marion County, Tennessee. b August 15, 1804 in Bledsoe County, Tennessee d March 27, 1867 in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California where she was buried. and is buried in Santa Rosa Rural Cemetery, Sonoma County.
  --- This worthy old settler was born in Anderson county, East Tennessee, on September 1, 1800. Went from Anderson to Knox county in 1807. He resided in these counties till 1818, when he, with his parents, moved to Marion county in the same State, where he lived until 1826, when he went to Meigs county, East Tennessee, where he made it his permanent home till 1837; then emigrated to Cass county, Missouri. From this place, on May 12, 1857, he came to California, crossing the plains, accompanied by his family, and arrived in Sonoma county, on October 10th of that year, and at once settled in this township on his present farm, where he made a permanent residence.
  --- William Farmer was born 1 Sept 1800 (tombstone marker in Santa Rosa Cemetery, Sonoma County, California) and was only about six years old when the family moved to Knox Co. Their location in Knox County is not known, but it's possible JOHN FARMER was living near Anderson County at Beaver Dam Creek. He was a co-owner of land and an iron forge and mills there in 1818, along with his father-in-law HENRY FARMER, and brother-in-law John Farmer.

  --- An excerpt from the first biography, published in Missouri Baptist Biography, is entitled, Rev. Henry Farmer 1809-1870, Religious Activity in Missouri: If there be anything in the much mooted law of heredity, one will not be astonished to know that a child so "fathered" as was Henry Farmer, became, despite the handicap of meager advantages in childhood, a great and useful man in the kingdom of the Lord.

--- Andrew Farmer was apparently joined before 1830 in Marion County, Tennessee by his brother, Frederick Farmer.
--- He relocated at some point, along with his brother Andrew Farmer, in Marion County, Tennessee, where they can be found in the 1830 Federal census.

  --- Amy Adams notes that Hampton and his family lived near Jesse Pickett's family. They migrated to Dent County, Missouri in 1860 and were in Jefferson County, Illinois in 1870 and 1880. Amy was able to locate them there as late as 1920. She indicates that Hampton Farmer's children were named John, William, Frederick, Solomon, Celia E., Ellen, Hampton, Lorenzo and Nancy. Hampton Farmer was deceased by 1880, and his wife apparently was deceased by that time also.

(2) Morning Allen probably in McMinn Co Tn..b 1798 in N.C d 30 Dec., 1890 in Baylis, Pike Co. IL buried in Baylis Cemetery.
--- The obituary of William Farmer, Jr., states that his father’s name was William James Farmer and his mother was Morning Allen Farmer.
--- He was a practicing physician, which required in those days very little specific training, but his main interest was farming.
--- Dr. William Farmer to Aggy Sullins, 2 Nov, 1801, Knox County, Tennessee, John Farmer bondsman. JOHN FARMER, the bondsman, was William's brother.
--- William Farmer may be the same man as the William Farmer who was listed in 1802 as a Tennessee taxpayer on 1000 acres north of the Clinch River opposite the mouth of Bull Run.
--- Dr. William Farmer did not settle permanently in Tennessee, but like his brother JOHN FARMER ultimately went West as per described in the letters of J.W. Farmer . William's location and the names of some of his children are known from J.W. Farmer's letter of Dec 5, 1850 in Pike County, Illinois to his brother, Henry (William Henry) Farmer in Tennessee.
--- McMinn County website shows William Farmer in a list of “McMinn County Occupant Enterers” in 1824. So it appears William was living there as early as 1824 and left before 1835. It is during this time period that the four daughters of Morning Farmer were born – Lucy, Hannah (Ellen), Perlete and Martha)
--- the family was in the 1830 McMinn Co. Tennessee census (to) Morning Allen.
--- William Farmer husband of Aggie Sullins, a daughter of Nathan Sullins, did not remain in Marion County. The date of their departure is unknown, but they appear to have settled by 1835 in Pike County, Illinois based on family birth records
--- 1850 federal census, New Salem Twp, Pike County, Illinois. William Farmer 70, married, a farmer, b Virginia. ; Morning Farmer 52, b N.C.; Martha Farmer 18, b TN; Ellen Farmer 16, b TN; William Farmer 9, b IL; Simeon Chaplain 28, farmer; Polena J. (must be Perlete Jane Farmer who married Simeon Chaplain) Chaplain 20, b TN; and Mary E. Chaplain 1½, b IL. The Chaplains went to California before December, 1850
--- If the date of death of William Farmer's first wife, Aggie, is correct, then Martha, Ellen and William (Jr) were not Aggie's children, but rather they were by William Farmer's second wife, Morning, although she would have been ~43 when William Farmer Jr was born.
--- 1860 Census: Hadley twp, Pike County, Illinois. William 83 VA,Mourning 60 NC,William 19 IL,Mary E Chapman 10,Oakey 7 f
--- 1880 census Mourning Farmer age 82 years, a widow, lived in the household of John McCleery.
--- A comparison of sources of information shows that William Farmer thus had a total of at least eleven children, six by Aggy Sullins and five by Morning Allen. He may even have had a few more by Aggy, as suggested by his will which was written July 25, 1849. A copy of the will states:

WILL: I will my body to the Earth and sole (sic) to God...to my son Jecel (?Jessie) Farmer...Also my son Henry Farmer...and to my son Robert Farmer...And to my daughter Naomi McDaniel...And my daughter Sally Ann Strong...And to my son James Farmer...And to my daughter Agnes Craig...And to my daughter Virginia Craig... (each to receive) one dollar...and bequeath to my wife (Morning Farmer) all my personal property...during her life and at her death or second marriage the personal property is to be equally divided between her children. And to my son William Farmer I will...my real estate...Morning Farmer my executrix...25th day of July, 1849 Mary S. Thompson and Joshua Woosley, Wm Farmer His X mark.

--- Naomi McDaniel and Sally Ann Strong are listed as daughters of William Farmer in this will, although they are not mentioned in William Farmer's letter to Henry Farmer, nor in other documents on William Farmer's family. Although at the time, the term, daughter, was used on occasion to refer to a daughter-in-law as well as to a child, there is no evidence these women were William's daughters-in-law. It seems most likely Naomi and Sally Ann were married children of William Farmer and Aggy Sullins.
--- Info Laverne Worley--- Regarding Sally Farmer: I received my copy of William Farmer’s Will from another William Farmer descendant. Unfortunately, someone had handwritten notes on the copy of the will. This person interpreted Sally’s name as “Sally Ann” and her married name as “Strong”, but I now believe her married name may be “Sally Armstrong”.
--- marriage record on familysearch.org for ”Sarah Farmer” and Carey A. Armstrong on 2 Jan. 1828 in McMinn Co., Tennessee. I am not sure “Sally” was a nickname for “Sarah”, but this seems to be a possibility.
--- Deed in the McMinn County website: “1 Oct 1835 Carey Allen Armstrong, Atty in fact for William Farmer late of McMinn Co., to Russell Smith.”

In 1894, Simeon, Delilah, William and James (Delilah's son) moved to Pomona, California.

(Perlete Jane Farmer married Simeon Chaplin) Chaplin 20, b TN; and Mary E. Chaplin 1½, b IL.
--- The Simeon Chaplin family did not move to California before 1850. I believe this is a misreading of William Farmer's 1850 letter. Simeon went to California to participate in the gold rush - - I don't know exactly when he went to California and when he returned. But it appears he was back in Illinois at the time of the 1850 census. He was enumerated in the William Farmer household along with Perlete and their infant daughter, Mary Ellen. Info from Laverne Worley
--- They were enumerated a second time in October 1850 in Adams County, Liberty township, on the same page as Simeon's parents, Ebenezer and Mary Ferrell Chaplin. Francis Chaplin, age 21, in the Ebenezer Chaplin household. He was their youngest son. Francis Chaplin married Martha Farmer.Info from Laverne Worley

Francis used the name Frank or F. B. - - never discovered what the "B" stands for. They were married in Marion County, Missouri. They lived in Nemaha, Kansas where Frank was an officer in the Civil War. They then lived in Colorado for many years before Frank died, and then Martha moved back to Illinois where she died.

Henry Farmer II b. ca 1686 in Henrico Co VA. d 1753 in Chesterfield Co VA. married Sarah Ward in 1710 in Va. b 1694 in Virginia dau of Edward Ward and [Elizabeth Elam. dau of Gilbert Elam, Sr., a large land owner of Chesterfield Co].
---Henrico Co Abstracts Southside, 1736 Sheriffs Acct Books--Henry Farmer, Dr, 1736 2 Levys 250 Acres.
---In 1745 Henry Farmer gave 100 acres on the south side of the James River to Elam Farmer. Although no wife relinquished her dower right in the land, he and Sarah clearly had grown children in 1750 when Henry Farmer and his wife, Sarah, sold 101 acres on Mansfield Branch to their son Henry Farmer and 150 acres on Cattle Run to their son Lodowick Farmer. The next year they sold Lodowick another 150 acres on Proctors Creek.**
---He left no will because he had deeded his property to some of his children before his death. (Chesterfield Order Book 1, p. 201, June 1752 proports to his son William, p. 216 August 17, 1752 - property to his son Lodowick: Deed Book 1, pl 451. July 1750, property to his son 4 Henry 101 acres.)

Absent his will we cannot confirm his children, but the will of his son Seth named several--- ---Chesterfield Co VA Order Book C1753---Sarah Widow And Relict Of Henry Farmer Summoned To Next Court To Admin Estate.

1. Henry Farmer III b 1718 Chesterfield Co VA. d 1787 md Agnes BURTON ** **
--- Henry was living in Cumberland County in 1751 when he and his father sold the 101 acres his parents deeded him the year before to Morris Roberts. Southam Parish records reveal that one Henry Farmer was receiving support from the vestry as early as 1754 and was under the care of either William Basham or his son Henry Farmer Jr. until 1771.
--- Henry Farmer was a processioner in 1759 in that part of Southam Parish that became Littleton Parish in 1772, which perhaps explains why the subsidy for his father terminated in 1771.
--- Henry Farmer of Littleton Parish, possibly the father but likely the son, left a will in Cumberland County that remembered his wife, Catherine. After her death his property was to descend to the Martha Elson and Mary Elson, twin daughters of Mary Ann Elson. Henry did not say how they were related to him (will dated 1 April 1781, recorded 25 Mar. 1782).
- 1. Rev John Farmer b July 4, 1784 in Halifax Co VA d May 2, 1845 in Cass Co, MO married Abigail Reed 1809 in Anderson Co, TN. b. Nov 29, 1791 Rowan Co, NC d. Jul 28, 1840 Cass Co, MO
  --- He emigrated with his parents to Tennessee when but twelve years of age. About the year 1805 he became connected with the Baptist church and, in 1809, at the age of twenty-five, he married Miss Abigail Read...Her husband, owing to the poor facilities of those days, received but little education and she none. Yet both were possessed with strong mental endowments. She became a member of the Baptist church soon after their marriage and he was a licensed preacher quite early in life, and was regularly ordained to the ministry in 1819. By his force of character and his intellectual power he rose to considerable eminence in his church and was highly esteemed by that influential body of Christians...In 1839 he emigrated to Cass County, Missouri, and was moderator of Blue River Association at the time of his death...(on) May 2, 1845. His wife died several years previous, July 28, 1840. Their remains are interred in the cemetery two miles west of Pleasant Hill, Missouri.
  --- The second biography in the same work, is entitled, Rev. John Farmer 1784-1845 and reads in part: He was born into a family of de-voted Baptists in Halifax County, Virginia in the year 1784; and removed with his parents in early childhood to Anderson County, Tennessee. He was converted at the age of sixteen years...and (became) a minister of the Gospel...(when) he was twenty-five years old....In 1839, when fifty-five years old, he came to Missouri, whither his son Jeremiah had preceded him by two years. He settled in Cass County and became a member of Union Church, near Pleasant Hill. (Note).---The relationship that exists between the members of the Farmer Family, as represented in the Baptist History of Missouri, is somewhat peculiar. Elder John Farmer, the father of (Rev.) Jeremiah...and JOHN FARMER, the father of (Rev.) Henry, though both were from Virginia, could trace no relationship between their families, but JOHN FARMER, ESQ. married the sister of Rev. John Farmer and thus.....Jeremiah...(was a) cousin of Henry. This note will serve to make clear why there are two John Farmers mentioned in these records.
  - 1. Rev Jeremiah Farmer b Mar 26, 1810 Anderson Co, TN d Oct 17, 1848 Cass Co, MO md married Eliza Bailey, January 1, 1833, Rhea County, TN, b January 6, 1813. daughter of James Bailey, granddaughter of David Bailey. Her mother was Mary Rector, daughter of Cumberland Rector; granddaughter of Charles Rector; great granddaughter of John Rector." **
    ----When Jeremiah was five years old his father left Anderson County, Tennessee, and built mills and iron works in Knox County. Here he remained three years when he moved to Roane County and thence to Meigs County where he engaged in the same business. During this time Jeremiah was receiving such an education as the common schools afforded...At eighteen he discontinued going to school and began to superintend his father’s business, which he did for two years. In 1830, the father gave him an interest in the business, and he pursued it for four years.

(This would seem to be a reliable source as it was published in 1878 and people giving the info would have first hand knowledge of the Rector line.
    -Article about Rev. Jeremiah Farmer, page 222 ..."January 1, 1833, he was married to Eliza Bailey, who was born January 6, 1813. She was the daughter of James Bailey, granddaughter of David Bailey. Her mother was Mary Rector, daughter of Cumberland Rector; granddaughter of Charles Rector; great granddaughter of John Rector."
    --- In June, 1837, Rev. Jeremiah Farmer moved to Cass County, Missouri, where he resided till the time of his death (this is followed by details concerning Jeremiah's eleven children and their spouses)...Soon after coming to Missouri Mr. Farmer began preaching as a Baptist minister. For thirty years he supplied four churches, each once per month. The distances between the churches were often thirty to forty miles. The country was new, the onger-gations poor, and most of the labor was performed without compensation, and although he was compelled to cultivate other resources for the maintenance of his family, yet those obstructions did not deter this faithful follower of the Cross from preaching..During his life he baptized over two thousand persons. In 1875, he returned to the place of his nativity, Anderson County, and found in the possession of a relative, William S. Farmer, a number of papers belonging to his grandfather and great grandfather. These papers were receipts of church tithings and other interesting business papers dating back to 1773, 1781, 1788, etc. They had been preserved in the family with remarkable fidelity and allowed that his ancestors were prompt in meeting their obligetions.
    ---For 30 years he supplied four churches, each once per month. The distance between the churches was often 30 to 40 miles. The country was new, the conger-gations poor, and most of the labor was performed with-out compensation, and Rev. Farmer, in order to support his family, also became a banker and a lumberman. His youngest daughter (Francis Farmer Headen) wrote the following about her father: “My first recollection was when he came home from his long trips in the winter with icicles frozen to his whiskers, and his bearskin overshoes, with hair inside, covered with mud, as were his leggins, made of yards of flannel wrapped and fastened with pins.”

---Benedict married Lucy sister of his brothers wife Elizabeth Pendleton Thomas
--- Benedict Farmer and his brother Thomas established the mercantile house of T & B Farmer at Farmdale, Ky., in 1837 which they named in honor of the family. For 25 years the brothers were in business together. In 1861 he became the sole owner under the name of "B Farmer and Son". For 62 years he was connected with the business. At the death of his father, Benjamin Farmer, he became the owner of the homestead and plantation and his descendants still own it. His father migrated to Kentucky in 1807 and settled on the location now known as Farmdale. It is a family tradition that Daniel Boone deeded to Benjamin Farmer some of the land in his plantation. Older members of the family remember seeing the deed. **

OBIT: Wednesday Evening, August 4, 1920 **
Miss Eliza FARMER died last midnight at her home on Valley Street, having been taken ill Monday Morning. She had been in failing health for some time due to the infirmities of age, but more recently had seemed much better than usual. Sunday evening she accompanied some callers to the door and seemed unusually bright but was stricken ill only a few hours later.
The funeral has been arranged for Thursday morning at 10 o’clock and will be conducted from her late home, the Rev. R.M. Standefer officiating. Burial will be in Oakwood Cemetery.
The deceased was a native and life long resident of the county, being one of its oldest residents. She was the daughter of William FARMER and Martha MILTON and 93 years of age. For many years she, her brother, Dr. William FARMER who died February 24th last, and a sister, Miss Malinda FARMER, maintained a home together, living for years in the Oak Chapel section, this was while the doctor conducted an itinerary practice as a dentist through this section of southwest Virginia. When he established an office in Pulaski, the family became residents of the town, the sister dying several years ago. One brother survives, H.H. FARMER, of Hillsville, who is nearing 90. It has been a family blest with long life. This lone brother in the far evening of his life has the deepest sympathy of a host of friends.
The deceased was a woman beloved by many friends, but those only who knew her best can attest the influence of the beautiful life she lived. Since the passing of her brother she has received every care and attention of those who occupied with her the home and also of intimate friends. She was never failing in expressions of the kindness of all of those during her last days.

---Dandridge was in the Civil War, serving in Company F, 54th Virginia Infantry Regiment. He enlisted on September 9, 1861 in Newbern, Pulaski Co., VA. He was not wounded in the war. He served in the same company of the 54th as four of his brothers. The 54th Virginia Infantry Regiment fought in many battles, most notable were Chickamauga, Ga., Missionary Ridge, Tenn., Ringgold Gap, Ga., Stony Side, Ga., Dalton, Ga., Marietta, Ga., Atlanta, Ga., The Siege of Atlanta, Ga., and Franklin, Tenn. The 54th suffered 567 plus casualties during the war. The 54th captured the Regimental flag of the 21st Ohio, Regimental and State flags of the 22nd Michigan and the Regimental flag of the 89th Ohio. Johnny Clem, who gained national recognition as "The Drummer Boy of Shiloh", at age 12, was with the 22nd Michigan, when he reported to have killed the Colonel of the 54th Virginia Infantry, but later proved he killed the orderly of Colonel Trigg. The 54th and the 63rd Virginia Regiments were the only two Virginia Regiments from Virginia to serve in the Army of Tennessee. All others were with the Army of Northern Virginia. Dandridge moved his family from Pulaski County to Bland County, Virginia about 1880-1885. Part of the family came by wagon and part by horseback. Two of the sons rode one horse. George Byrd was in the saddle and William D. rode behind him. William D. later stated that he was so sore, he could hardly walk for days. Dandridge purchased 400 acres of land on Laurel Creek, Rocky Gap, Virginia. He purchased the land from Edd Davis for four horses, valued at $100 each. The original house he built is still standing, but in very poor condition. The house was built by Dandridge's son, George B. Akers. The land was from the top of East River Mountain to the top of Buckhorn Mountain. That stretches down East River Mountain and across Laurel Creek. Lucy Ann Akers Daughtery was the last on to live in the home. She was the daughter of George Byrd Akers. The house was originally made of logs and the logs could still be seen when upstairs. The Akers Cemetery is located close by the house. There are many Akers' buried in the cemetery, including Dandridge and Parthena. Dandridge has a Veteran's stone marking his grave. Inscription on the stone is Daniel Akers, Co. F, 54th Va. Inf. Source: Jack Akers ** ** **

--- Renee Hedge Lavis - 2007 John and Marys story is pretty tragic. He abandoned her sometime around 1907 going to Springfield Ohio. Mary died between 1908-1910, while carring water to the house. Clarence had surgery, not sure for what but he did write his mother a post card from the hospital in 1908 (I have it) and he died sometime after that. I cannot find him in 1910 either. Luvene was living in the E D Withrow home in Pulaski in 1910, and she died from burns she got in a fire in that home. I am not sure what year but between 1910-1920. I do have a picture of Clarence. My grandmother Ruth Farmer married in Pulaski, Hubert Thomas Hedge. So maybe you will understand when I tell you that I can give you some names and details but the dates are not there.
John had remarried and had another family but I have no details on that either. I do know my aunt said he came to see her mother when she was about 4-5. It was the first time my grandmother had seen her father in many many years. He died in the auto accident not long after that so it must have been sometime about 1930. My grandmother could not tell exactly when all these things happened either. They were just to painful for her to talk about. I hope some day someone just like me e-mails you and gives it all to you. I would love to know.

  --- Abraham Perry's family was from the Bertie Co./Chowan Co. area of North Carolina. This is the same area that the Farmer family and the Ratliff family were from. Many records of the Farmers in Chowan Co., as well as Edgecombe Co. (Edgecombe used to be part of Chowan, just like Bertie used to be part of Chowan). The Thompson family was also prominent in Chowan Co., and I would imagine that this is where Thompson Ratliff got his christian name. I do not have the direct tie from Jeremiah Farmer into Chowan Co. yet, but I believe that I will eventually find that Arnold Perry's family in Bertie was associated with these Ratliffs and Farmers, and therefore Arnold's family had close ties with Polly Ratliff's family. ** **

      --- Andrew Jackson Perry, joined the Union Army at age 18, and following his getting to come home , he became a country doctor, "taking care of the sick and deliverin' babies" in the Wayne, Lincoln, & Logan County areas of WV. He made his own medicines from herbs and went to a glass manufacturing co. here in Huntington and had the bottles (with his pictures on them) made for his medicines. He passed away one afternoon after saying he felt a little tired and thought he would take a nap and "he just kept napping". Info from Great granddaughter Della Perry Lilly
      --- Andrew J. "Doc Andy" Perry was the oldest child of Jesse "Curly Jesse" Perry and Marinda Marcum Perry. Doc Andy, as he was locally known, was the father of twenty-one (21) children, born to two different wives.
      - Andrew Jackson Perry's first wife, Emaline Maynard, was the mother of eleven children : James A. Perry, Laura Perry, Lindsey Perry, Elizabeth Perry, Timothy Perry, Dicy Perry, Lauressa Perry, Polly Perry, Stephen Perry, Millard Filmore Perry, and Alvis Perry.
      - Andrew Jackson Perry's second wife, Laura Belle Webb Perry, had twelve children: Emaline Perry, Sula Perry, Ella Perry, Jesse Perry, Frank Perry, Romaine Perry, Sherman Perry, Polly Perry, Georgia Perry, Chapman Perry, Glen Perry, and Della Perry. Two children of Doc Andy and Laura Belle Perry were still surviving as of 1999.
      -Doc Andy Perry served as a Private in the Union Army during the Civil War. Private Andrew J. Perry served in Company "E", 45th Kentucky Mounted Infantry, from 1863 to late 1864 with several 1st cousins that were the sons of his father's sister, Patsy Perry Mead, namely Rhodes Mead, Arnold Mead, and Kenis F. Mead. One of Zane D. Perry's ancestors, Andrew Jackson Hale, served in the same 45th Kentucky Mounted Infantry from Wayne County, WV, but Andrew Jackson Hale served in Company "B".
      -Doc Andy had no formal medical training, but served the Dunlow, West Virginia community for years as a doctor, delivering many local babies. Doc Andy also sold a rememdy called "Doc Andy's Oily Pine Syrup", which claimed to be able to cure stomach & bowel troubles, coughs, croup, pneumonia, influenza, catarra, sore throats, and other maladies.
      -Doc Andy Perry was born on October 27, 1844 and he died on March 16, 1930. Years before his death he hired a local man named John Kellerman to build his casket out of black walnut. After finishing the casket, Doc Andy painted a red, white, and blue American flag on the top of the casket, and stored the casket in his barn until needed for his burial. Doc Andy Perry died while living on McComas Creek in Wayne County, and was buried in the Sol Perry Cemetery in Dunlow, West Virginia.
      -Doc Andy Perry's father Jesse Perry was a brother to William Perry, while Doc Andy's mother Marinda Marcum Perry was a sister to Rebecca Marcum Perry. William and Rebecca Marcum Perry were married, and so the children of these two families were double-1st cousins to one another. Please see the pictures of Nathan M. Perry and Eliga Perry and others of the William and Rebecca Marcum Perry family elsewhere on this website.
