Carol A. Wells-Perlaky's Notations:
Notation 1: Indiana Death Certificate for Elizabeth (Palmer) Grames lists her parents' names as David Palmer and Mary Campbell.
Notation 2: David Palmer's birth year I calculated from his death notice,published 13 Mar 1863, which shared his age being 82 at the time of his death on 9 Mar 1863.
Notation 3: Basing this relationship thought upon DNA matches with a) my own Ancestry DNA test, b) my sister's Ancestry DNA test, c) one of my maternal 1st cousins' Ancestry DNA test and d) one of my children's Ancestry DNA test. If David Palmer is not the father, as I speculate him to possibly being, then he could been a paternal uncle.
Notation 4: Margery Palmer's marriage record to Arthur Woods listed her father's name and occupation.
Notation 5: Share DNA matches with some this person's known children's descendants.
Notation 6: Known ancestor of Carol on maternal side of her family tree.
Notation 7: Known sibling of Blaney Palmer Sr. per passed along family stories from my mother and her siblings.
Notation 8: Known sibling of Hannah Frances "Fanny" Palmer Graham based upon passenger list where Isabelle Palmer traveled to the United States with 2 of "Fanny"'s older children.
