Carol A. Wells-Perlaky's Notations:
Notation 1: Her middle name is shared as Ann on the 1847 marriage record. Some share her middle name being Alma, but I have not come across any paper records (i.e. Census, a birth record, a death record, newspaper mention, et al) that share Alma being her middle name. I went with "Eliza Ann Reed" as shared on her marriage record - only a FindAGrave memorial page, which - as sidenote - her middle name is not shared on her headstone, and some online trees share Alma as a middle name.
Notation 2: Was Eliza Reed a sibling of an Alven Reed, who married a Mary Jane Graham in 1849 in neighboring Ross Township, Butler County, Ohio, United States? There are shared DNA matches with descendants of Alven Reed's children, but his wife was a child of a Hannah "Fanny" Palmer Graham (who was also born in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland) ... which Hannah "Fanny" could been a sibling, or perhaps a cousin, of Blaney Palmer, Sr. so the DNA matching through the Palmers? There is also a William Reed who lived in Ohio that is of interest as a possible sibling, or close in age relation, to Alven Reed - so possibly also Eliza.
Notation 3: There were two Eliza Reeds who was born about 1817-1819 and lived in Ohio. One is the Eliza A. Reed who married Blaney Palmer, Sr. The other is a child of Thomas "Tom" Reed and Mary Russell, the latter being a child of Charles Russell. The latter Eliza Reed married a John Grey/Guy in Gallia county, Ohio and is recorded in the 1850 census, for Gallia county of Ohio, with her husband and a couple of her Russell cousins in the same household. By the 1850, Blaney Palmer and his wife and oldest child are recorded being in Ripley County, Indiana. Someone, on Ancestry.com's site, shared a PDF file about Charles Russell's will, which mentions his granddaughter - Eliza Reed - in it, and so they titled the PDF file as to being about/for "Eliza Reed, wife of Blaney Palmer" as to being the Eliza Reed mentioned when it was the other Eliza Reed who was Charles Russell's granddaughter. Undoubtedly the titling of the PDF file, pointing to being for the incorrect Eliza Reed, has lead some people to incorrectly cite/include that will as a source for Blaney Palmer, Sr's wife. Currently, on my side of the researching, Eliza Ann Reed Palmer's parents remain as unknown.
Notation 4: Share DNA matches with this person's known descendants.
Notation 5: Known ancestor of Carol on paternal side of her family tree.
