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.

Carol A. Wells-Perlaky's Notations:
Notation 1: 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 2: Found Mary Campbell's name, as the wife of David Palmer, through Elizabeth Palmer Grames' Indiana death certificate. The above mentioned DNA tests, in Notation 1, have DNA matches with known descendants of Elizabeth Palmer Grames' children.
Notation 3: Some trees share a Sanford Palmer [Sr.] and Mary Ann Davies as the parents of a "William James Palmer" and attach Blaney, Sr. and John Palmer being children of "William James Palmer" of County Cork and-or County Antrim. However there are issues with this (i.e. certain dates conflict/don't match up/are changed around by users or that blank name's line records said to be for "William James Palmer"/to create a set of twins) and that at one time "William James Palmer" was listed as a twin of another child, Sanford Palmer, Jr., to have 1 Christening record cover 2 children ... then it was changed to having "William James" be the couple's oldest child (perhaps as a way to try to "explain" why he, as the oldest, may not have a Christening record/that it was "lost", but all the other known children of the couple do have one. Another recent event, to try to help have "William James Palmer" kind of work for the father thought/to have one of their children born in Country Antrim to use a County Antrim birth record for a child named John Palmer, is to have Blaney Palmer, Sr. become the younger brother despite John Palmer's estimated birth year, in United States records, being consistent and share him being younger than Blaney Palmer, Sr. There is also that there are no DNA matches shared with any descendants of Sandford Palmer, Sr. and Mary Ann Davies's known children [Mary Ann, Hannah, Jonathan Tanner, Simon Davies and Sanford Palmer, Jr.] whereas there are several DNA matches with the descendants Elizabeth Palmer and Margory/Margery Palmer's children [and both women, in at least one record, shared being born in County Tyrone, Ireland to a David Palmer]. On my side, the DNA matching - as well the lack thereof - is hard to ignore.
Notation 4: Share DNA matches with this person's known descendants.
Notation 5: Known ancestor of Carol on paternal side of her family tree.
