Notes:
Joseph McKissick Palmer was the husband of Permelia Brown Palmer. It was originally thought that Permelia was a Mitchell and brother of James “Jim” Mitchell. Joseph was born about 1827 in Georgia and died June 13, 1881. He was thought to have died July 21, 1900, but Olva Nichols Jones, in completing a DAR Application, found proof of his actual date of death. She also found proof that his wife, Permelia’s, maiden name was “Brown” rather than Mitchell. Joseph is buried at Mt. Zion Cemetery on County Highway 102, ten miles north of Hamilton. The Joseph Palmer family lived just southwest of the junction of present-day County Highway 156 and County Highway 25. Children of Joseph and Permelia (Brown) Palmer were: Elizabeth, born 1846, married Mathew H. Glenn; William, born 1848; John, born June 25, 1850, Marion County, Alabama, died November 10, 1915, Marion County, buried Pleasant Ridge Cemetery, married Mary Molly Brown; Frances, born 1853; Elmira, born 1855; Benjamin, born 1858/9; and Pinkney Palmer, born 1862.
