************************************************************************************** WHAT'S NEW????

Tuesday, June 17, 2008:  The website has been updated with a new password for security reasons.  Thanks!  

Saturday, May 31, 2008:  While adding the Love family data, I also found a Lily May/Mae Grizzle that married  Stonewall Love.  I do not show Lily in my Grizzle family, but that does not really mean anything since I have so  many brickwalls.  If anyone knows the names of her parents & siblings, please contact me.  Thanks!

Monday, April 21, 2008:  I have renewed this family research website with TribalPages for another year, and I  was also able to upgrade it; which allows a total of 5000 photos to be uploaded.  This upgrade is fantastic news,  since I was previously only allowed 1000 photos and I was too close to the total amount for any type of comfort.   Thank you TribalPages!

Sunday, March 09, 2008:  The visitor password has been updated and changed.  

************************************************************************************* GIVING CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE:

1.  I have over 18 years of files on my FARMER family to post here.  Files I've researched and compliled myself,  and files shared by other wonderful Researchers, and by several gracious Distant Cousins.  Many of which I  will endeavor to name here to thank them for their contributions.

2.  Ruth Farmer Webb (erspiderwebb28@comcast.net), of Muscle Shoals, Alabama has been one of my biggest  and most wonderful Distant Cousin contributors for her side (ancestor: Francis Marion Farmer, son of Ira E.  Farmer) of our Farmer Family.  Thank you so much, Ruth!  I couldn't have done it with out you!

3.  Lyn McCay Moore (lynmoore88@bellsouth.net), of Mobile, Alabama has and continues to share her wonderful  research on Francis Marion Farmer's daughter and Lyn's ancestor, Elizabeth Percy Farmer.  Elizabeth married  Thomas McClarence McCay and they moved from Alabama to Kentucky.   Thank you Lyn!

4.  William J. Liska (wliska@neo.rr.com), of Akron, Summit Co., Ohio is graciously sharing his Liska family data  with me.   His Aunt, Theresia Liska Farmer, is the Great Aunt that my mother named me after!  Theresia married  my Great Uncle, Kermit Roosevelt Farmer.  Thanks William!

5.  Josh Royster (croyster830@charter.net), of Talladega, Alabama has shared his research, as well as his family &  gravestone photos of our Royster family.  His direct ancestor, Hosea Royster was the brother of my maternal  "2nd grandmother," Martha Martiny "Tiny" Royster.  Hosea was Josh's 2nd great grandfather. This makes Josh and  I, 4th Cousins.  Josh is delighted to make contact with any of his distant cousins!  His contact info:  P. O. Box  6550, Talladega, AL 35161.  Phone:  256-761-1320.  Thank you Josh!

6.  To my Uncle, James R. Farmer (jrf3157@webtv.net), and to my brother, John A. Jacobs (no email addy), of  LaGrange, Troup Co., Georgia I want to give a "SPECIAL & HEARTFELT THANKS" for their wonderful Y-DNA  contributions to the surname DNA Projects conducted by Family Tree DNA.  My family's membership and  participation in these projects would not be possible without them.  Thank you Uncle James & Bro.  I love & miss  you both!

PLEASE NOTE: The female DNA is now also being traced through the Farmer Project with Uncle James's DNA.   This is a mother to daughter history that ended with my grandmother and Uncle James's mother, Willie Beatrice  "Bea" Grizzle Farmer.

The female DNA trail tracks backward through Bea & her mother, Jessie Beatrice Stone Grizzle; then back  through Bea's grandmother, Martha Martiny "Tiny" Royster Stone; back through her great grandmother, Nancy  Mitchell Royster; back through her 2nd great grandmother, Anna Thomas Mitchell.  (It's my hope that I will  discover the parents of Anna Thomas Mitchell in the near future).

7.  Flora Fay "Lou" Stone Russell (w7zhq975@charter.net), of Union, Oregon has & coninues to be a great help  with her branch of the Stone family tree.  Lou is the wife of James "Jim" Russell, and a daughter of Daniel W.  "Dan" Stone & Claudia Ella Parsons Stone.  Dan & Claudia Stone moved their family to California in 1948, and they  settled in the San Joaquin Valley.  My connection to the Stone's is my Great Grandmother, Jessie Beatrice Stone,  wife of Peter Alonzo Grizzle.  Jessie and Dan Stone were siblings.  Jessie & Peter Grizzle's daughter, Willie  Beatrice "Bea" Grizzle married my Grandfather, James Ware "Jim" Farmer.  This family connection makes Lou & I,  1st Cousins, 2 times removed...  Thanks Cousin Lou!

8.  Roy Deris Horsley Jr (rhorsl@bellsouth.net) of Rainbow City, Alabama, and Brenda Horsley Scott (unknown  addy) of Fairview, Alabama, deserved a big THANK YOU for sharing their Horsley family history.  Roy even sent  me a book that he and Brenda had published in 1986 on their Horsley family.  It's called:  "Horsley Families of  America, 1650 to 1986, Volume 1."  We have two Farmer & Horsley marriages in our family.  Etta Idella Farmer  married Robert Valentine Horsley, and Wade Hampton Farmer (brother of Etta) married Matilda Jane Horsley  (sister of Robert).  So, we had Farmer siblings marrying Horsley siblings.  Thank you so much Roy & Brenda!

9.  I want to thank ALL and any future members & cemetery photographers (to numerous to mention by name)  from the website, FindAGrave.com, for helping find and photograph the gravestones of many of my ancestors.   Thank you all!

10.  Randy Butler (prbutler@charter.net), has shared his family history with us, and he has a Butler Family Tree  on the website, Ancestry.com.  His tree mentions Elander Ann Farmer, daughter of Thomas "James" Farmer Jr.   She married John David Butler, and both are buried in the Prays Mill Baptist Church Cemetery, located in  Douglasville, Douglas Co., GA.  Thank you Randy for all your help in sharing Elander's Butler family history!

11.  Patricia Sanders Mayson (patmayson@comcast.net), of Monroe, Georgia is a descendant of Thomas "James"  Farmer Jr., through his youngest daughter, Clarissa Adaline Farmer.  She married William A. Tyler Fleming.  Pat  has and continues to help research & update the Farmer & Fleming family history.  Thank you so much, Pat!

12.  Would like to thank Lynn Farmer Hall (lynnhall@laurakennels.com), for sharing her family history.  Lynn's  father, Snowden Samuel Farmer, Jr., is the DNA provider for the Farmer Surname DNA Project on the website,  FamilyTreeDNA.com (FTDNA), a DNA match to my Farmer family.  On the 12 marker results we have an absolute  perfect match, on the 25 marker results we have a genetic distance of 1, and on the 27 marker results we have a  genetic distance of 2.  This family's history goes back far enough for Lynn's to show her 4th Great Grandfather,  Robert Farmer, who by the 1840 Census shows that he was born between 1751 & 1760.  He was listed on the  census as between the ages of 80 & under 90.  It's not a proven fact, but since the two known sons, Abel &  Benjamin Farmer, were born in South Carolina, it's believed that Robert was probably born there too, and most  likely married there.  Until I can show our connecting ancestor to this Farmer family, then the history of Robert  Farmer & his descendants will remain an "additional & separate" Farmer family to this website. Thank you Lynn!

13.  Ronald Love Robershaw (robe11@cox.net), has shared his research for the website.  Mary C. Grizzle married  James Thomas Love.  Mary was the daughter of William F. Grizzle & Zilfia Chadwick.  She was also the sister of  Peter Alonzo Grizzle, and the Aunt of Beatrice Grizzle Farmer.  Her husband James was the son of Lee Love &  Mary Anna Nappier.  Thanks so much, Ron!

14.  Would like to thank Robert Delano Farmer (bob_farmer@sbcglobal.net), and Ramsey Benjamin Farmer  (benandvicki@bellsouth.net), both descendants of the Thomas Farmer (b: 1744) of Bedford Co., Virginia.  The  have shared their family history for the website.  Bob & Ben's DNA are a Y-DNA match-up with my own Farmer  family's (Thomas "James" Farmer (b: c. 1760, of NC & GA) test results. They are also perfect 37 marker match- ups "to each other" for this Thomas Farmer of VA. However, my family on the 37 marker match has a "genetic  distance of 2".  So, we're not a "perfect match", but we are a match just the same, and this tells us that somehow  I am a distant cousin with Bob & Ben. Our Farmer family connecting ancestor is unknown to us at this time.  Until  I can show our connecting ancestor to this family, then the Thomas Farmer of Bedford Co., VA will remain an  "additional & separate" Farmer family to/on my website. Thank you both, Bob & Ben!

15.  Gearldean McCrary (gmc41@sbcglobal.net), of Eastland, Texas & an Adams researcher, has shared her  family research.  Minnie Childs, a daughter of Samuel R. Childs & Mary E. "Mollie" Farmer, married William  Lawrence Adams.  William belongs to the Adams family that Gearldean is related to & researching.  Thank you,  Gearldean!

16.  Troy Brunson (troybrunson@yahoo.com), and mainly his wife, Linda Reed Brunson, is a descendant of our  Mary E. Farmer, daughter of Ira E. Farmer and Elizabeth Caldwell.  Mary is known to Troy & Linda as Mollie Farmer  Childs, wife of Samuel R. "Sam" Childs.  Troy has shared a report titled: "Descendants of Mary "Mollie" E. Farmer,"  on Linda's family, and he sent us a wonderful photo of Mollie and two of her daughters.   Thank you both for  sharing and keeping us updated, Troy & Linda!

23.  Horsley researcher, Paulette Gilchrist (pgilchr@gmail.com), of St. Clair Co., AL has shared a lot of the family  history of Theophilus T. Horsley with me.  She has also cleared up many questions I've had about Jonathan T.  Horsley Sr. and his many descendants.  Paulette has a family tree on the website, Ancestry.com, and has agreed  to share her data for this website.  Her tree is called:  "St. Clair Trees & Branches," and the URL is:   http://awtc.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=pgilchr11&id=I18014.  We have two Farmer & Horsley  marriages in our family.
