Fourth Generation
8. Jacob Palmer, son of Jacob Palmer and Marthalena Braun, was born on 27 Nov 1785 in Maryland,
died on 5 Mar 1862 in Jackson, Wells, Indiana at age 76, and was buried in Balsley Cem, Washington, Blackford, Indiana. Jacob married Elizabeth Riser.
The child from this marriage was:
4 i. Jacob Palmer
Note:
He appeared on the 1860 Census census. I was looking to verify Jacob Palmer and Elizabeth Riser. One person had that she was from Ireland, married in Virginia where their kids were born and then Jacob & Elizabeth went to Ohio where they died. There weren't any sources given and I could find nothing to substantiate this premise. I found that Jacob & Elizabeth and their son Jacob & his wife Sophia were all buried in the Balsley Cemetery in Washington, Blackford, Indiana so unless they had their bodies sent to Indiana, I feel they died there. They were living in Indiana in the 1850 &1860 Census. So if anyone has any different information, please let me know.
