NOTES:  The western line between Marion Co AL and MS was confused at the 
time the PALMERs lived there, hence the uncertainty of birth 
places. 
Benjamin may have served in the C.S.A. There are four men by that 
name in the Arkansas muster rolls. One can be eliminated out of 
hand due to details in his service jacket. Whether this Benjamin 
is one of the other three is difficult to determine. 
Benjamin homesteaded property abutting Lynn Ferry Road between 
Texarkana and the turn-off toward Boyd. He built a blacksmith shop 
there and was probably responsible for his son Hezie learning the 
trade. 
Marguarette and Nancy Jackson PALMER were probably named for their 
maternal aunts, Marguarette and Nancy J. HAMETER.
