I am researching my "Farmer" family tree and am looking for relatives/decedents or information about my grandfather Milton Owen Farmer and my great grandparents Milton Bishop Farmer and Nannie Elizabeth Witt and their parents and children.
My grandfather, Milton Owen Farmer, was born in 1907 in Hurt, VA and died in 1949 in Washington State. He married my grandmother Dollie May Farmer in Unionville, MO in 1931.
My great grandfather, Milton Bishop Farmer, was born on May 5, 1878 in Pittsylvania County, VA, most likely the Hurt area. Date of death unknown. Last know to be alive in Hurt in 1942 at the age of 64. Records show he lived in the Altavista, Hurt, Otter Creek, Staunton River, areas his entire life. I believe his parents were Thomas Farmer and Margaret Harth both from Virginia, probably the Pittsylvania County area.
Nannie Elizabeth Witt is believed to be born around 1881 in Bedford County, VA, date of death unknown. I believe her parents to be William Ward Witt and Lockey Jane Burnett. I believe they lived and died in the Bedford, Bedford County area.
Milton and Nannie Farmer had at least three children.
Viola M Farmer 1902 -- (May have married an Ayers)
James O Farmer 1906 --
Milton Owen Farmer 1907 -- 1949 (My grandfather)
Thomas Farmer and Margaret Harth may have had these children:
Sallie Farmer1865 --
Nannie Farmer1866 --
Charles Farmer Farmer1868 --
James Farmer1872 --
Laban Edward Farmer1873 --
Robert Farmer1874 -- 1933
Ella H. Farmer1876 --
Milton Bishop Farmer -- 1878 -- (my great grandfather)
Jerry Farmer1888 -- 1982
Samuel Farmer
I believe Thomas Farmer may have also been married to Sally Yancy and Sarah ??.
I have just about exhausted all internet resources and have called libraries, cemeteries and funeral homes looking for information about my family. If you have any information, pics, contacts, or stories (good or bad) about my family I would be thrill to talk to you.
