  • Notes 
    • William Farmer moved his family to Kentucky around 1800 (He witnessed the deed of Thomas Wallace to James Dawson on 27 Jan 1810 in Green county Kentucky) and settled in Green County, Kentucky (Presently Taylor County, Kentucky). It is believed that William and his wife Mary were buried on the Old Sylvester Newton farm. However, this family cemetery has been totally destroyed. According to the Taylor County Cemetery Book, some of the stones at the graves had inscriptions on them at the time the book was compiled. No stones are present now. The Farmer cemetery was located off county road 634 in Taylor County and the book gives the exact location as 37 degrees 26 minutes 06 seconds x 85 degrees 19 minutes and 21 seconds. He had an estate probated on 25 Sep 1815 in Green county Kentucky. William made a reference to 'monies I have not yet obtained' from his father's estate be put out at interest and the proceeds be applied to the use of his son Laban or as much of it as his wife thinks necessary for that purpose.
