Birth*	Joseph, son of Samuel L. Palmer and Frances Louisa Means, was born circa 1860 in Arkansas. He listed as Josephus in the 1870 census.1
Census1870	Joseph appeared on the 1870 Federal Census of Jefferson Twp., Jackson Co., Arkansas in the household of his mother, Frances Louisa Means, as 10 yo Josephus Palmer.1
Census1880	Joseph appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of Jefferson Twp., Jackson Co., Arkansas in the household of her mother, Frances Louisa Means, as 20 yo son Joseph Palmer.2
ResearchNote*	Research Note of 23 June 2019 re FSTrees. Joe Palmer (1852-1942) entry, ID no. 9DWX-TVL, shows a Joe Palmer, son of Sam & Frances Means Palmer (1852-1942) with no source citations. The birthyear of 1852 obviously does not work with the 1870 census. The J. H. Palmer at Find A Grave (1860-1907, Memorial no. 54387253, buried Palmer Cemetery) could be this man. There's an odd entry in the 1900 census for a Joe Palmer, b. May 1860, parents b. KY. On the next line is Mag Bandy, 'mother', b. AR. Can't have it both ways - either she's not his mother or one of the birthstates is wrong. The May 1860 birth for Joe matches the Find A Grave memorial perfectly. Inconclusive whether this is our Joe or not.3

Marriage*	She married Horace Alston Allen on 15 November 1849 in Harrison Co., Missouri. Find A Grave shows 13 Nov and 15 Nov in Livingston Co., MO. The record in MO Genealogy Trails seems more reliable.4,5
Census1850*	Emily and Horace appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of Dist. 27, Harrison Co., Missouri, enumerated 4 November 1850, as 23 yo Alston & 21 yo Emily Allen. Emily's birthstate is indexed as NY but it's pretty clearly KY.6

Census1900	Emily appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Washington Twp., Harrison Co., Missouri, as 70 yo widow Emley Allen in the household of Horace Luther Allen and Julia Victoria Parman; as 44 yo farmer Luther & 26 yo wife Julia P Allen.10

10 Apr 2023

Birth*	Easter, daughter of John T. Ricketts and Mary Agnes "Mollie" Cravens, was born on 29 April 1862 in Christian Co., Kentucky. Find A Grave's year is 1859 but that doesn't work with the census record.2,6
Census1870	Easter appeared on the 1870 Federal Census of Scates Mill Pct., Christian Co., Kentucky in the household of her parents, John T. Ricketts and Mary Agnes "Mollie" Cravens, as 8 yo Easter V Ricketts.7
Marriage*	Her first marriage was to Winfield Scott Means, son of Young J. Means and Martha C. Palmer, on 20 June 1877 at Hopkinsville, Christian Co., Kentucky. I wonder why they were married in Tennessee. Both are from Kentucky and lived there in 1877.8,9,3
Census1880	Easter appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of Hopkinsville, Christian Co., Kentucky, as 19 yo (indexed 29 yo) daughter-in-law Essie V Means in the household of Young J. Means and Martha C. Palmer; as 71 yo Young J. & 70 yo Martha Means.10

Their children Walter Scott, Edna and John Thomas were listed as living with them. Harvey and Essie didn't age much this last decade!13
Marr-Divorce*	Easter was divorced from James Harvey Hayes between 1910 and 1920. Divorce inferred from fact Essie is in Nashville with son John in 1920, claiming widowed, while James is in Hopkinsville with his m2 Eva.14,15
Census1920*	Easter appeared on the 1920 Federal Census of Nashville, Davidson Co., Tennessee, enumerated 2 January 1920, as 60 yo widow Essie Hayes. Her son John Thomas was listed as living with her, as well as John's wife 19 yo Thelma Hayes.14

Death*	Easter died on 18 October 1935 in Nashville, Davidson Co., Tennessee, at age 73. Essie's death record index gives no date of death but does show burial date of 20 Oct 1935 at Riverside Cemetery. The actual date shows on death certificate & in the obit.17,18,6
Burial*	She was buried at Riverside Cemetery in Hopkinsville, Christian Co., Kentucky, Section R. No headstone photo but there is an obit at Find A Grave.6

Birth*	Edward was born between 1832 and 1833 in Kentucky.2
Marr-Bond	Edward P. Baker and Rosabella Endora Means posted a marriage bond on 7 January 1857 at Hopkinsville, Christian Co., Kentucky.3
Marriage*	He married Rosabella Endora Means, daughter of Young J. Means and Martha C. Palmer, on 8 January 1857 in Christian Co., Kentucky.1
Census1860*	Edward and Rosabella appeared on the 1860 Federal Census Christian Co., Kentucky, enumerated 23 August 1860, as 27 yo overseer E. P. and 22 yo Rosa Baker. Their son Archie G. was listed as living with them. I conclude son 'John' is Archie based on age of 0.6 in August 1860. Archie's Find A Grave entry gives his birth as March 1860. If John and Archie were twins where's Archie in this census?2
Death*	Edward died before 22 September 1870. The 1870 didn't list widow status. The fact Rosabella has moved to Trigg County next door to her parents suggests either a divorce or that Edward has died. Given I can find no record for Edward after the 1860 my conclusion is that he had died by 1870.4
