Marriage*	She married Richard A. White on 29 December 1867 in Humboldt Co., California. My preliminary research suggests their children were Mary E (c1871-c1960, perhaps m. Wm B La Mar, divorced by 1930) and Ralph M White (1874-1947). The 1900 census confirms 2 born with 2 living.5,6,3
Census1870*	Margaret and Richard appeared on the 1870 Federal Census of Eel River Twp., Humboldt Co., California, enumerated 22 July 1870, as 27 yo Richard & 18 yo Maggie E White. There's a 12 yo Edward Palmer, likely Maggie's brother who is enumerated twice - once as an 11 yo with his parents, once as a 12 yo with his sister. I've got no one else who fits the bill.

There are no family numbers. Richard is HOH and Margaret is wife. There are five lodgers living with them.10

Mordecai McCoy Sr.¹

ResearchNote*

Research Note re really? This man may be a bit of a stretch. Here's my thinking - in the 1880 census we find Mordecai McCoy (apparently Jr., though it's nearly illegible), with sister Mary Becker (future wife of James Means Palmer), and widowed James (who m1 Martha Frances McCoy). Conclusion is that Mordecai, Mary, and the deceased Frances were siblings, all issue of Mordecai Sr. and some unknown wife.1

Birth*	Minnie, daughter of James Means Palmer and Frances "Fannie" McCoy, was born on 3 October 1871 in Hydesville, Humboldt Co., California.2,1
Census1880	Minnie appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of Yager Creek, Humboldt Co., California, as 8 yo Minnie, apparently daughter of James M. Palmer in the household of Mordecai McCoy Jr.; as 37 yo sheep raiser Mordeacei A McCoy.1
Marriage*	Her first marriage was to Edmond B. McMurtry on 20 August 1890 at Humboldt Co., California. Given that Edmond is in son Amos' house in the 1930 census it seems safe to say this marriage ended in divorce sometime between 1890-1895.3
Marriage*	Her second marriage was to William E. Swan on 4 July 1895. In the 1910 census they show married 15 years, m1 for William, m2 for Minnie, with 4 born & 3 living. I've found no info on the deceased child.4
Census1900*	Minnie and William appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Vanduzen Twp., Humboldt Co., California, enumerated 16 June 1900, as 34 yo William E & 28 yo Minnie M Swan. Edmond's 8 yo step-son (Minnie's son) Amos McMurtry was listed as living with them.5
Census1910	Minnie and William appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of Soquel Twp., Santa Cruz Co., California, enumerated 12 May 1910, as 45 yo William E & 38 yo Minnie M Swan. Their children 19 yo step-son Amos M McMurtry, 8 yo dau Pearl and 5 yo son Vearl Swan were listed as living with them.6
Census1920	Minnie and William appeared on the 1920 Federal Census of San Jose, Santa Clara Co., California, enumerated 3 January 1920, as 59 yo W E & 48 yo Minnie Swan. Their children 18 yo Pearl Swan, 16 yo Vearl Swan, and 27 yo step-son Amos McMurtry were listed as living with them.7
Death*	Minnie died on 16 July 1922 in California at age 50.2
Burial*	She was buried at Oak Hill Memorial Park in San Jose, Santa Clara Co., California. Joint headstone photo w/ m2 Wm E Swan available at Find A Grave.2
ResearchNote*	Research Note of 29 May 2019 re research challenges. Minnie May Palmer is challenging. It's pretty well established that she married twice, m1 to Edmond B McMurtry, m2 to William Ellsworth Swan, and that she had a son Amos McMurtry. Beyond that the story gets messy. Pay attention to citations and be suspicious of FSTrees.
