THOMAS L. PALMER, one of the oldest men in Lawrence county, as well as one
of the county's earliest pioneers, was born February 28, 1797, in Loudoun
County, Va., and is one in a family of six children born to Daniel and
Letitia (Fulkerson) Palmer, who were natives of New Jersey.  During the war
of 1812 he served his country faithfully under the command of Col. Reno, and
a few years after its close moved to Kentucky where he married Miss Abigail
Stipp, April 6, 1824.  In 1826 he settled in Shawswick Township, Lawrence
Co., Ind., but a few years later moved to Illinois and from there in 1835
returned to Lawrence County and settled permanently in Pleasant Run
Township, which has since been his home.  Mrs. Palmer was born December 10,
1799, and by Mr. Palmer became the mother of six children, named:  Amanda,
Rebecca, Letitia, James Wood, John and Catharine.  She died a member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, August 19, 1876.  Mr. Palmer by an upright life
has made numerous warm friends and but few enemies;  he has always followed
agricultural pursuits and is the owner of a good farm of 280 acres.
