Henry Farmer (son of George Farmer and Nancy) was born in 1795 in Virginia. He died in 1873. He married Eliza Carter on March 28, 1816 in Oglethorpe County, Georgia.

3.  Charles G. Farmer was born in 1822.
4.  Elizabeth Jane Farmer was born in 1823.

He married Keziah Jennings on December 22, 1825 in Oglethorpe County, Georgia.

He married Margaret L. Bledsoe. She was born on January 2, 1805 in Greene County, Georgia. She died on April 25, 1887.

9.  James Henry Farmer was born in 1840.
10. Margaret M. Farmer was born in 1843 in Georgia.
11. Georgia Ann Farmer was born on August 28, 1850.

Notes
1820 Census: It is my belief that the 1 male and 1 female listed as 10-15 are siblings rather than children. Henry and his wife were married in 1816 and therefore only the two younger would be their children.
1830 Census: In this census, there are 3 daughters aged 5-9. One is Elizabeth. I do not know who the other two are. They could possibly be daughters of Keziah from a previous marriage. It does not seem likely to be theirs and not sure if there would have been time for he and Eliza to have 2 more daughters, unless they were twins? There also seems to be another male child as well who may be Henry and Eliza'a. He would have been born between 1816 and 1820.
Henry Farmer witnessed the will of George Whitsell, Senr. of Oglethorpe Co., GA on Nov. 22, 1820.
