Thomas Farmer

Thomas Farmer (son of George Farmer and Nancy) was born in 1798 in Virginia. He married Salley Hubbard on March 5, 1818 in Oglethorpe County, Georgia.

Children of Thomas Farmer and Salley Hubbard are:
1. Male Farmer was born in 1820 in Georgia.
2. Male Farmer was born in 1825 in Georgia.
3. Female Farmer was born between 1831 and 1835 in Georgia.

He married Elizabeth Watkins on April 25, 1838 in Oglethorpe County, Georgia. Elizabeth was born in 1810 in Georgia.

Children of Thomas Farmer and Elizabeth Watkins are:
4. Elizabeth Farmer was born in 1838 in Georgia.
5. Jonathan T. Farmer was born in August 1844.

Notes
Thomas had 3 children we do not know about. The ages for the boys seems to be close to what I have in the tree. In 1830 there were two boys 5-10 and in 1840, there was 1 20-30 and 1 10-15, so the only dates that really correspond with both census records are 1820 and 1825. The other daughter was born between 1831 and 1835, according to the 1840 census.
A possible match for the oldest son of Thomas and Sally may be William H. Farmer, born in 1820. He is living in Oglethorpe County in 1850, 1860 and 1880. He married Mary Jane and had several children. I have not been able to place William with any other family. Sarah Jane Farmer, born in 1830 and who married Thomas J. Hardin could be the unknown daughter of Thomas and Salley. She and Thomas were married in 1846 in Oglethorpe County, Georgia.
