Marriage Notes for SPOTTSWOOD PALMER and ELIZABETH ROUSEY:
The marriage record of Spottswood P. Palmer and Elizabeth Rousey was filed
listing "S. Palmon" as the groom. The marriage ceremony was performed by
George W. Taylor, a Justice of the Peace, and the marriage was recorded on
March 9, 1841.
Children of SPOTTSWOOD PALMER and ELIZABETH ROUSEY are:
i. LUCRETIA2 PALMER, d. before October 2, 1866, Buchanan County,
Missouri.
Notes for LUCRETIA PALMER:
The only record I have of Lucretia is a probate record dated October 2, 1866.
I believe she was a child of Spottswood and Elizabeth (nee Rousey) Palmer,
although I did not find her listed with her in the only census record I've
found for Spottswood, dated 1850. The probate record was filed in Buchanan
County, Missouri and is transcribed below and recorded in Book E, Page 6.
Note that the application for Letters of Administration listed Spottswood's
children as being Lucretia's brothers and sisters which is the basis for my
conclusion that she is one of Spottswood's children, although she had not
been mentioned in Spottswood's probate records. No listing is made of the
real or personal property of Lucretia, nor of any debts she may have accrued
or that may have been owed to her.

H. Palmer as securities acknowledge ourselves to be held and firmly bound
