Yeah that is a picture of me in 1983 in olden days attire. I know I was born in the wrong generation. I do so love the times of yesteryear. My mother says I look like my great-aunts when they were young, so as we find and locate pictures, I guess we will find out just how much I do.
This page will be a constant work in progress, as I meet new cousins, and add new photos and information. If you feel you are connected to our family, please contact us. We would love to hear from you and add "new Branches" to the tree. If you contact us and provide information, please let us know how you would like to be cited. We are forever grateful, for all cousins help! There are missing pictures and information. If you have any thing that would add to this collection and help fill in the missing spots please email me or contact me for a family sheet and I will mail you one to fill out.

It has been brought to my attention that some information has been included among the lines that come directly from a Farmer Cuzin Book and was sent to me , that I included, without knowing it came from his book . "Two Farmer Families of Early Virginia, c. 2006 by Don Coonrod, and another cuzin Carol Franklin that contributed information to his book , found the information and notified Don of this occurance. Some of the material on the web site comes verbatim from Two Farmer Families of Early Virginia, c 2006 by J. Donald Coonrod, M.D. . This was done without my being aware it was quotable from his book . I will as quickly as possible try to find all book passages and acknowledge his work per section
A "thank you" goes to cuzin's helping of our tree grown.

Various Spellings
Farmer, Farmor, Fermer, Fermour, Formor, Firmor and variants of Fermor
There is speculation that the origin of FERMOR was from the French fermier/farmer, or from the Old English fermor - collector of land taxes.
**
The term denoted in the first instance a tax-farmer, one who undertook the collection of Taxes, revenues, and imposts, paying a fixed sum for the proceeds, and secondarily someone who rented land for the purposes of farming. This name is of Anglo-Saxon descent spreading to the Celtic countries of Ireland, Scotland and Wales in early times and is found in many mediaeval manuscripts throughout the above islands. Examples of such are a Thomas Fermour, who was recorded in the 'Poll Tax' of the West Riding of Yorkshire, England, in the year 1379 and a Francis Farmer and Mary Wilson, were married in Saint Mary Aldermary, in the year 1772. In Scotland an Alan Fermour witnessed instrument signed at Saint Andrews, in the year 1391 a William Fermour was Burgess of Crail, in the year 1619. In Ireland the name is found in Ulster being introduced there from England centuries ago.

The coat of arms displayed is for the Easton Neston family (actually for Sir George Fermor c1600.) It is not the first Farmer coat-of-arms. George Fermor took off the three gold anchors that were on his father's. Thomas Farmer's family coat-of-arms was a shield with three blue fleurs-de-lis on a silver chief with eight gold and red diagonal bars in the base. His father quartered it with the Barker-Burley arms on his tomb at All Saints in Marlow. Since Thomas was the oldest son, these would have been his arms, too.
...Info from Jim Farmer
Several Coats of Arms belong to different branches of the English Fermor or Farmer family, who lived in Northampton, Sussex, Surrey, Liecester, Norfolk, Oxford and other counties. Fermor was the ancient name of the Farmer family. **
One of the principal seats of the family was at Easton Neston, Northampton. Records of the family before 1500 show it to be a family of prominence and property.
Sir John Fermor of Easton Neston, Northampton, is the first Fermor or Farmer of record raised to Knighthood on Oct 2, 1553, in the presence of Queen Mary.
His son, Sir George Farmer, was made a Knight in 1586 in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.
His son, Sir Hatton Farmer, was raised to Knighthood in 1603 by King James I on the occasion of a visit to his father, Sir George, at his mansion at Easton Neston, Northampton.
The third son of Sir George Farmer, Robert Farmer, established a branch of the family at Easton Neston, Ireland, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.
Sir Hatton Farmer's son and heir, Sir William Farmer, was made a Knight of the Order of the Bath in 1661.
Sir William Farmer's son and heir, William Farmer, was created Lord Lempster in 1692 by King William and Queen Mary.
His son, Thomas Lord Lempster, was created Earl of Pomfret in 1721 by King George I.
Sir George Fermor or Farmer of Easton Neston, Ireland, was made a Knight in 1780, in recognition of the service of his father, a Captain in the Royal Navy, who was killed in battle. This Sir George Farmer used the same Coat of Arms as the Earl of Pomfret, except that the motto was "Fortis et Fidelis."
The Shield and Arms of the Earl of Pomfret are generally considered the Coat of Arms of the Farmer family. His Crest was a cock's head, resting in a coronet, which indicated Nobility... The Crests vary slightly. Most of them are cock's heads. One was a flower, another a lion's head. The motto of all English Farmer Coats of Arms was "Hora e Sempre."
All the early Farmers had several sons but the title descended to the oldest son only. They came from England and undoubtedly belonged to the English Farmer family, probably descended from the second or third son of one of the early Farmers.

Here starts the FARMER lineage and our family History ( as I know of it thus far)
But any and all additions and/or corrections will be gladly accepted by your humble genealogist. Our tree is becoming a forest and I am such a naturalist, I do so enjoy watching it grow.
12-2006The website changes often (as in daily sometimes) and please remember this is a works in progress. SO info can change as I validate it , or as it is found to have been posted online from previous researchers , also in their quest. We all have to start somewhere to get to where we are going ...Such is the life in Genealogy??
Things are not set in stone unless noted. History and repeative names give us all a headache at times. SO PLEASE, if you find I have made a "connect the dot" error or glitch, PLEASE email me , as I am not trying to stretch the truth NOR trying to make things fit , just to see them fit. Its a family effort and I am trying to help the families and groups be put into a flow that other cuzins looking for their lines, may possibly find a starting point. So please, let me know if there is a OOOOPs anywhere among the groups. THANKS ,,,,Vickie

BIO
--- Thomas Fermor; a wool merchant who had made two prosperous marriages, died in 1485 leaving 200 marks and property in Oxfordshire to each of his three younger sons.
--- Witney was first recorded in AD 969, though there is evidence of both Iron Age and Roman settlements in the area. **
---WITNEY BOROUGH: ECONOMIC HISTORY (1500-1800), by Simon Townley
**
By the early 16th century, following an apparent acceleration in local cloth manufacture from the 1460s, Witney was attracting wool merchants who far eclipsed their predecessors both in wealth and size of operation, some of them broadly comparable with the well known entrepreneurial clothiers of Suffolk, Wiltshire, and Berkshire. Thomas Fermor's widow Emmot, previously married to the local woolman Henry Wenman, evidently continued trading in wool and cloth, and died extremely wealthy in 1501: debts owed her, worth over £1,000, point to dealings both with prominent London traders and mercers, and with Italian merchants such as the Bonvisi family of Lucca, while wool stocks in her 'wool houses' at Witney and in Northleach (Glos.) were together valued at over £500. A 'store' left to Emmot by Thomas Fermor may also have been a wool store, perhaps implying a continuation of the bishop's policy of using Witney as a centre for collecting wool, while Emmot's possession of six 'unwrought' broad cloths points to trading in unfinished cloth and perhaps involvement in manufacture. Emmot's eldest son Richard Wenman (d. 1534), a Merchant of the Staple, was equally wealthy, leaving lands at Witney, Caswell, Cogges, and Lew: in 1524 he was taxed on goods worth over £860, a sum unrivalled within the county and comprising some 78 per cent of Witney's total assessment. From the later 16th century wool merchants on this scale largely disappeared from Witney, to be replaced by smaller but still wealthy clothiers and master weavers more directly involved in local manufacture. Probably the last prominent Stapler was Edward Wilmot (d. 1558), an incomer associated with the Wenmans, who was Witney's wealthiest taxpayer in 1544 when he was assessed on goods worth £60. Besides interests in Southampton and lands in Gloucestershire he had dealings with Calais Staplers such as the Johnson brothers, to whom he lent £1,000 in 1544.
---In large part the industry's continuing success was due to securing new markets. Besides the international trade represented by merchants such as the Fermors, Wenmans, and Wilmots, London connections were important throughout the 16th century, and so remained. Witney clothiers selling cloth at Blackwell Hall in London in the 1560s included members of the Collier, Bishop, Jones, Rankell, and Yate families, and several 17th- and 18th-century successors had cloth or blankets warehoused there. In the 1670s weekly carts brought raw wool from the capital and returned with Witney duffields and blankets, some of them for sale on the domestic market; by then, however, Witney manufacturers had also established markets in Africa and North America, presumably exporting primarily through London. Red- and blue-dyed blankets and duffields were traded for beaver-skins with the native Americans of Virginia and New England, who wore them as loose coats, and the establishment in 1670 of the Hudson Bay Company increased export opportunities: the Company ordered pairs of Oxfordshire (presumably Witney) blankets in 1681, although Witney manufacturers seem not to have forged strong links with the Company before the 1730s. Trade with Africa is implied in a petition by Witney clothiers in 1694 on behalf of the Royal African Company, complaining that threats to the Company's monopoly were damaging local industry

--- In 1501, under the will of his mother, Fermor received £100 and more property in Oxfordshire. He followed his father and grandfather into the wool trade and by 1505 had become a merchant of the staple.

Keeper of woods within Rockingham forest, Northants. Apr 1554; j.p. Northants. by 1556-64 or later; sheriff 1557-8.
--- In common with his Vaux kin Fermor remained a Catholic and it was only under Mary that he cut any figure in public life. He probably took his stand for her during the brief conflict in Northamptonshire over the succession, as his brother-in-law Sir John Mordaunt did in East Anglia, and so earned the knighthood which he received on the morrow of the coronation. It was, too, his Protestant cousin Sir Nicholas Throckmorton whom he replaced as senior knight of the shire in the first Parliament of the reign; not surprisingly, he neither ‘stood for the true religion’ on this occasion against the government's first measures towards restoring Catholicism nor opposed one of its bills in 1555. Brought on to the commission of the peace and granted several local offices, in the last year of the reign he was pricked sheriff: in this capacity he corresponded with the Privy Council about the surety to be taken from subsidy collectors. Under Elizabeth his religious conservatism told against him and he may have been removed from the bench after his inclusion, in the report of 1564 on the attitudes of the local justices, among ‘great letters [hinderers] of religion’.
--- Fermor's main interest throughout his life was his estates. These were augmented in 1556 by the Northamptonshire property of his uncle William, whose Oxfordshire lands, however, passed to Fermor's younger brother Thomas. Fermor appears as an enterprising, indeed grasping, landowner. There had been trouble with neighbours over disputed property in Easton Neston before his father's death, and when the matter went to arbitration he rejected the decision that he should retain the lands in question but give others in compensation, and persuaded his mother to refuse her consent. He was unscrupulous in his attempts to evict tenants of whom he disapproved, some of them probably because they had been given leases when the property was in the King's hands. Early in Elizabeth's reign he purchased the manor of Towcester, Northamptonshire, from Laurence Eaton, and other properties there of which one was later claimed by plaintiffs on the ground of defective title. At the same time as he acquired the hundred of Wimersley he broke the entail on his Dorset and Somerset lands in order to create life tenures. When his heir George married in 1570 Fermor conveyed his lands to William, 3rd Lord Vaux of Harrowden, Sir Walter Mildmay and others in order to entail the bulk of them and to make provision for his younger children. He died on to Dec 1571 and was buried at Easton Neston. George Fermor had licence to enter on 17 Jun 1572.

[taken from internet;
Easton Neston was formerly a village which like a number of those in Northamptonshire, depopulated by the wealthy to make room for their flocks of sheep. In this case the
offending lord was Sir Richard Fermor, Father in law to a more well known destroyer of villages, Sir Richard Knightley of Fawsley.
This depopulation had taken place by the reign of Henry VIII as when the manor was surveyed in his reign, little remained of the medieval village, save the manor, the church, the mills and the fields and probably a few cottages for estate workers.
The village was about 11/2 miles North east of Towcester. ]

BIO
First son of Sir Arthur Darcy. Educated Inner Temple, adm. 16 Jan 1556. Married first Catherine (d. 1567), dau. and heiress of Sir Robert Tyrwhitt of Leighton Bromswold, s.p.; Married second Catherine, dau. of Sir John Fermor of Easton Neston, Northants., widow of Michael Pulteney (d. 1567) of Misterton, Leics., by whom he had one dau. Succeeded family 3 Apr 1561. Kntd. 21 Aug 1565. Jt. (with fa.) constable, Conisbrough castle, Yorks. 1556; sheriff, Cambs. and Hunts. 1562-3, 1583-4; j.p.q.

Elizabeth.
Darcy, who was no more than 19 at the time, must have owed his return for the duchy of Lancaster borough of Knaresborough to his father, a younger son of Thomas, Lord Darcy and a royal servant who held or had held a number of duchy offices. Lord Darcy himself had once been constable and steward of Knaresborough.
On 25 Jul 1557 Darcy was committed to the Fleet for brawling, and a week later, he was bound with Thomas Hussey to keep the peace. Hussey was friendly with the Fermors, a family with which the Darcys were also connected before Darcy married into it: in Jul 1532 Sir Arthur Darcy, Sir John Dudley, Richard Rich and Richard Fermor had stood surety for a loan made by the King to Sir Edward Seymour.
Darcy was to inherit a large estate in Yorkshire and elsewhere from his father, but on his first marriage he settled in Huntingdonshire and disposed of much of his Yorkshire property. It is not known when he died but his name last appears on the commission of the peace during 1592/1593.

--- The Worshams were a much more prominent family in the community than the Rowletts had been, so this marriage was an important step in raising the standing of the family.
--- William Rowlett: Child of Peter born about 1670 if he was the older of Peter's two sons and about 1676 if he was the younger (as nearly everyone assumes); possibly apprenticed as a teenager to John Sherman; inherited, in 1702, 200 acres at the mouth of the Great Branch of Old Town Creek; married, in 1703, Frances Worsham, daughter of former county sheriff John Worsham (d. 1729) and his wife Phoebe; patented, in 1730, 300 acres on Winterpock Creek in southwestern Chesterfield and 400 acres on Beaver Pond Branch in neighboring Amelia County (then part of Prince George County);
--- In 1724 the vestry appointed William Rowlett and Abraham Burton as counters of the tobacco crop for the precinct between Old Town Creek and Swift Creek. In 1725, William was appointed to the same task, this time with William Chambers.
--- William listed no daughters in his will, but a reference to "all my children" suggests he may have been survived by daughters as well as sons. John Pride, Jr., and his wife Frances had a son named Rowlett Pride; it seems very likely she was a daughter of William .
--- Genealogists of the Stiles family have claimed that William had a daughter Mary Rowlett or Mary Traylor Rowlett who married William Stiles. In fact, it was Mary A Rowlett, daughter of William 's brother Peter Rowlett, who probably married William Stiles.

Most documents mention Nancy as his wife, but that is his second wife they refer to since all such documents are after his death. The numerous documents that mention Nancy are because the children apparently disliked step-mother and she had to fight in court for her young son's portion of the inheritance and her dower.

--- Captain William Dix, Lieutenant David Hunt and Ensign Clement McDaniel commanded a company which marched from Pittsylvania in August and numbered among its members Lewis Haley, Isham Farmer, John Neal, John Smith, Avory Mustein and William Jeffress. These men were present on that memorable day at Yorktown, October 19th, and witnessed the surrender of the British Army to General Washington. Clement, Maud Carter.

--- He was a farmer, and served in the Revolution (from Halifax Co, VA). He fought in the Battle of Germantown, and was at the siege of Yorktown

-- Isham Farmer served in the Revolution from Virginia. He was born about 1751, the son of Benjamin Farmer of Lunenburg County. After service in various Virginia units during the War, he became a resident of Pittsylvania County. He was married to Elizabeth Johnson, and they were parents of a large family. His wife died in Virginia in 1841, and Isham Farmer and an unmarried daughter then came Noxubee County, Miss. to join his son Absolom Farmer who had settled in Noxubee about 1833. He deeded what personal property he had to son Absolom, with the provision that Absolom was to give him and his daughter maintenance the remainder of their lives.
Isham Farmer died in Noxubee County probably early in 1847, for on April 5, 1847, letters of Administration were issued to Anderson W. Dabney, whose bond was also signed by Absolom Farmer. Absolom Farmer lived about five miles west of Brooksville, and there was a family cemetery on the property. This has now been lost and no trace of the marker once known to be there can now be found. In all probability Isham Farmer was buried there. A Memorial marker has been applied for by a descendant, Mrs. Bebe Fant Slater, to be placed in the Farmer lot in Brooksville cemetery.
The estate papers on file in the Chancery Clerk's office, Noxubee County, File no. 555, show the following heirs of Isham Farmer; Absolom and Anna Farmer, Noxubee Co., Miss. Mary Echols of Marshall Co., Miss, Sarah Echols of DeSota Co., Miss. Nancy Hendricks, William Farmer, heirs of Frances Wade, heirs of Susan Hoskins, all of the state of Tennessee, heirs of Stephen Farmer of the state of Missouri, and Patsy Thompson, Johnson Farmer and the heirs of Pleasant Farmer, all of the state of Virginia.
