I would estimate that the picture was made sometime in the 1930's. These might be veterans of WWI.

Comments:	My name is Kameron Searle and I am a desecendant of Martin Parmer.  Louisa Liles, wife of William Physick Zuber, was a Palmer.  She was Martin Parmer's granddaughter.  All of William and Louisa's children would be descendants of Martin Parmer.   The purpose of this e-mail is to invite you and all living descendants of William Physick Zuber and Louisa Liles to the Palmer/Parmer Family Reunion which will be held at Washington-on-theBrazos State Park, March 29, 2003.  Please see our Web Page for more details about the reunion.  This page is under construction at http://martinparmer.tripod.com      We are making an all out search for all of the descendants of Martin Parmer and his four wives.  Please correct me if I am wrong.  Martin Parmer and his first wife, Sarah Hardwick Parmer, had a daughter named Charlotte.  Charlotte Parmer (sometimes spelled Palmer)married William Liles.  William and Charlotte Liles daughter, Louisa Liles, married William Physick Zuber.  Louisa and William Zuber had six children, I believe.   We are trying to get good names and addresses of the descendants of Zuber's six children.  Can you help?  Do you have any names and addresses you can pass along?  We are about to conduct our mail-out with reunion information.   Martin Parmer was born Martin Palmer in Virginia.  As a grown man he changed the spelling to Parmer.  He lived in Kentucky, Tennessee and then on the frontier of Missouri for years before it was a State.  When Missouri became a State, Martin Parmer was elected to the first General Assembly (Legislature) in 1821 and later to the Missouri State Senate in 1824.  In 1825, he came to Texas.  The next year he instigated the Fredonian Rebellion, an early attempt to declare Texas independent from Mexico.  The Rebellion failed and Parmer  managed to receive a Mexican Land Grant using the Palmer spelling of his name in 1835.   In that same year Martin Parmer was a delegate to the Consultation at San Felipe where he was elected to the General Council of the Provisional Government of Texas.  In 1836, Martin Parmer was elected as a delegate to the Convention at Washington on the Brazos where he signed the Texas Declaration  of Independence from Mexico.  Parmer was also Chairman of the Committee that drafted the Constitution of the Republic of Texas.  In 1839, President Lamar appointed him Chief Justice of Jasper County, Texas.  Parmer died in 1850.  In 1936, his body was removed to the State Cemetery in Austin Texas.  Parmer County in the Texas Panhandle is named for Martin Parmer.   The reunion is open to all descendants of Martin Parmer.  We hope to see you there.   Kameron Searle Co-chairman Palmer/Parmer Family Reunion   W# 713-627-0770 H# 281-398-8871    My home address:   Kameron and Marisa Searle 21410 Park York  Katy, Texas 77450    My work address:   Kameron K.

Comments:	I am particularly interested in records showing when and why my great grandfather, David Strain (or Strange) first surfaced in Grimes County. His death certificate reveals he was born in West Virginia in 1857. He died 1933 in Bryan, Brazos County TX. I believe he was born in Greenbrier County, West Virginia.

Comments:	My name is Kameron Searle and I am a desecendant of Martin Parmer.  Louisa Liles, wife of William Physick Zuber, was a Palmer.  She was Martin Parmer's granddaughter.  All of William and Louisa's children would be descendants of Martin Parmer.   The purpose of this e-mail is to invite you and all living descendants of William Physick Zuber and Lousia Liles to the Palmer/Parmer Family Reunion which will be held in Huntsville, Texas, March 31, 2001.  Please see our Web Page for more details about the reunion.  This page is under construction at http://freeweb.pdq.net/ksearle1  .    We are making an all out search for all of the descendants of Martin Parmer and his four wives.  Please correct me if I am wrong.  Martin Parmer and his first wife, Sarah Hardwick Parmer, had a daughter named Charlotte.  Charlotte Parmer (sometimes spelled Palmer)married William Liles.  William and Charlotte Liles daughter, Louisa Liles, married William Physick Zuber.  Louisa and William Zuber had six children, I believe.   We are trying to get good names and addresses of the descendants of Zuber's six children.  Can you help?  Do you have any names and addresses you can pass along?  We are about to conduct our second mail-out with reunion information.   Martin Parmer was born Martin Palmer in Virginia.  As a grown man he changed the spelling to Parmer.  He lived in Kentucky, Tennessee and then on the frontier of Missouri for years before it was a State.  When Missouri became a State, Martin Parmer was elected to the first General Assembly (Legislature) in 1821 and later to the Missouri State Senate in 1824.  In 1825, he came to Texas.  The next year he instigated the Fredonian Rebellion, an early attempt to declare Texas independent from Mexico.  The Rebellion failed and Parmer  managed to receive a Mexican Land Grant using the Palmer spelling of his name in 1835.   In that same year Martin Parmer was a delegate to the Consultation at San Felipe where he was elected to the General Council of the Provisional Government of Texas.  In 1836, Martin Parmer was elected as a delegate to the Convention at Washington on the Brazos where he signed the Texas Declaration  of Independence from Mexico.  Parmer was also Chairman of the Committee that drafted the Constitution of the Republic of Texas.  In 1839, President Lamar appointed him Chief Justice of Jasper County, Texas.  Parmer died in 1850.  In 1936, his body was removed to the State Cemetery in Austin Texas.  Parmer County in the Texas Panhandle is named for Martin Parmer.   The reunion is open to all descendants of Martin Parmer.  We hope to see you there.   Kameron Searle Co-chairman Palmer/Parmer Family Reunion   W# 713-627-0770 H# 281-398-8871    My home address:   Kameron and Marisa Searle 21410 Park York  Katy, Texas 77450    My work address:   Kameron K.
