COLEMAN, DEVAUGHN, GOODWIN, SKINNER -
Looking for information on my 4th great grandmother-Adeline Skinner b: abt 1831(somewhere in Virginia). I have no information on her except. She may have ended up in the Georgia area at some point. Because she married one-Carter Coleman -b: abt 1816 in Georgia(4th great grandfather). Then this family moved to the Alabama area, unknown as to the time frame, I'm figuring about the early to mid 1860's, is when her 5th child was born. There children were all born there, or most of them were. There names were-Lizitt b: abt 1847 in Florida, Julia b: abt 1851 in Florida, Henrietta b: abt 1853 in Florida, Nancy b: abt 1855 in Florida, Lola b: abt 1860 Alabama, Edmon b: abt 1862 in Alabama, Johnson b: abt 1863/AL, Peter b: abt 1868/AL and Clinton b: abt 1870/AL. Adeline according to the Alabama deeds book for 1905/1908, had quit a bit of property(both real/personal), in FHL#1536081. She willed some 223 acres to her children and they to there children/grandchildren. Would like to connect with anyone else doing Skinner research as to gain information as to the families place of origin in Virginia and the parents/siblings of my 4th great grandmother-Adeline. Thanks so much for your time in advanced. Surnames- DeVaughn/Skinner/Goodwin/Coleman

COOLEY, PALMER, PARMER -
Charles PARMER (PALMER) b ca 1783 VA. He is on the 1850 census in Holt Co, MO, and may be the same Charles on census records in 1830 Ray Co, MO and 1840 Clay Co, MO. Believe the Clayborn/Claiborne F. PARMER (PALMER) b ca 1807 MO, who appears on many of the same records, is his son.
These men both sell land in Carroll Co, MO in the 1830s as does a George PARMER. I believe George also is a son of Charles. George married Elizabeth Cooley 1837 in Carroll Co, MO, then seems to disappear.
Does this Charles born "somewhere" in VA fit into anyone's family tree?
