 Michael Farmer, Sr. born circa 1750 , died 1824/27 in Grayson County, Virginia, was a pioneer settler of Grayson County.  His lands lay in that sections of Montgomery Co which became Wythe Co in 1789 and Grayson in 1793.
Named in the Personal Property list of Montgomery in 1789, Wythe in 1793 and thereafter in Grayson.

Michael Farmer served in the Virginia Militia and the War of 1812.

My direct line from Isaac FARMER and Nancy EARLY is via their daughter, Virginia E. FARMER, known as Jennie; born abt. 1847 who married Rufus F. HURST, a Civil War veteran.  Their daughter, Alice who was  born about 1866( per census records) is my greatgrandmother.
