It appears that Iberia, Stark Township, Brown Co. MN was one of the earliest
settlements in Brown Co. MN. The Pioneers settled along the big Cottonwood River.
It appears that the Cemetery Nathan Jr and other relatives
are buried at is one of the oldest in Brown Co. MN. It appears that after
much community citizen concern over the lack of upkeep of the cemetery in the
1970's that the Brown County Historical Society possibly took on some of the
responsibilities of the Oak Ridge Iberia Cemetery. ( this data compiled
from numerous sites including the Sleepy Eye News.com 9/27/14, a Brown Co. site,
others.) No cemetery burial records found for Oak Ridge Cemetery online thus far.

Family Tree Genealogy on LDS Family Search and others site Nathan passed away in Iberia Mn which was a small community within Stark Brown Co. MN where he lived. Parents Nathan Farmer and Hannah Woodard. Born in Surry N.Carolina. Family Search Genealogy site also refers to Sarah Westerfield Banfill being a Widow before marrying Nathan Jr. Sarah was Widow of Enoch Banfill. ( Nathan Jr . a Widower when remarried.) They site Sarah and Nathan Jr. as having 6 children. Not all names and info listed.

Spouse:
** Sarah Westerfield Banfill Farmer **
DOB. abt 1801 - Kentucky
DOD. abt 1888 - Phillips, Kansas
(some family trees site different dobs,dods and place birth of Ohio)

to note:
Unknown where Sarah is buried. If Sarah passed away in Phillips Kansas
while staying with daughter Serena Farmer Serfoss and her family, there are
Serfoss Family buried at the Pleasant View Cemetery in Logan, Phillips Co. Kansas.
Serena's Family moved to Colorado by 1900 Census. Sarah could also be buried
in MN near Nathan Jr. and Sanford and does not or no longer has a headstone. There
was no Headstone found for Sarah at the Iberia Cemetery. Much difficulty getting
either cemetery burial records. Research in progress.

Some family tree entries 1828 dod, Ohio. dod 1830 Indiana appears most accurate

Elizabeth married Nathan Farmer Jr. 1820. Elizabeth passed away 1830 per Family
Search Pedigree in Warren Co. Indiana. The site has Elizabeth and Nathan Jr.
moving to Warren Indiana in 1829 prior to Elizabeth passing away (unexpectedly
of illness). There is a Memorial for an Elizabeth Farmer in Warren Co.
Indiana with no information for dob, dod Dec. 1830. This may likely be Elizabeth's
Memorial. Elizabeth passed away in Warren Co. Indiana, same dod as in some records.
Nathan Jr. has other relatives at the same cemetery. The Memorial bio included that the
Tombstone was worn. It was not readable. The cemetery should have records.
Per Nathan's Biography, Nathan Jr. and Elizabeth had moved to Warren Co. Indiana.
Nathan Jr. returned to Ohio after Spouse Elizabeth passed away as his Mother Hannah had also
passed away. ( in Ohio?)

Family data on different family tree sites including on Ancestry.com
varies, including for dates, place of death. ( Ohio vs Indiana)

Catherine Runny Rodabaugh as Elizabeth's Parents and Elizabeth
marrying Nathan Farmer. Also site Elizabeth as being born in 1799 in

It was documented in Ohio Biography that Nathan Jr. had five children with Elizabeth and there were four children sometime after approx. 1829. They had moved to Indiana where Elizabeth passed away. Nathan returned to Ohio after Elizabeth passed away. Nathan's Father had a farm in Montgomery Ohio. It appears that Nathan's Beloved Mother Hannah
who was living in Ohio living in Ohio, per his Ohio Biography, passed away around the same
time as his Beloved Spouse Elizabeth.

Nathan's Biography information is published in the Commemorative Biographical Records of Northwestern Ohio. It includes Defiance, Henry, Williams and Fulton Counties. Published at Chicago: JH Beers Co. 1899. Available at the libraries and Counties in Ohio.

Nathan's impressive Biography excerpts are online via the Farmer Defiance Ohio
section on the Ohio Genealogy Express.com website. The Biography
includes much about Nathan's Family, his life, his Son Enoch and other
Family Members. Some dates don't match other data, but much good info.
They site many accomplishments about this family. Included is
describing Nathan Jr. Farmer as " A Pioneer in 5 states, a Man with
Rugged Strength, of iron and steady nerve ".. and more about his rifles
and hunting. (Ohio,Iowa,Indiana, MN sited)

Nathan Jr.'s Paternal Grand Father and Grand Mother passed away in Surry County North Carolina. per Biography. Nathan Jr's Mother Hannah Woodard Farmer may have passed away in Ohio. Nathan Sr. passed away about a year later while staying with a daughter in Indiana. It appears Nathan Sr.'s Fathers Family had immigrated from England to North Carolina. His Mothers Family had immigrated from Germany.

Nathan Jr.'s Father:
** Nathan Farmer Sr. **
May 17, 1749 - Jan. 3, 1836

Some Family History to be edited and verified for accuracy.
There appear to be many persons names of Nathan Farmer from Nathan's
era. There is much conflicting data regarding which Nathan Farmer is Nathan
Farmer Jr's Father on different Family Trees. Nathan's Father's name
was referred to as Nathan Farmer in the Ohio Biography and there
is info sited about him in the Ohio Biography. The Census Reports from
that era seen by writer do not include individual names for around 1800.
Not known if his given name was Nathaniel.

It appears Nathan Jr, his Parents, Brother Levi, Sister Catherine, others are sited on Ancestry.com. in many Family Trees. It has Levi's dob 1790- 1853. born in Ohio, passed away in Indiana. Levi's Spouse was Margaret. It has Parents Nathan Farmer Sr. with different, but close info 1753- 1838, Hannah Woodard Farmer's dob as approx. 1768. It has Margaret as dob 1792 and their 7 children as Keziah, Edwin, Margaret, Anna, Levi, Jacob, Edwin and Nathan. There may be many Levi Farmers, but the above does include Hannah Woodard Farmer.
Nathan Farmer Sr. is referred to as Nathan Farmer Sr., but his dob & dob match
the Memorial info for Nathaniel Farmer, not the Memorial for Nathan Farmer with
same Family info in Bio.

There are many references to Levi Farmer Sr. online.
There is a reference of a Levi Farmer in Carroll Indiana, son of Nathaniel Farmer who
donated land for a cemetery in Carroll Indiana. This Levi was also referred to as Levi Sr.
referring to the Father Nathaniel Farmer being buried and relocating him due to citizens
finding out his honorary status as serving in the American Revolution War. The name of
the Cemetery from land donated later by Levi is Farmer Watson Stanley Cemetery. It
appears his father Nathaniel was moved before the land was donated that later
became the Farmer Cemetery. Per that info, they referred to Nathaniel Farmer
having a Son Nathan. This needs clarification.
--

Farmer Cemetery: Indiana
( There appear to be many Cemeteries with Farmer name in USA)

Farmer Watson Stanley Cemetery
Washington Township, Carroll Indiana
Named after Levi Farmer Sr. initially

It is very small, very remote per Findagrave description. The Findagrave Volunteer who entered the information onto Findagrave for the Farmer Watson Stanley Cemetery has a better description. He described Levi Sr, named Levi's Father as Nathaniel C. Farmer. There are Findagrave Memorials for Family buried at this cemetery. Levi's name and Nathan Sr.'s Names are not on those Memorials. There appears to be a connection here as Nathan Farmer Sr. was per two biographies an notable gunsmith during the Revolutionary War. with a Son Levi. Our Family member Levi has a Son Levi. Writer found a reference for them searching for Nathan Sr. and Levi, but the dates didn't match.... may be just a big coincidence.... The two Biographies referred to in Nathan Jr's Memorial state the same information about Nathan Sr. Our Family Member Nathan Sr. is buried in Wayne Indiana. Per his Findagrave Memorial. This Cemetery is called the West River Friends Cemetery..The Levi related to our Family was living in Indiana at that time too.

There are references on some Family Trees that Levi is buried at the Farmer Cemetery
above. Levi's Son Edom possibly has a Memorial for that Cemetery, Levi does not.

The Nathan Farmer Memorial that Nathan Jr is linked to has the
correct Parents names for our Nathan. Both of the Biographies referred to our Family's Nathan as Nathan.
It could be a coincidence regarding any connections to the above. Nathaniel C. Farmer's bio as being in the Revolutionary War matches history for Nathan Jr's Father Nathan. Other references found regarding Nathaniel C. Farmer being a gunsmith at that time matches information
found for Nathan Farmer Sr. elsewhere.

( All to be edited if confirmed or ruled out if
this is same Levi & Nathan Farmer Sr. in Nathan Farmer Jr's Family)

Some of the information has confirmed, some has not.

This site has Nathan Sr. as being born 1764 in Surry NC. It has him passing away Dec. 11, 1836 in Dalton Wayne Co. Indiana. The location of his death and dod of 1836 match the Memorial we have linked for Nathan Jr's Father. the dob does not match. The dob for the Memorial we linked, that includes Nathan's Parents names and same family information has 1749 dob for Nathan Sr. Except for dob, all else per the Memorial bio is the same Family information. We linked Nathan Jr. to this Memorial as it does include accurate Family history information in Nathan Sr.'s Memorial bio for our Nathan Jr. Farmer Family.

The children listed for Nathan Sr. are Nathan - same dates for our Nathan Jr, Levi Farmer 1790 - 1853 and Catherine Farmer Davis 1787- 1887 married to Joseph Davis. Some of the dates are off by a year. Our Nathan Jr. is exact. The dates for Nathan Sr. Farmer are the same as the Memorial for Nathaniel C. Farmer. (1753- 1838). Our Nathan Jr is linked to Nathan Farmer with Nathan spelling 1749 - 1836 with our Nathan's Family info in the bio. Both buried in Indiana. For Nathan Sr and for Nathan Jr, not all the children are listed. It does confirm that the Catherine Davis we asked to link is Nathan Jr's Sister. Levi Sr. is Nathan Jr's Brother. Adam Farmer 1820 - 1896 close to Memorial dates is Nathan Jr's Son. It has Robert Boyce for Belinda's Spouse, not Bayes as confirmed. The Family is found in an incredible amount of Family Trees. Not all the information is accurate when cross referenced. There is much good info. There was no information found on the Family Tree accessed for anything more about Nathan Jr's Son Sanford Farmer.
