Notes:
John A. Farmer and his brother Osmond (Oss) both served during the Civil War, but on opposite sides. I don’t have any information that they were ever present at the same battle. I can’t help but wonder though, how could they look across the field of battle and not wonder if one of the soldiers facing them from the other side might be their brother?

i have just been informed that john a farmer was my great great great grandfather. my email is h.farmer17@gmail.com
My mother is Anna Hackney. Her father is Linel Hackney the son of Rufus and Rosa F Farmer Hackney mentioned above. My Facebook link is www.facebook.com/kentclarkson.77 Everyone is welcome to send me inquiries. Rosa had 4 daughters Mary Melster, Martha, Annamel, Alma Zel as well as two sons who lived Basil and my papaw Linel. She also had two other boys who died one in child birth if my research is correct and the other was my papaw's twin whose name is Clinard who died around two about a year before Rosa who was said to have died in childbirth with Alma Zel. Shortly after Rufus deserted his children and my papaw was little more than a slave for some time from before the age of 5. Later in life he and most his siblings stayed in touch or I wouldn't know any of this as these poor children are ghosts in the records in trying to connect them to that family. What's worse his father's last name shouldn't have been Hackney as an Owens man sired the unwed Mary Jane Hackney's children including Alexander the father of Rufus. My papaw picked himself up and raised seven children and owned land along with his spouse, my Mamaw Ilene Ward Hackney. Any info is appreciated even conflicting info as most of these threads the few they are aren't correct because of the stories I just explained. Thank you and if we're related send me a friend request. God bless
What is the basis for this Mary (Polly) Mullins having been the daughter of Marshall Mullins + Polly Varner?
I'm asking because she was not enumerated in either their 1850 (Russell County VA) or 1860 (Wise County VA) household.
