December 1978
SOME REVOLUTIONARY WAR SOLDIERS MADE NOXUBEE COUNTY THEIR LAST HOME.
ISHAM FARMER served in the Revolution from Virginia. He was born about 1751, the son of Benjamin Farmer of Lunenburg County. After service in various Virginia units during the War, he became a resident of Pittsylvania County. He was married to Elizabeth Johnson, and they were parents of a large family. His wife died in Virginia in 1841, and Isham Farmer and an unmarried
daughter then came Noxubee County, Miss. to join his son Absolom Farmer who had settled in Noxubee about 1833. He deeded what personal property he had to son Absolom, with the provision that Absolom was to give him and his daughter maintenance the remainder of their lives.
Isham Farmer died in Noxubee County probably early in 1847, for on April 5, 1847, letters of Administration were issued to Anderson W. Dabney, whose bond was also signed by Absolom Farmer. Absolom Farmer lived about five miles west of Brooksville, and there was a family cemetery on the property. This has now been lost and no trace of the marker once known to be there can now be found. In all probability Isham Farmer was buried there. A Memorial marker has been applied for by a descendant, Mrs. Bebe Fant Slater, to be placed in the Farmer lot in Brooksville cemetery.
The estate papers on file in the Chancery Clerk's office, Noxubee County, File no. 555, show the following heirs of Isham Farmer; Absolom and Anna Farmer, Noxubee Co., Miss. Mary Echols of Marshall Co., Miss, Sarah Echols of DeSota Co., Miss. Nancy Hendricks, William Farmer, heirs of Frances Wade, heirs of Susan Hoskins, all of the state of Tennessee, heirs of Stephen Farmer of the state of Missouri, and Patsy Thompson, Johnson Farmer and the heirs of Pleasant Farmer, all of the state of Virginia.367
