(Didn't look in Index Book #5 or the other more recent indexes.)

Jim's great-grandfather was John Gottlieb Palm, born in 1829 in Ebingen, Wurttemberg, Germany.  He primarily went by Gottlieb; he had a brother named John Gottfried Palm and a brother named John Lewis Palm.  His first wife was Mary Bartholt.  Mary (b. ca 1831) had a daughter, Mary, born about 1847 (who used the surname Palm), before she married J. Gottlieb Palm.  Mary & Gottlieb Palm's children together were Gottlieb, Lewis, Lillie, Charles, Emma, Ida Ottillie and Caroline Palm.

J. G. Palm who was living in Lima, Allen County, Ohio, in 1860 was a tobbaconist (sp) born in 1818 (age 42) in Pennsylvania. Also in the census with J. G. Palm was wife Mary, age 39, born in Wurtemburg, with children Mary, age 13, born in Ohio, G., male, age 10, S. or L., age 8, female, Sila, female, age 6, and A., female, age 2.  The age and birthplace do not correspond to what is known about Jim's ancestor, J. Gottlieb Palm, although the names/initials are close enough to warrant consideration.

 In 1850 it appeared as though J. Gottlieb Palm was living with his wife, Mary, and possibly his father, Jacob, in Circleville, Pickaway Co., Ohio, where the Palms concentrated after moving to the United States.  Mary's daughter Mary is not in the household.  The couple was listed as "married within the year" on the census; Mary Bartholt and Gottlieb Palm were married in December 1849.

There was also a Gottlieb Palm family living in Crawford Co., Ohio, in 1850.  Did they move from Circleville, or was this another Palm family, or.....?

In 1880 Gottlieb Palm, age 50, is living with his brother as a widower and retired grocer (his obituary stated  he was a grocer/butcher).  Actually Gottlieb returned to Germany after his first wife died and married a cousin, Fannie Palm (Jim's great-grandmother) in 1870.  A marriage record between Gottlieb Palm and Fannie Palm was found in Allen County, Ohio (which is why I thought Jim's ancestor, Gottlieb, lived in Allen Co).  Was there another Gottlieb/Fanny marriage?  Hightly unlikely, but.... .  Most of their children were born in Germany from ca 1872 to 1881 (perhaps Gottlieb came back alone and that was why he was living with his brother as a widower (did someone forget that he remarried?).

If there was another J. G. Palm and family in Allen County in 1860, where were they in 1870, 1880, etc.?
