Samuel Palmer

The year I am unable to recall, but it was in February Black History Month. The journalist actress Oprah Winfrey had a program out entitled the Slave Narrative. The actor
Samuel Jackson would come on and talk about the Palmer Plantation in Georgia. This was important to me because my father has told me that his great grandfather was half black and half native American from the Creek Nation. this information was important to me because I had assumed that our roots were from Florida.
Years later, I was talking to one of my aunts and stated that my grandfather was not from Florida but was from Georgia.
Sometime around about 1980 I had visited a friend in Rice Borrow Georgia. We went to a Methodist Church that had on its corner stone the last name Palmer. Asking around I met a young lady that had shared the same last name. I told her the story of how no one could tell us where my grandfather came from, just that he had jump off a train in Tuskaloosa, Alabama. He had seen the Hargrove girls and fell in love with one of them. This young lady to whom I had told the story to, said the same just opposite. her Grand Father jump on a train in Georga and was never to be seen again. I wonder?
