I do not have the details but, William Randolph Palmore was apparently abandoned by his father John Randolph Palmore.Both his grandfather Benjamin Palmore and his great grandfather Thomas Montague granted him a direct legacy in their wills. He moved to Perry County, Alabama with his uncle John Daniel around 1845. John Daniel may have also married a Win(g)field. William Palmore is listed in the 1860 census of Perry County with a wife Martha, a son Edwardage 4 and a son Hartwell age 2. His occupation is shown in that census as merchant.He also had a son named William Robert Palmore. Both he and his wife Martha Winfield Palmore are buried in the Oakwood Cemetery of Tyler, Texas. William died in 1900 and Martha died in 1923.
