[or-roots] Permelia

[Kith-n-Kin]

Well, you all probably knew I'd come up with a Marion County "Abiqua"
connection here:

Susan Gibson, b 1814, m Alfred Turner in 1838. They migrated to Oregon by
1850, from Lincoln County, Missouri. Alfred died on the way to Oregon. Three
children, Permelia Ann (listed as "Familia" on the 1850 census.) who married
William C Miller, Lucinda, who married William Henry Harrison Hales,  and
Louisa, who married Lewis Edgar Armstrong.  In the 1850 census they are
living in the household of Samuel and Sarah Allen, in Abiqua, Marion County.

Susan married Stephen Porter (his second wife) and had two more children,
Josephine, who married Marion Palmer, and Joanna, who married William H H
Sampson. 

Parmelia and Wm Miller had four children, Sarah, Alfred, John Reed, and
Marion Elsworth. 

Unfortunately, I have nothing much on Alfred's family. He, like many of this
group, apparently was born in Lincoln County, Missouri.  A tree at Ancestry
gives his parents as Winslow Turner and Elizabeth ... however, this is
somewhat suspect. 

Susannah appears to be the sister of Randolph C Gibson, another major DLC
owner in Abiqua, also from Lincoln county, Missouri. The Gibsons and Porters
appear to be intermarried in Virginia and Missouri. The Porters, Palmers,
and Gibsons were neighbors in Lincoln County, Missouri.

I also have a "Parmelia" - kin to the Glovers out of Maryland, through
Missouri to Oregon, but no particular Oregon connection - just a different
way of spellign. <G>

McD Wallace only has Pernella that is near Permelia which she says if
Feminine for Peter "the rock"

here's what I found online;

The girl's name Permelia \p(e)-rme-lia, per-melia\ is of Latin origin, and
its meaning is "by sweetness".

Permelia has 2 variant forms: Melia and Parmelia.
