3. JOHN2
FARMER (MICHAEL1) was born 1765, and died Aft. 1853 in
Grainger, TN. He married ELIZABETH
BLAKELY (Source:
sS, Date of Import: Jul 28, 1999.) September 10, 1801 in Grayson Co., VA
(Source: grayson Co., Virginia Marriages
1793-1836.), daughter of ?AQUILLA
BLAKELEY and UNKNOWN.
Notes for JOHN FARMER:
John Farmer moved to Grainger Co., Tennessee about 1811-1812.
He sold 167 acres of land in 1827 to brother William.
-----
John was likely the third son of old Michael. There is a marriage in the Grayson records for John Farmer and Elizabeth Blakeley under date of Sep. 10, 1801; it is probably his, and the bride was likely a relative of Aquilla Blakely who was a surveyor of the road and constable on Crooked Creek.
John bought fifty acres on Glade Creek in 1810 but sold it in 1813 by an unrecorded deed which his wife Elizabeth signed with him. He seems to have left the county the next year. When he sold his inheritance in 1827 (Grayson, D.B. 5-345) the deed indicated that he lived in Grayson County, Tennessee. Although there is no such county, it is likely that he had moved on to Tennessee.

Notes for MICHAEL FARMER, JR.:
Michael was the son of the first Michael Farmer who was the first of the family here. I have always suspected that Ailcy, his wife, was a daughter of Richard and Elizabeth (Adkins) Shockley. They had a family of some thirteen children, raised on Glade Creek. Michael died in 1853 and Ailcy in 1858. They prospered and gave each of his eight sons a farm.
