This section is reserved for later-life child evidence. No later spouse, death, burial, obituary, probate, separate household, or descendant-line identification has been added here yet from direct records.

Research Notes

• Original 1900 image review and full citation extraction for HH#167, including the exact reading of Kid's given name.
• Marriage record for Kid Palmer and Julia, including Kid/Kidd/Kitt/Henry and Palmer/Palmore variants.
• Death, burial, probate, cemetery, or later census evidence for Kid after 1910 and Julia after 1920.
• Proof for or against the Ben Palmer New Orleans candidate, especially a Louisiana death certificate, SS-5/claims file, city-directory sequence, obituary, or cemetery record.
• Parent or origin evidence linking Georgia Palmer Edwards, Earnest Palmer, or Elonzo/Alonzo Palmer to the 1900 household after they left Julia's home.
• Parent-identifying records for Marie/Menie Davis, Rosa Davis, and Jim P. Grant before connecting them to a specific child of Julia Palmer.

Open Research Questions

• Resolve the open items flagged in Research Notes above with direct records before expanding this household narrative.

Research Status

• Status: Source-Researched / not source-exhausted.
• Strengths: The household has solid 1900, 1910, and 1920 census anchors. The 1910 and 1920 relationship columns have now been checked from saved images, correcting Earnest Palmer to brother and Edd Thomas to boarder, and confirming the Davis/Grant children as Julia's grandsons.
• Remaining cautions: No marriage, death, burial, or probate record has been found for Kid or Julia. The adult trails for Elonzo, Georgia, Ben, Earnest, and the Davis/Grant grandsons are supported only by candidate records or partial matches. The Kid age conflict between 1900 and 1910 remains unresolved.
