Lydian Winters

Notes:

Lydian's third marriage was to Clayton Palmer. Lydian and Clayton had nine children, Clifton, Walter, Etta, Joseph, Zora, May, Oscar and Noah.

Lydian also had two children from two previous relationships. Her first affair was with a Andrew Cooper and they had "Cart" (Cooper) Winters. I don't believe they ever married and her son took her maiden name.

Relationship two was to Monroe Hayes. Their son was William Martin Hayes. We found a marriage certificate for this union dated the day after the birth of their son. However, the marriage was short lived. Will Hayes was born in 1878 and Monroe was back living in his parents household in Carter County, TN in the 1880 Census. Will Hayes never had a relationship with his Hayes family during his lifetime. He was primarily raised by his grandparents, Martin Winters and Nancy Hicks Winters, after Lydian's marriage to Clayton Palmer.

Lydian married William Clayton Palmer about 1884. William was born on 14 Feb 1866 in Cherokee County, , , North Carolina; died on 23 Apr 1936 in , Avery County, North Carolina, ; was buried in Palmer Cemetery, , Avery County, North Carolina. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
