We know that Samuel PALMER (William of Hampton) migrated to Bristol in 1790 at the time Charles would have been very young as Charles married in 1810. There is a cemetary where interred are two of his children, Edward C. and George C, nearby the PALMER map site. I am looking for any additional information on this family.
Paul PALMER, now deceased Friendship resident in Dutch Neck, is related to the Shipbuilder PALMERs out of Boston.
There are two others: John of Scituate and William and Judith Freake PALMER lines which lived in the Rockland area. I have just started sorting out.
Any thoughts? Cheers, Would like to hear from any of the above family to share information. Dainel ROLLINS, b. c1866, d. ???, m. 25 Apr 1852 to Margaret G. GREEN.
