Note

Much research has been done to connect Walter to an ancestral fa
mily. Some believe his family was connected to Sir Anthony Palm
er other believe Jonh Palmer of Angmering may be Walter's ances
try. Many records needed for proof have been destroyed or are m
issing and any records discovered have probably disproved any po
ssibilites.
We have recorded a Walter Palmer and Elizabeth Carter as parent
s according to the Walter Palmer Society. And, for interested r
esearchers that continue to link Walter to John Palmer of Angmer
ing famly we have added a "(Place Mark)" connection from John'
s family to the Walter Palmer now considered to be Walter's fath
er.
Walter Palmer,seeking religious freedom sailed from Gravesend, K
ent England with his five children and AbrahamPalmer (believe
d to be his brother) arriving in Salem Massachusetts in June o
f 1629 in the "Four Sisters", one of a fleet of six ships that a
lso included the "Talbot" "Lyons Whelp" "George Bonaventure". "L
yon", and "The Mayflower" (of the 1620 Pilgrimage)>
Walter was called a non-conformist, he had strongreligious conv
ictions which were contrary to the established Church of England
. He felt the Church had erred in continuing with the pageantr
y and formality of the Roman Church instead of returning to th
e simplicity of the earlyChristian Churches as they had been du
ring their first three hundred years.This could be the reaso
n no baptisms of his first five children could be found in Engla
nd.
He initially went to Charlestown, Massachusetts where he was on
e of the first settlers, in 1643 he later moved to Seakonk, Mass
achusetts.
William Chesebrough, Richard Wright of Braintree, Alexander Winc
hester, andWalter Palmer were the founders of Seakonk, and of t
hese Richard Wright wasthe dominant man. Walter Palmer was a c
o-founder of Charlestown, Massachusetts and Stonington,Connectic
ut where a large monument was erected naming William Chesebrough
, Thomas Stanton, Walter Palmer and Thomas Minor. Note: (The cit
y of Seakonk was renamed Rehoboth)
Walter was a large man--it was said he was 6' to 6'5", weighin
g 200 to 300 lbs. He was also a man of high integrity,honesty a
nd ability -- these traits were passed on to his children. Hi
s sons carried on in the same manner, assuming responsibilities
, serving as civicofficers, becoming Church members and some ev
en became deacons of the Church

izabeth Verney married to John and not William Palmer, but wit
h the same children as William
