First Generation in North Carolina:
Mary PALIN CLARK (1666-1740)
Conventional genealogical wisdom has long held that Mary PALIN was the daughter of Henry Palin Sr. who, in 1663, settled along Newbegun Creek, becoming one of the earliest settlers of the Carolina Colony. However, the 1737 will of Chief Judge John Palin of Pasquotank Precinct stated that Mary Palin (who was twice married and was referred to as Mary Glaister in Judge Palin's will) was the daughter of Thomas Palin, Judge Palin's older brother and one of three surviving sons of Henry Palin Sr. Pasquotank Quaker records tell us that Mary (Palin) Clark Glaister was 74 when she died in 1740. That places her birth date back to 1666 and seems to confirm that Mary was Henry Palin's
granddaughter rather than his daughter.
