PALMER, Sir Thomas (by 1498-1544), of Pollicott, Bucks. and London. b. by 1498, 15 prob. 3rd s. of John Palmer of Angmering Suss. by Isabel, da. and h. of Edward Bitton of Suss. Kntd. by 1522.

This Sir Thomas Palmer, one of the Palmers of Angmering, Sussex, was perhaps a younger son of John Palmer and thus uncle to the knight porter (Sir Thomas Palmer) and to his brothers John (Sir John Palmer, of Angmering) and Sir Henry Palmer (Sir Henry Palmer): his kinship with them is reflected in the grant to Henry Palmer in 1527 of the reversion of the manor of Pollicott, Buckinghamshire, which Thomas had acquired in May 1522.

The implication that the recipient died within a year of the date mentioned is borne out by a grant of the reversion of Pollicott, dated 6 June 1544, in which he is described as dead; as his brother Robert Palmer, making his will in May 1544, had forgiven him a debt of £140, we may with some confidence place the death at the end of May or the beginning of June 1544.
