Do not confuse with Elizabeth Verney

"Many researchers have incorrectly recorded Walter of Stonington as a son of Sir John and/or William Palmer and Elizabeth Vernai. Some records even show Sir John and William as one person, William John Palmer.
"In reality, William Palmer, I b. 15 Jul 1544 married Elizabeth Vernai and their son William, II, b. 1583 but died April 1585, in his second year, is incorrectly thought to be Walter. ...."

In other words, William (not Walter) son of William (not John) Palmer, who married Elizabeth Vernal (not Verney), was buried (not born) on 18 April 1585. Apparently there "had been" many that misread this record -- and it was quite difficult to read. So submitted pedigrees were backed by a good quality record, but the record had been misunderstood.
