Wiliam Palmer

That William(1) Palmer Sr of Plymouth and Duxbury was son of John Palmer and Elizabeth Verney born 1585. Closer examination of that record (per research commissioned by Carlton J. Palmer, Jr.) indicates their son William DIED on that date.[1] See also The Colonial Genealogist, XII:3, page 115.

notes

ELIZABETH VERNEY (c.1558-March 1592)

Elizabeth Verney, although said in some genealogies to have been the daughter of Sir Henry Verney and have had Queen Elizabeth as her godmother, was in fact the daughter of Hugh Verney of Fairfield, Somerset. Her first husband was William Palmer of Parham, Sussex (c.1554-December 24, 1586). Although numerous other children are listed online, they had only four: Thomas, (June 24, 1574-c.1605), Catherine (1579-September 30, 1609), William (1583-April 1585), and Sarah (1586/7-1633). Elizabeth was never married to John Palmer, younger brother of her first husband.
