Note (from the Wildey source material- below):

Elizabeth was called Ann to distinguish her from her mother according to Fred Carlisle, secretary of the Historical Society of Detroit, Michigan. His source was Emily Leavitt's "Palmer Groups", page 15, published 1901.

However, the Smith and Brewster names are not confirmed and many researche rs do not even acknowledge her given name, Elizabeth.

Dispute Over Name

: This profile is a combination of Anne Elizabeth Cheeseborough and Elizabeth Ann Smith, While neither name is found in historical records, it is concluded that Walter Palmer had two wives (there is no record of the first, although they had five children). Anne is often found in User Submitted Trees and Elizabeth Ann is often put forward also as his first wife. Only Rebecca Short, his second wife, married to Walter in 1633 is a Historically accurate name.

Facts

The two eldest children of Walter Palmer, Grace and John, were certainly born in the middle years of the second decade of the seventeenth century. For the next three children, Elizabeth, William and John, the chronological evidence is not so helpful. All three of them could be ten years younger than the estimates given here without contradicting anything we know about them. Were this the case, a large gap would open up between the birth dates of the second and third of Walter's children, suggesting that he may have had two wives in England rather than one. For the sake of simplicity, and pending further evidence, we choose here the solution which gives Walter only two wives in all. (Emphasis added)

The Great Migration Begins.

Death

: Great Migration Begins gives only "by 1633" as the date of death forthe first wife of Walter Palmer. Since there are no known children from this marrige after 1621, it is possible she died in England, beforeWalter migrated in 1629. Records for her immigration are unknown. Hissecond marriage was about 1633. <ref name="GMB"/>
