"Walter Palmer (1), the progenitor of the family, who first settled in Stonington, Ct., came to New Eng. in 1628 with his brother Abraham Palmer, a merchant of London and nine associates. They went from Salem, Mass. thru a pathless wilderness to a place called by the Indians Mishawan, here they found a man by name of Thomas Walford, a smith. Here they remained until the next year when they were joined by nearly 100 people, who came with Thomas Graves from Salem and laid the foundation of the town, which they named Charlestown in honor of King Charles the Firt, June 24, 1629. It is claimed that Walter Palmer built the first dwelling house in Charlestown, after it was organized as a township, on the two acres of land given him. He met Wm. Cheseborough, who lived at Boston and Braintree and they decided to remove to the Plymouth Colony and joined in organization of town of Rehoboth."
"Walter Palmer was a prominent man when he lived in Mass. and was admitted a freeman May 18, 1831 and held many offices. His friend Cheseborough, not relishing the way and manner in which he was treated by General Court of Plymouth Colony, decided to look farther westward for a permanent place of abode. He visited New London by advice of Jon Winthrop; not satisfied, he started home and on his way came thru the town of Stonington, Conn. where he was so pleased with it, decided to make it his future abode. Mr. Cheseborough described it beautifully and he and his family started a house on west bank of Wequetequrck Creek. Mr. Cheseborough was therefore the English Planter of the town of Stonington."
"The Walter Palmer Farm at the Wequetiwuock Cove. The farm contains 232 acres and is part of the original tract which Walter Palmer gave to his son Nehemiah. On this farm is the ancient burying ground; on it is also the spot where Walter Palmer built his first log house; the excavation can still be seen in the side of the hill. the northern edge of the farm borders on the old mill pond; at the head of the pond can be seen traces of the old sawmill built by Walter and others. The grist mill built 200 years ago is still in operation. May years ago it was purchased ba Mr. Bladwin for $10,000 and since has been known as the Baldwin farm; later purchased by Ira H. Palmer."
