Biography

Note: Some researchers call Thomas' spouse "Wheeler" and others "Bailey". To date (5/2006) I have not located anything to indicate which, if either it is. There is a will for a Richard Bailey in Rowley that gives a full suit of clothing to Thomas Palmer in 1647, but no mention is made of the relationship, if any.
