Research Notes

"Elizabeth's son Thomas Palmer succeeded as a minor on his mother's death in 1592 and when he died in 1605 his son William was also under age. William died in 1652 and was followed by his brother Peregrine (d. 1684) and by Peregrine's son Nathaniel (d. 1718).

Nathaniel's son Thomas, an antiquary who wrote a history of parts of the county, died without issue in 1734 and his wife Elizabeth, who had held the estate jointly with him, in 1738. Thomas's brother Peregrine succeeded but died without issue in 1762, leaving the estate to his kinsman Arthur Acland in tail male. Arthur died in 1771 and his son John (cr. Bt. 1818 and from then known as Palmer-Acland) in 1831. Sir John's son Sir Peregrine Fuller-PalmerAcland was succeeded in 1871 by his only daughter Isabel (d. 1903), wife of Sir Alexander Fuller-Acland-Hood, Bt. Her son Alexander (cr.
