Biography

Esther Palmer was the sixth listed daughter of Rev. Gershom Palmer & Dorothy (Brown) Palmer, born in 1755 at Preston, Connecticut.

She married 23 Nov 1774 at Voluntown, Connecticut, Jonathan Palmer; they were second cousins. They had 7 or more children, born at Voluntown. This family evidently removed from Voluntown to settle at Bridgewater, New York.

Esther (Palmer) Palmer passed away 14 Jul 1836 at Bridgewater, New York. Her grave is in East Street Cemetery, Bridgewater, Oneida County, New York, USA ^[1].

Note: There is no evidence that this person was married to a Joseph Palmer, hence a prior spousal attachment to this profile was removed.
