On Jan. 8, 1721/2 he was deeded 14 1/2 A. by William Hubbard of Greenwich, which deed called David his "son-in-law," bounded west by the Bedford Road and south by the land of Samuel Palmer (Vol. 2, p. 394). On Oct. 20, 1742 he deeded 72 A. at Poundridge (Vol. 5, p. 138). On April 15, 1763 David Palmer, late of Greenwich, but now of Old Poundridge, deeded land (Vol. 9, p. 172).

On Aug. 13, 1743, David Palmer of Greenwich deeded to "my son David Palmer Jr. of Greenwich" land that had been received from Simon Ingersoll, bounded east by the Mianus River and north by Tinamony Brook, in Stamford (Vol. D, p. 404). David also deeded land to his son Denham at Deep Brook Ridge on Oct. 23, 1765, and also to his son Titus on Nov. 14, 1766 (Vol. 9, pp. 330 and 433).

His will was dated Feb. 17, 1773, probated June 7, 1774, in which he mentioned his widow Sarah, sons David, James [p. 233] and Denham as having received their portion, sons Enos, Titus and Silas, grandson Silas, son of Silas, grandson Isaac, grandson Robert Stockdell,^[2] son of his daughter Sarah Stewart, also daughters Sarah Stewart, Elizabeth Worden, and Anne Lockwood, widow; the Executor being Bazaleel Brown.
