Biography

Dorothy Palmer, born 2 Mar 1739/40 at Stonington, Connecticut. She was the fourth child of Abijah Palmer and his first wife Dorothy Palmer of Stonington, Connecticut.

Note: Wheeler published the birth date of this Dorothy Palmer as 02 Mar 1741, however her mother died 10 Mar 1740, one week following her birth, so the discrepancy should be noted as a probable error by Wheeler.
