Note: No death or burial record has been found for George, though he lived and likely died on his property in present-day North Kingstown, RI, just east of the intersection of US 1 and Rte 138. The birth year is a crude approximation based on his being an adult in 1654, and the death year is a crude approximation based on his being alive in 1671, but dead by 1686.
The following primarily comes from G. Andrews Moriarty's updates and corrections to Austin's Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island found in The American Genealogist, v. 20, p 53 (July 1943).
George Palmer was married 30 Sep 1662 to Bethia MOWRY, baptized Salem, Mass. 17 June 1638, living in 1686, the daughter of Roger Mowry and Mary Johnson of Salem, Mass. and Providence, RI. He was possibly a kinsman of another George Palmer, wine cooper, of Ipswich, Boston, and Kittery. The subject George was a freeman at Warwick, RI on 18 June 1654, and a grantee there 19 Sep 1654. In 1656 he was mentioned in a letter written by Roger Williams. He was a grantee at Providence 27 April 1659, and called of that place in a deed dated 27:7:1662 (27 Sep 1662).
While living in Providence, he bought land at "Aquednesset" (Quidnessett, now in northern North Kingstown) on 27 Jan 1660/1, and took the oath of allegiance at Kingstowne 19 May 1671. The colonies of Connecticut and Rhode Island both laid claim to the Narragansett lands (now Washington Co., RI), and on 3 July 1663 Palmer signed a petition as an inhabitant of Narragansett in favor of Connecticut having jurisdiction of the land. He operated the grist mill on the Mattatuxet River, and on 30 Nov 1686, after his death, his widow Bethia had possession of the land there. Children:
* Hannah, b. 10 Oct 1663, m. c. 1681 Nicholas GARDNER, son of George Gardiner and Herodias Long of Newport, RI.
* Deliverance, b. c. 1665, d. Canterbury, CT 7 June 1717, m. Edward CLEVELAND of Kingstowne and Exeter, RI, and Caterbury and Pomfret, CT, b. Woburn, Mass. 20 May 1663, d. Pomfret, CT 26 Aug 1746, the son of Moses Cleveland and Anne Winn of Woburn, Mass. Their ten children were Deliverence, Edward, Rebecca, Palmer, Isaac, Samuel, Mary, George, Elizabeth, and Abigail. The Cleveland genealogy, published in 1899, says the father of Deliverance Palmer was Benjamin Palmer, son of the immigrant Walter Palmer. G. Andrews Moriarty, in 1943, says she was the daughter of George Palmer. Deliverance's association with Rhode Island makes George Palmer the much more likely candidate for her father.
