[2753] "Medieval English Ancestry of Certain Americans," Carl Boyer III (2001), p. 7 provides much information. "The History and Antiquities of the County of Leicestershire," John Nichols, Vol. 2, part 1 (London: 1795) provides Adeliza as his wife. William was first Earl of Arundel, 1141-1176; also Earl of Lincoln, Earl of Sussex and Chicester, Lord of Buckenham and Master Butler. {-ref.: "Royal Ancestors of Magna Charta Barons," Carr P. Collins, Jr., Dallas, 1959, p. 28} He was first Earl of Lincoln in 1139. He was created Earl of Sussex by King Stephen. He was known as "The Stronghand." http://www.thepeerage.com/p10225.htm states "In 1139 he gave shelter to the Empress Maud at Arundel Castle, but ever after adhered to King Stephen. He held the office of Lord of the Manor of Buckenham, Norfolk in 1139. In 1153 he was influential in arranging the treaty where King Stephen retained the corwn for life, but with Henry II as heir.2 In 1163/64 he was one of the embassy to Rome. In 1168 he was one of the embassy to Saxony. He was commander of the Royal army in Normandy, against the King's rebellious sons, where he distinguished himself with 'swiftness and velocity' in August 1173. He fought in the battle near Bury St. Edmunds on 29 September 1173, where he assisted in the defeat of the Earl of Leicester who had, with his Flemings, invaded Suffolk."

[41720] This person is from an unverified file in Ancestry.com in 2016.
[52998] Abigail, sister of Alexander's first wife, Thankful, is said to be daughter of Freeman Knowles (1755-1797) & Susanna Nash (1753-1847; m. in 1779 in Standish, Cumberland Co., ME).
Descendant Virginia Horler offers her notes:
In the 1880 Census, children Asher E., Mary Frances (Palmer) Pray Marston, Alpheus T. and Joseph L. state that both of their parents were born in Maine. However, BonnieGaia's WorldConnect Tree v050728 gives Asher's birth as 1772 in Charleston, South Carolina. This date makes Asher about 19 years older than his wife, and also makes his election to Captain of his militia unit in 1812 reasonable for a man of 40.
Further ties to South Carolina: son Alpheus Taft Palmer was in Charleston, S.C. in 1840 where he joined the Odd Fellows Lodge.
Eldest son, Asher Elsworth, married and lived in Columbia, S.C.
In late December 1812 Captain Asher Palmer and Mary Ann Fulman, both "of Camden" announced their intention to marry. On January 10, 1813 the Town Clerk issued their marriage certificate. (Town Records 1791-1891 Film 0012046)
On April 13, 1813 the Town of Camden voted Asher Palmer to be a hog reeve for the ensuing year. This was a position usually awarded by vote to bridegrooms and entailed night duty to be sure that the hogs were not loose from their pens and running in the public places.
On February 12, 1812 a Fifth Regiment was added to the militia of Massachusetts, which was composed of three companies in Camden, two companies in Thomaston, one company in St. George, and two companies in Hope and Appleton, and was annexed to the 2d Brigade and 11th Division of the militia.
After the declaration of war on August 4, 1812, Wm. Carleton of Camden, Adjutant of the 5th Regiment, 2d Brigade, 11th Division issued a Regimental Order calling upon the Military and Light Infantry Companies of Camden, Hope, Thomaston and St. George to assemble at places designated in their respective town, between the 17th and 19th days of August. Pursuant to the notice, the Camden companies met at John Eager's tavern on the 17th where vacancies were filled, and the troops inspected and paraded. The companies present were Calvin Curtis' Light Infantry, the 1st Infantry (which had a captain's vacancy to fill to which Asha Palmer was elected) and Capt. Wm. Brown's 2d Infantry. Henceforth Asher was referred to as "Captain" Asha (Asher) Palmer.
In 1814 Asha Palmer still served as Captain of the 1st Infantry Company of the Militia. Other officers were Noah Brooks, Lieutenant and Joseph Hall, Ensign. The Company included 56 additional officers and privates. The 1st Infantry, Light Infantry and 2nd Infantry (West Camden) Companies belonged to the 5thRegiment under the command of Colonel Erastus Foote of Camden (an attorney). On July 6, 1814 the town voted to "pay the Militia draughted for the defense of said town, Six dollars pr. month in addition to the Regular pay, for 2 months from the first day of July Inst., should they not be discharged sooner." (History of Camden and Rockport by Robinson Reuel, Camden, ME, 1907, Chapter XXI, page 160)
Chapter XXII of Reuel's History describes an incident that occurred in August 1814. Some British officers had bribed a pilot to take them to Eastport in a boat. A fast sailing boat was manned for the pursuit by the following well armed party: Capt. Asha Palmer, Richard Conway, Capt. Robbins, a young Camden man by the name of John Tarr, and one Brown. The boat containing the British officers "was espied by Capt. Palmer, and then the race began in earnest. The Yankee crew gained upon them until, near the upper end of Eggemoggin Reach, the Conway boat came alongside, captured the prisoners who, with the pilot, were bound and disposed of as follows: Two of the officers were placed in Conway's boat under charge of Capt. Palmer, Robbins and Brown, while the other two and the pilot were left in the other boat in the custody of Conway and Tarr. Supposing the prisoners were securely bound, Conway placed his gun on the thwart and stepped forward when the pilot freed himself and seized a gun. The British officers then "plied the oars" to catch up to the other boat to rescue their companions. Coming within hailing distance, one of the British officers shouted, "Heave to or we'll shoot you." As there seemed nothing else to do, Capt. Palmer surrendered and the officers in his boat were released and supplied with guns. The British officers, intent on escape, took all the guns and the faster boat and, giving the crestfallen Camden men three hearty cheers, waved their hats in adieu and sailed away towards Eastport, "while our friends dejectedly headed for Camden, where they had to meet the curiosity, questions and comments of the large crowd that had gathered at the wharf to ascertain the result of the chase."
One other mention of Asher's militia experience appears in "The Mt. Deseret Widow, Genealogy of the Maine Gamble Family From First Landing (page 9) which sources extracts from report on Massachusetts War Claims, a certificate of performance from Major Coombs:
"The companies commanded by Captain Coombs, Curtis, Tolman, Palmer Payson and Weed, in November 1814 appear to have been called out by a regimental order, issued by Lieut.. Col. E. Foots, on the 2d Nov., 1814, in consequence, as therein expressed, of 'the enemy's force, consisting of one frigate, one brig of war, and one bomb ketch, being now off Camden, and their commander having demanded of the citizens of Camden the restoration of a sloop and cargo, seized by the officers of the revenue, or the payment of 20,000 pounds sterling, the amount of the vessel and cargo; and having threatened in case his demand is not complied with, to destroy the village of Camden and lay waste the whole coats (coast?) within his command "
on April 5, 1819 in Lincoln: "These personally appeared, Capt. Asher Palmer, Simon Hunt, Job Hodgman Jr., Charles H. Weathersbee, Nathaniel Palmer, Benjamin P. Dillingham and Josiah W. Hosmer being chosen Flag Recers(sp?) for the years ensuing ______ sworn to the faithful discharge of the officers before me. (signed) Moses Frossel, Town Clerk." (Camden Town Records 1791-1891 Film 00112046)
Asher's name is spelled Ashur in the 1820 Census, the Camden Vital Records and on one document relating to the guardianship for son Asher Elsworth; however his name is spelled Asher in the other guardianship for Asher Junior, the guardianship for George F., and in all census for Asher Junior in Columbia, South Carolina. Town and records about his service in the War of 1812 refer to him by his nickname, Asha Palmer.
In 1818 and 1819 Captain Asher Palmer was again voted a Hog Reeve by the town of Camden. (Town Records) On December 6, 1819 Asher Palmer was on the list of Jurymen.
Note that on microfilm 0012046 of the Town Records, Asher and Mary Ann's children are listed as being born in Rockport, a smaller port town about five miles south of Camden.
The 1820 Census lists Ashur Palmer and his family living in Camden, Lincoln, Maine. The family consisted of 2 boys under 10, one male 26 to 44, 2 females under 10, 2 females 16 to 25 and 2 females 26 to 44. There are several more females than I can account for (2-16 to 25 and 1-26 to 44) based on the Camden Family Records I have copies of from the Bangor Library. These may be older sisters and possibly a household helper whose names have been lost. This census indicated there were no unnaturalized citizens, and one was engaged in manufacture. This would tie in to his work as a blacksmith per his probate.
In 1822 an extensive fire in Camden destroyed a blacksmith shop owned and operated by Robt. Chase and Asha Palmer, along with a grist-mill, saw-mill, and bark mill. In 1859 a new grist-mill occupied the site (at the foot of the stream). (Sketches of the History of Camden by John L. Locke, page 153,1859)
Correspondent Jeffrey Briggs forwarded the following obituary printed in the Bangor Daily Commercial for his wife's great grandfather, Alpheus T. Palmer who died in February 1890:
"Capt. Palmer was born in Camden and was 69 years old at the time of his death. ..... his father, A. Palmer, invented and made in Camden, the first scythe of the common form, now used in this country, early in the present century."
I can only assume that Asher Sr. was traveling (possibly to demonstrate his invention) when he met with an accident or fell ill and died suddenly in St. Stephen. My correspondent Shirley O'Neill (soneill@nbnet.nb.ca
"Esra Palmer from the U. S. was buried 30 May 1826."
Most words in these records were misspelled or spelled phonetically as was common at that time. Asher would have died between the birth of his youngest child in 1824 and the first guardianship in 1829. By law the guardianship to the eldest son was not given until he (Asher Elsworth Palmer) was 14 years old, which occurred in 1829. In addition, neither Shirley nor Bangor correspondent, Ann Files, of Bangor, Maine, could not find any record of the death or burial of an Ashur Palmer in the Calais Records. As St. Stephens, N. B. and Calais, Maine are directly across the St. Croix River from each other, it was common for people to go back and forth with no difficulty.
Mary Ann became a widow when she had six children at home ranging in age from two to 13 years old. The first of the two guardian notices is in 1829, when Ashur Palmer, Jr. was assigned to "Asa Davis of Bangor in the County of Penobscot, Surveyor of Lumber as his guardian (September 29, 1829 - signed by Asher Palmer (Jr.)). This probate record would indicate that Father Asher had died and left an estate to his son who was a minor over the age of 14 years.
The Abstracts of Penobscot County Maine Probate Records 1816-1883:
"PALMER, ASHER blacksmith late of St. Stephens, N. B. Sons and heirs, minors: Asher of Bangor, gdn Sept 1829 Asa Davis: George F. of Bangor gdn Apr 1834 Preserved Mills. (Father Asher is here called late of Calais) (2:360, 8:41)."

I had thought that Asher may be related to the following Lincoln County families; however, correspondent Scott Palmer who is related to these families (the Walter Palmer tribe) can find no record of an Asher.
A close look at the family of Palmer's that lived in Camden from about 1776 through at least 1820 shows that Asher's name is not included in the The Genealogical Advertiser: A quarterly Magazine of Family History, Vol, 1-4, page 58, which lists the children of Nathaniel (Jr.) and (Sarah) Palmer under Bristol and Bremen Families, but he would have been born in Camden as Nathaniel, Jr. and Sarah lived in Camden until at least 1793-94.
Twins did occur in the Palmer family. Nathaniel Sr. and Rachel had twin boys in 1769 and their son, Bezaleel, had twins, a boy and a girl, in 1795.
1790 Census Camden, Lincoln, Maine, page 111: Nathaniel Palmer (Jr.): 1 male 16 and over and 2 females (if the first female is Sally, this does not explain Asher). Joshual Sherman lived next door and then Joshua and Benjamin Palmer resided.
1800 Census Bristol, Lincoln, Maine page 384: Nathaniel Palmer Jr.: 5 males under 10, 1 male 16-25; 1 male 26-44; 2 females under 10; 1 female 10-15; 1 female 16-25; 1 female 26-44. Asher would fit here in the five males under 10. The Bristol-Bremen Records list only four names in this age range. If we count Sally as 10-15, the other two listed daughters (Priscilla and Anna) fit in the under 10 group. I cannot account for the one female and one male 16-25.
1810 Census Bristol, Lincoln, Maine page 229: Nathaniel Palmer Jr.: 1 male under 10; 1 male 10-15; 2 males 16-25; 2 males 45 and over; 1 female under 10; 1 female 10-15; 1 female 16-26; 2 females 45 and over. The two males 16-25 are likely Benjamin and Alexander. Asher would have been older and was probably apprenticed as a blacksmith. In 1810 Nathaniel Sr. and his wife Rachel were living with their son Nathaniel Jr. Rachel died in 1811 and Nathaniel Sr. before 1820.
It seems very unlikely that Bezaleel (Nathaniel Jr.'s brother) and Hannah were Asher's parents, even though they are listed in Camden census in 1800 and 1810. Census records show only one son of Asher's age, and he was their son Bezaleel, Jr., born 1788. (1790 Census in Nobleboro,, Waldoboro and Bristol page 48; 1800 Census in Camden page 557; 1810 Census in Camden page 123)
The children of Bezaleel and Hannah are further confirmed in Bezaleel's 1818 Revolutionary War Pension Application. These children match the above mentioned Census and do not include an Asher.
In my search to identify Asher's parents I have also reviewed and eliminated the Joseph Palmer family who settled in Waldo County, Maine. The father, Joseph Palmer was born 3 Aug 1782 in Hanover, Plymouth, Massachusetts, and he was listed in the 1850 census in Waldo County, Maine. I believe that his sons included Joseph and Jonathan born 1790-1800 and James born 1800-1810. They are listed in the 1830 Census for Waldo County. Father Joseph's siblings were born between 1780 and 1793 in Hanover, Plymouth, MA.

Such pilgrims generally brought back a palm branch as proof that they had actually made the journey, but there was a vigorous trade in false souvenirs, and the term also came to be applied to a cleric who sold indulgences."
