Letters were sent out by Dr. Byron S. Palmer to all the Palmer names he could find requesting family data. The letter contained an eloquent request, enumerating the benefits to future generations if the questionnaire was filled out. ln the year l923, his results were published, and we are grateful for his untiring efforts.
The genealogical record "Palmer's in America" no doubt had its origin through the family reunion of Palmer's at Stonington Connecticut in 1881.
"Palmer Group 5" was published in 1901 and covered only the Walter Palmer's of Stonington. They were the prime promoters of the 1881 reunion, being promote leaders and citizens of Stonington, New London, Norwich and that section of Connecticut, all descendants of Walter. The genealogy of this family was started some time previous by Noyes F. Palmer of Jamaica, N. Y., he being the original genealogist of this family.
