Notes	History of Stonington CT, by Wheeler, page 506. Rebecca came to this country in 1632 Walter Palmer, by Doris Palmer Buys, page 20. "On 1 June 1633 Walter, his daughter Grace, and his future wife,Rebecca Short, joined Charlestown First Church, Rebecca transferring fromthe Roxbury Church. She may have been one of the young people whoseparents died on the voyage to America and who were put in the care ofsome family here -- 'bound out' until they were of age. Unlike theSouthern states, New England would accept no women of uncertain origin,and the fact that Rebecca was immediately admitted a member of theRoxbury Church and became the wife of an important man shows that she wasnot an ordinary maid servent." Page 47, Rebecca Short (daughter of Thomas Short. (according to researchmanuscripts of Dr. Byron Smith Palmer) a member of the Roxbury Church.The Rev. John Eliot was Minister of the Church where they were married. (thehandwritten manuscripts of Dr. Palmer have no reference.) DIARY OF THOMAS MINOR, by Thomas Minor, page 104. Died 15 Jul 1671.
