  BRIAN PENDLETON AND HIS DESCENDANTS, 1599-1910, Compiled by Everett HallPendleton, Privatley Printed MCMX, found in the DAR Library, Washington,DC. Page 1-77. James Pendleton married 1st at Sudbury, Mass., 22 Oct 1647, MaryPalmer, whos parentage is unknown. She died in Sudbury, 7 Nov 1655. NEHGR, Vol. 153, October 1999, page 501. A book review of A GENEALICALRECORD OF THE DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM PALMER OF HAMPTON, NEW HAMPSHIRE,1638, by John Calvin Palmer (Decorah, Iowa: Anundsen Publishing Company,1998. One distinctly useful addition to the genealogical literature is theinclusion here of facsimile of William Palmer's unprobated will. Althoughthis genealogy does not say so, the original (and a framed tyuped coyp)of this will are found among the treasures of the Tuck Memorial Museumoperated by the Hampton Historical Society. A photo-reproduction of theoriginal will, and a transcription of it, are in cluded here. Unknownexcept to a few of us descendants of William Palmer, this will is nowfortunately preserved in the literature. Of considerable interest in its own right, the will proves that Mr.Palmer had a daughter Mary, who must be the Mary Palmer of Watertown,Massachusetts, who married in Sudbury, on 22 October 1647, CaptainJames-2 (Brian-1) Pendleton of that place. William Palmer had earlier been of Watertown, and his olderdaughter, Martha, was married to John Sherman and lived there. The willwas signed by Mr. Palmer's mark, which resembles a zero, and waswitnessed by "Timothie Dalton Seniour" and "John Shearman". It is notknown why this will was never submitted for probate, but fortunately itwas preserved over the centuries and found its way to a relavively safeplace. Sources: NEHGR, v17, p172; Wheeler.
