THE PALMER LINE
of
JOSEPH BREED and his wife PRISCILLA AVERY BREED,

From a biographical sketch in "The First Congregational Church of Stonington, Conn." by Richard A. Wheeler:
"Walter Palmer came to Stonington, Conn., in 1653, and located on lands that he had purchased of Governor Haynes. He subsequently received other grants of land from the town of Pequot, adjoining his first purchase. He erected his dwelling house on the east side of Wequetoquoc Cove, near the present residence of Thomas J. Wheeler, Esq., on the site of the Old Slack House.
His lands were bounded on the west by Wequetoquoc Cove, south by the Bay, easterly by Thomas Stanton's grants, and north by the Chesebrough land, and lands given to Thomas Minor.
Walter Palmer came to this country from England, and reached Charlestown, Mass., in 1629. He brought with him his dau., Grace, whose mother died in England. He was sworn Freeman, May 18, 1631. Sometime before 1633, he m. Rebecca Short, and with his new wife and dau., Grace, joined the church in Charlestown, Mass., June 1, 1633, where he continued to reside until 1642, when they removed to Rehoboth, Plymouth Colony. Here, he purchased and re¬ceived large tracts of land, and was elected Deputy to the General Court of Plymouth in 1643 and 1647.
During his residence in Rehoboth, he held various offices, and enjoyed largely the confidence and esteem of his fellow citizens. Mr. Palmer died twelve years before the First Congregational Church of Stonington, Conn., was formed, but having been one of the early settlers, and prominent in laying the foundation of the town and church, he has been given this brief tribute of respect. Mr. Pal¬mer died in 1662, leaving a will which was probated in Boston, Mass."

After the death of his first wife, John Breed moved from Lynn, Mass., to Stonington, Conn., where he purchased land from Gershom Palmer (1644-1719), father of his second wife. He built his home, and a bark mill where he carried on his business as a tanner and currier. More than 200 years later, a lineal descendant, living on the original farm, was using John Breed's ancient nether millstone as a stepping stone at the house entrance. John Breed was the founder of the Stonington branch of the Breed family. He and his second wife, Mercy, were buried in the old Wequetequoc burial place with the Palmer family. The blue slate tombstone, erected in 1772 by six of their children then living, reads: "In memory of a Pious Pair this carved stone is erected here, viz: of Mr. John Breed and his wife Mercy, who lived together in ye marriage state in a most religious manner about 64 years, and then deceased, leaving a numerous off-spring, he in 1751 about 90 years of age, and she in 1752 about 83 years."
