[Palmer Family genealogical roll of arms

Manuscripts

Modeled on genealogical rolls of the late medieval kings of England, this roll of arms, signed by Robert Cooke, Clarenceaux King of Arms, claims to display the ancestry of the Palmer family from the eleventh- or twelfth-century progenitor Henry Palmer to the four sons of Edward Palmer (ca. 1550-1624), a wealthy landowner in England and the New World. A crusader and a member of Henry VIII's Troop of Gentlemen number among the sixty-nine men and women identified here. The earlier portions of the genealogy, clearly calculated to show off illustrious ancestors and to highlight important connections through marriage, are difficult to verify. This roll does not provide the dates of birth or death for anyone in the Palmer pedigree, and only a few are linked definitively to a particular monarch's reign or to a specific historic event.
