[420] A Puritan who came from Nottinghamshire, Eng., in 1628; landed
in Salem, Mass., and came to Stonington, Conn., in the fall of
1649.
FWith others, formed the town of Charlestown, Massachusetts
and was there from 1629-1643. His interests tended to stock
raising and farming, and because he needed more land for his
ventures, he joined with William Chese brough of Boston and
Braintree, Massachusetts and they moved their families to
Plymouth Colony. There they joined in the organization of the
town of Rehoboth, Massachusetts.
Walter was a prominent man in Massachusetts and was admitted
freeman there 18 May 1631, held local offices (constable 1633),
and was elected by planters of Rehoboth as first representative
of the General Court of Plymouth. He later joined his friend
William Chesebrough in Stonington, Connecticut, settling on
Wequetequock Cove in 1653.
[421] This may have been Nottinton, County Dorset, but researchers
have not found him in either place.
[422] Pope's "Pioneers of Massachusetts" says he died at Sothertowne,
Suffolk Co., MA. Also, a death date of 16 Nov. 1661 has been
cited.
[423] His wife and son Elihu were executors.
[424] A monument has been erected in this old cemetery to the memory
of the four founders of Stonington: William Chesebrough, Walter
Palmer, Thomas Miner, and Thomas Stanton.
[11238] Some sources say about 1614.
