(Mr. Palmer came to this town early, but his first recorded deed transaction was of 270 acres, on Lot 31, Tully, dated April 29, 1816. He afterwards owned land on lots 1, 22, 32, 33 and 41, Tully. By his wife, Amy, he is known to have had at least two children: Randall, married Meribah Ripley, daughter of Jonathan and Ruth (Corey) Ripley; and Hosea, married Sophia Burdick, daughter of Thompson and Tabitha (Wilcox) Burdick, when married he first went to house keeping on the northwest corner of Lot 32, Tully, in a house long since gone to decay, on a small farm then reached by a private way, and now entirely isolated from any highway ; from there he moved to Pennsyl- vania, where he died; his widow then came to Scott, N.

No genealogy of Spafford families would be complete without reference to Gilbert Palmer and his son, John Palmer, who were, without question, the first settlers within the limits of the present town, although we have no record that any dead of this family were deposited in any of our cemeteries. Mr. Joshua V. H. Clark, in his excellent history of the County of Onondaga, says: Mr. Palmer came here in the Fall of 1794 from Dutchess or Westchester County, N. Y., and settled on Lot 76, Marcellus, for which he served as a soldier in the Revolution, and he gives a very graphic description of an accident which befell his son, John, by the felling of a tree, etc., a story which is familiar to all readers of that and subsequent histories of this county. We have no data at hand to prove the incorrectness of the date which Mr. Clark fixes, as the time of Mr. Palmer's arrival here, but as he is incorrect in some of his statements about Mr. Palmer, we think it possible he may have been misinformed on that subject. His deed of Lot 76, excepting State's Hun- dred Acres, is dated September 21, 1792, and is from Thomas Ostrander, the original soldier, who served for the lot. In this deed he is described as a farmer from York- town, or Amawalk, Westchester County, N. Y. Mr. Palmer probably was a soldier of the Revolution, and we are inclined to the belief that he came originally from Connecti- cut, where his name appears (or another of the same name) in the Militia of that State, for the reason that many of the Palmers in this State came originally from Stonington, Conn. The name of Gilbert Palmer also appears in the Militia of this State, and he possibly may have served in both States; but no Gilbert Palmer served in New York in any regiment or levy, entitling him to draw bounty lands in this State. It seems to us more probable that Palmer came here earlier than the Fall of 1794. He conveyed from time to time the lands which he owned, but in no conveyance was he joined by a wife; he was probably a widower while he
SPAFFORD MORTUARY RECORDS WITH GENEALOGICAL NOTES 199
resided here. In one deed of lands on lot 76, he conveyed to a Samuel Palmer,-this was in 1806,-but the next year the latter and wife, Elizabeth, conveyed away these lands, and no more is known of Samuel, or of any record that the two Palmers named in this deed were related to each other. In his deeds to John Palmer he speaks of him as his son. We have no record of any children of Gilbert Palmer other than his son, John, and all we know of him is, that he came from Westchester County, was a tailor, resided on Lot 76, Marcellus, until about 1814, that he then sold out and moved into the village of Borodino, and carried on his avocation of tailor there until the Spring of 1819, and then moved to Hannibal, Oswego County, N. Y. Mr. Clark says Gilbert Palmer died about 1839. It is possible that he and his son, John, both died in the latter place. The given name of John Palmer's wife was Rachel.
A Mr. Ziba Palmer, at an early date, resided in Spafford Hollow, near the head of Otisco Lake, who is credited with a family of twenty-two children, but of him we have no further record.
PARKER.
Samuel Parker. Died October 25, 1853, age 67 years.
(Mr. Parker came to this town from Greenwich, Wash- ington County, N. Y., and first settled on what is now known as the Breed farm, on Lot 11, Tully, where he lost his first wife, Amy. From there he moved to Spaffod Hollow, where he died. His second wife was the widow, Rebecca White. He was a member of Capt. Asahel Roundy's Company, in the 96th Regiment, of New York Militia, in the War of 1812. His children were: Marietta, married Frank Smith; Isaac, Amasa, and Polly, married James Goodwin.)
