Palmer, Marcus - Will Made 1820 - Filed 1822
Marcus Palmer UE. made his will 14 December 1820, more than a year before he died 28 April 1822. It was filed in the Queens County Registry Office in Gagetown 25 June 1822. He bequeathed:
- to wife ANN (SLOCUM), all my household furniture during her natural life, and then be divided among my three daughters at her discretion. To my wife the use of my house and a comfortable maintenance from the produce of my Lands which shall not be sold during her widowhood, and half the stock.
- to son WILLIAM PARLMER his heirs and assigns 10 shillings.
- to the rest of my sons, CHARLES, MARCUS, DANIEL, and JOSEPH 180 pounds each.
- to son STEPHEN 200 pounds.
- to daughter SARAH 50 pounds.
- to daughter MARY WATSON 30 pounds.
- to daughter SUSANNAH ANN 25 pounds.
- In case of any accident among my children that shall leave them incapable of getting their living, I will they be supported out of my estate.
- In case any of my children die without lawful issue, his part shall be divided among my children in proportion to the sum annexed to their names.
EXECUTORS - MARCUS PARLMER, JR. & THOMAS UNDERHILL
EXECUTRIX - WIFE ANN PARLMER
WITNESSED BY BENJAMIN CLARK, LEONARD SLIP, JAMES SLIP.
MARCUS PARLMER thought when he was making this will that he was taking care of every contingency. He couldn't foresee that in 1835 the home would burn to the ground. Only one chair was saved. It is a hand-made, straight-backed chair. It was painted black with paint made out of buttermilk and lamp black. The rush seat has been recaned several times by Indians, and is in good shape as when the Loyalist ANN SLOCUM PALMER sat in it.

Marcus PALMER, Sr., b. 5 Aug 1767, Dutchess County, New York d. 28 Apr 1822, Waterborough, Queens County, New Brunswick (Age 54 years) |
Mother |
Ann SLOCUM, b. 25 Jan 1771, North Kingstown, Washington County, Rhode Island d. 11 Feb 1848, Hampstead, Queens County, New Brunswick (Age 77 years) |
Marriage |
25 Oct 1789 |
Waterborough, Queens County, New Brunswick [10, 11] |
- Rev. Richard Clarke of Gagetown's Saint John Anglican Church recorded "Waterborough Oct. 25, 1789, married Marcus Palmer and Anne Slocum both of Hampstead, but were married at Mr. Wiggins in the above parish".
Both Ann and Marcus were Quakers, but a Quaker wedding was not legal in New Brunswick at that time. Ann Slocum's older sister was married to a good Anglican, Jacob Wiggins UE. So their home at Grand Lake in the Parish of Waterborough was used for the wedding.
