In his will, Stephen Palmer set a half acre aside as a cemetery with access to it at all times. This is the Palmer Family Cemetery at the old homestead in Hampstead, New Brunswick, Canada. The description, quoted from Murray Slipp Thomson's superb web site on the Palmer Family Cemetery, is as follows:

"On lot 9, in Central Hampstead, between Highway 102 and the west bank of the River Saint John, is the Palmer Family Cemetery. Seventy-Two people are known to be buried there, with thirty-five tombstones and five unmarked graves. It can't be seen from either the highway or the river, but can be seen clearly from the north kitchen window of the ten room Palmer homestead built in 1835, after the Loyalist log cabin burned. It is a well kept cemetery."

The sons of Stephen are well to do, and some of them wealthy farmers. (Extracted from "History of Queen's County, N.B." by E. Stone Wiggins, 1876, page 46.)7

Biographical Note

Marcus Palmer Sr. was a United Empire Loyalist. His father's first name is unknown, but his widowed mother Mary married William Lawrence when Marcus was three years old. When he was fifteen, Marcus, his mother and his step-father were refugees on the Commerce, a ship in the July 1783 fleet. In 1789 two important events in his life occurred. When court was in session at Gagetown 14 January 1789, it appointed Joseph Nickerson and 21 year old Marcus Palmer constables for the Parish of Hampstead for the year. Later in 1789, when he was 22 years old, Marcus Palmer married. 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 U.E. So their home at Grand Lake in the Parish of Waterborough was used for the wedding.

There is a dress sword on display in Jones House, King's Landing Historical Settlement, near Kingsclear, N.B., although the true origin of the sword is not known. The sword was won at the estate auction of Arlie Palmer by the Kings Landing Historical Settlement. Arlie claimed that the sword was originally owned by Gideon Palmer of Dorchester, New Brunswick, and that Gideon was the father of Marcus Palmer of Queens County. There has never been found any evidence that Gideon ever visited the Palmers of Hampstead, Queens County, New Brunswick. Gideon had a son named Marcus, and he has been confused with the Queens County Marcus, most notably in print by Othniel Merritt. This dress sword most likely was owned by William Lawrence, second husband of Mary Palmer.

This dress sword was last owned by Arlie Palmer of Central Hampstead. He claimed, as does Kings Landing Historical Settlement, that this sword was owned originally by Gideon Palmer Sr. of Dorchester. It was most likely handed down from the Queens County Palmers, as there is no proof that Gideon ever visited the Palmer Loyalist farm in Central Hampstead.

WillMarcus Palmer, Sr., left a will on 14 December 1820 in Hampstead, Queens County, New Brunswick, CanadaG.

The following was transcribed from a photographed copy of a document held at the Gagetown Archives, Gagetown, NB. There are several instances where 'PALMER' is spelled 'PARLMER' in this document. This alternate spelling is also to be found on markers in the Palmer Family Cemetery in Central Hampstead.

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.5

DeathHe died on 28 April 1822 in Waterborough, Queens County, New BrunswickG.1
BurialHe was buried in the Palmer Cemetery, Central Hampstead, Queens County, New Brunswick, Canada, 45.648500, -66.108950G.

Seventy-Two people are known to be buried there, with thirty-five tombstones and five unmarked graves. It can't be seen from either the highway or the river, but can be seen clearly from the north kitchen window of the ten room Palmer homestead built in 1835, after the Loyalist log cabin burned. It is a well kept cemetery.' The sons of Stephen are well to do, and some of them wealthy farmers. (Extracted from 'History of Queen's County, N.B.' by E. Stone Wiggins, 1876, page 46.)
