Jonah Palmer, SR. married Abigail Carpenter TITUS, born 1629, in
Rehoboth 9 November 1692. (See the TAG article by Gene
Zubrinsky, quoting the James S. Elston book for documentation,
also Rehoboth VR 1:95). This Abigail is called "my mother
Abigail Palmer" in the will of her son John Titus, Jr.
Amos B. Carpenter has Jonah Palmer, Jr. marrying Abigail d/o
Joseph and Margaret Sutton on this date, which I discounted as
simply confusion for the above marriage.
Jonah Palmer, Jun'r married Elizabeth Kendrick 28 MAY 1689 in
Rehoboth, Bristol, MA. Record #: 1:49
Name: Elizabeth Kendrick
Spouse: Jonah Palmer
Marriage Date: 28 May 1689
A member of this list has told me that this Jonah Palmer, JR
married (2) Abigail d/o Joseph and Margaret Sutton. He so far
has provided no documentation, and no date, and it is not in
Rehoboth VRs that I can see using the on-line version. He also
confirms that Jonah Palmer, SR married Abigail Carpenter Titus
born 1629.
I had hoped that Elizabeth Kendrick was alive and well beyond
the date of the supposed marriage to Abigail d/o Joseph and
Margaret Sutton, but unfortunately it appears that she was not.
Elizabeth Kendrick, the wife of Jonah Palmer, JR. is said to
have died 11 FEB 1691/92 Rehoboth, Bristol, MA 2
2.Abbrev: Rehoboth VR

So, it is possible that Jonah Palmer, JR. could have remarried
someone by the approximate date in question.
I have absolutely nothing on Abigail d/o Joseph and Margaret
Sutton beyond her date of birth. Does anyone else have
documented information about her?
