Walter Palmer, by Doris Palmer Buys, page 20.
    "On 1 June 1633 Walter, his daughter Grace, and his future wife, Rebecca Short, joined Charlestown First Church, Rebecca transferring from the Roxbury Church. She may have been one of the young people whose parents died on the voyage to America and who were put in the care of some family here -- 'bound out' until they were of age. Unlike the Southern states, New England would accept no women of uncertain origin, and the fact that Rebecca was immediately admitted a member of the Roxbury Church and became the wife of an important man shows that she was not an ordinary maid servent."

    Rebecca Short (daughter of Thomas Short. (according to research manuscripts of Dr. Byron Smith Palmer) a member of the Roxbury Church. The Rev.
John Eliot was Minister of the Church where they were married. (the handwritten manuscripts of Dr. Palmer have no reference.)
