Notes: Palmer CLEVELAND

NOTE 1: Palmer Cleveland remained at North Kingston after the others of his father's family emigrated to Canterbury; was then already married. He owned land at North Kingston, afterward sold by his son John. Afterwards dwelt at Exeter. The town records of North Kingston were mutilated by fire ( year column burned off, etc.) in 1870, so much so that it is impossible to procure many names and dates. "July 1, 1751, John Congdon, Justyce of ye peace, certifies that Palmer Cleveland of Exeter, and _____ Northup, widow to David Northup, late of North Kingston, were both lawfully joined together in marriage in ye towne of ______." Her name was Margaret, and the towne North Kingston. Will of Palmer Cleveland, dated Sept. 28, 1759, probated Mar. 20, 1765, mentions sons John and Deliverance, daughters Deborah Tripp, Mary or Mercy Stafford, Margaret and Abigail Cleveland. His son John administered his estate, which was considerable. "Margaret, widow of Palmer Cleveland, late deceased," with John, joins in a deed Jan. 17, 1767.
