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.2 |

John Palmer
M, #271, b. 11 October 1789, d. 3 July 1889
Note* | John "cut down trees, cleared the land, raised cattle and crops, built mills, logged, stream drove and lumbered, built at least one vessel, was farmer, lumberman, miller, fisherman, sailor, trader, shipmaster and soldier", but "had never made grindstones", one of the favourite occupations of Westmorland County in the early days where grindstones were a measure of value.
His reminiscences included ordering of the Dorchester militia to St. John in 1813 to replace the 104th, which had marched to Quebec. "We marched the first day to the Bend (the Bend of the Pedicodiac, Moncton later). There was no road - only a pathway marked by blazed trees through the woods. There were no settlements - only an occasional house, where now there are towns and villages. We had a hard march through deep snow, made more difficult by the scarcity of provisions along the route. The next month February, 30 volunteers were called for to do garrison duty at Fort Cumberland until the artillery arrived from Halifax. I was one of them. We came up to Shepody in a schooner, of which Thomas Brewster was master and owner. John Calhoun set us over to Belliveau and we trudged home, without food or drink and nearly perished from the cold." (Extracted from the St. John Journal, year unknown.) |
