Sorry I goofed on the "KIRWOOD" reference.. forgot to clean my buffer. I have
two other names to add to this: CANER, DIBBLE, LLOYD, SEABURY
Here is the Palmer paragraph:

>From HISTORY OF STAMFORD - Chapter: NEW FAMILY NAMES 1771 pg 188-189

PALMER: Samuel and Hannah CROSS, married March 31, 1715, and had daughter
Hannah. This family name is still honored not only on our citizens' list,
but in one of our finest hills.

Hope this helps..
Valerie

I would be very interested in the paragraph on the Palmer family, if you don't
mind sending it to me. I would appreciate it very much.
thanks in advance>>>
