Genealogics: Giving some background to Sir Thomas Palmer m M

Here on Leo's great web site

we see that Sir Thomas Palmer of Wingham, 1st Bart who m Margaret Poley and they both died in 1625 and are buried at Wingham.

No parents are given for him.

Initially Tudorplace.com.ar gave me the indication that his parentage was known or at least suspected and today while mousing around I found a good reference for that.

He has a DNB entry
http://books.google.com/books?id=myYJAA ... #PPA161,M1
DNB, "Palmer, Sir Thomas (1540-1626)"

In which they state that he was the third son of Sir Henry Palmer, Knt of Wingham, Kent and Bailiff of Guisnes in 1539 (among other offices) by his wife Jane Windebank daughter of Sir Richard Windebank, Knt of Guisnes

Furthermore they state that Sir Henry left three sons Thomas, Arnold and Edward.

Continuining with DNB we find another Sir Thomas Palmer who was the uncle of this first one. This Sir Thomas Palmer was *executed* on Tower Hill for his complicity with the Duke of Northumberland. The execution is mentioned in

"Fox's Book of Martyrs"

Where they say it occurred on 22 Aug 1553

I serendipitously came across this collection of persons while I was reading about the Manor of Atcham. Apparently this Thomas Palmer who was executed is the same one who 2E6 was granted that Manor. Him being the same one executed is again repeated here
