Shortly after settling in CT, (5032) William Chesebrough was the subject of an action against him by Plymouth Colonists who had settled in CT, charging that William had taken up residence with a view of carrying on an unlawful trade with the Indians, to whit, furnishing them with and repairing their firearms. The charges were part of a boundary dispute betwween CT and MA, and were later dropped because no evidence was presented. William at first supported the MA claim, but later aquiesced to CT.
William's will included several horses, 2 oxen, 26 head of cattle, and some swine, along with household items. -- http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:1565855&id=I1300

d/o Thos & Dorothy Bird ""The Planters of the Commonwealth" By Charles E. Banks, 1928, States that the ship, "Four Sisters,"of London, sailing the Gravesend on 5-April-1629 for Salem, MA., included among passengers, Walter Palmer. It, along with five other ships Talbot,Lyons Whelp, !George Bonaventure, Lyon and Mayflower (not THE Mayflower) arrived in Salem in June, 1629.
"The Progenitor of the family of this name, (5034) Walter Palmer, was from the Parish of Yetminster, county of Dorse[t]. He was a non-conformist and fled persecution, stopping enroute at Nottingham, midway to Waymouth Harbor, while awaiting passage to America, leading one to believe that Walter was from there. It is very possible that Walter upon leaving his home for the last time; destroyed all records of his family, which might jeopardize the lives of his family...."

On August 24, 1643, Walter Palmer and his good friend (5032) William Chesebrough, whose foutunes closely coincided during their lives left Charlestown along with other planters and started a new settlement at a place known as "Seacuncke" (Black Goose)... The area was to become independent of other organizations until they could decide on a government.
On June 4, 1645 Seacuncke was renamed Antient Rehoboth (a town by the river) and assigned itself to The Plymouth Colony... Walter along with several others were [dissatisfied over the vote. He, William Chesebrough and (5036) Thomas Miner then all moved to CT, but the dispute with Plymouth Colonists followed them there.]

"MINOR, or MINER, ...(5036) THOMAS, Charlestown, 1632, s. of (10072) William of Chew Magna, in Co. Somerset, one of the found. of the ch. in Frothingham, 70, as well as Budington, 184, said to be dism. for that purpose from Boston ch. 14 Oct. of that yr. but tho. the rec. at C. supports them, his name is not in the list of Boston mem. in the surv. copy of our first ch.; freem. 4 Mar. 1634, rem. to Saybrook, thence to New London soon aft. 1645, d. m. 23 Apr. 1634, (5037) Grace, eldest d. of (10074) Walter Palmer, had sev. ch. but not all, bef. rem.

"He was a very valua. man, rep. 1650 and 1, perhaps 65, 70, and 3, for Stonington, but I doubt, some of the latter honors belong to his s. of the same name, and prob. Hinman, who makes him town clk. of Woodbury for 30 yrs. from 1674, makes the same mistake in pp. 54, 153, and 222. The f. was the oldest gr.stone at Stonington shows, d. 23 Oct. 1690, aged 83; and his w. d. the same yr. Hannah, the only d. that liv. to mid. age, m. 1677, (5037xiii[1]) Thomas Avery. A diary kept by him for sev. yrs. furnish. some good informat. Sometimes in Conn. this name is Myner; and in 1834 nine of the fam. had been gr. at Yale."

"(5036) Thomas, the immigrant, spelled his name "Minor" when he arrived in the colonies in the "Lyon's Whelp" June 14, 1630. When he later received the "Essay", for some time he changed the spelling to "Miner" to conform to the spelling in the "Essay". Some of the descendants changed the spelling, some didn't. Spelling frequently changed back and forth. He apparently finally settled for "Minor" as his gravestone..."

"From Boston Transcript genealogical column of 13 Apr 1932 (ref no 3147) I found the following:
"Miles Moore removed with his family to New London. He and his wife seem to have let their church membership drift, and seem to have been dropped at Milford. At New London in their old age, they appear to have again affiliated on basis of former membership at Milford. In the printed New London Church Records, it reads "1681: More, old goodman and wife." Their ancestry is not known. They had son Elnathan, who died young, and Abel. Daughters Deborah, Miriam, Lydia and Mary. All but Mary married in New London.
"The "Genealogical Dictionary of New England Settlers" gives a little bit more additional information about Miles Moore. It says he was of Milford in 1646, but removed as early as 1657 to New London. He was a freeman in 1663, and called "old" in 1680. He left descendants through his daughter Miriam, who was wife of John Willey, as well as through his son Abel...
"His daughter Lydia was baptized 6 Oct 1649 in New London (according to the Boston Transcript column mentioned previously) and married Manassah Miner of New London, CT. The connections between Manassah Miner and Lydia Moore were gathered from his diary and other clues found in New London Records (again, according to the Boston Transcript)."
