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

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.]
