Notes

Sir Thomas Palmer, living in 1629

Sir Thomas Palmer was probably the grandson of Sir Thomas Palmer (1540-1626), who was the third son of Sir Henry Palmer of Wingham, Kent. The Palmer family's residence in Wingham dates to the purchase by Sir Henry Palmer of the grant of the college of Wingham, following the dissolution of ecclesiastical property, which Sir Henry and later Palmers made their seat.

Hasted records that Sir Thomas Palmer's grandfather was well known for his hospitality at his mansion, a custom which, from the correspondence of Sir James Oxinden and his son Henry Oxinden of Deane, appears to have continued to the grandson's residence at the mansion in Wingham.

Sir Thomas Palmer (d. 1626)

Sir Thomas Palmer (d. 1626) had been knighted on the expedition to Cadiz in XXXX and made baronet in 1621. His three sons were Sir Thomas, Sir Roger, and Sir James Palmer (d. 1657). The second son, Sir Roger Palmer, was master of the household to Charles I. According to Hasted, his eldest son predeceased his father, and the mansion at Wingham was inherited by his grandson, also Sir Thomas Palmer, who appears to be the Sir Thomas Palmer writing to Sir James Oxinden in February 1627.

Sir Thomas Palmer (d. 1626) published ‘An Essay of the Meanes how to make our Travailes into forraine Countries the more profitable and honourable,' (London, 1606), which would be interesting to examine in the context of Sir George Oxenden's later travels
