Read More	JOHN PALMER, son of Samuel and Hepsibah (Abbe) Palmer, born in Windham, Conn., March 6, 1720-1; died August 13, 1807 (probably in Scotland, Windham Co, CT). He was a member of the Church in Scotland, Windham County, Conn., at the time of the Separate movement. For too free exercise of his gift of exhortation, he was summarily arrested by the civil authority and kept in Hartford jail four months, only increasing his zeal, devotion, and opposition to the established churches. After further trial, the church united in calling him to its ministry, and on May 17, 1749, he was ordained its pastor. "Though deficient in education and somewhat rough in speech and manner, Mr. Palmer was a man of estimable character and sound piety, and under his guidance the Brunswick church, as it was called, maintained for many years a good standing in the community, comparatively free from those excesses and fanaticisms which marred so many of its contemporaries. No difficulty was found in supporting its worship by voluntary contributions. A church edifice was built a mile or so southeast of Scotland Village, long known as the Brunswick meetinghouse. Mr. Devotion (pastor of the established church) was never reconciled to this intrusion within his parochial diocese, but was accustomed every Sunday morning to send his negro servant with a rescript to the Brunswick meetinghouse, forbidding Mr. Palmer or any other unauthorized person to preach therein that day—a prohibition which only served to increase the number of attendants and fan the spirit of separation and opposition."
