Lt.William Palmer is not the Palmer on the fortune. The general idea I have since he first appears in Colonial records as Sargent Palmer he most likely came over on a military ship. That's the angle I'm working anyway. Do you have a copy of Horace Palmer's "Palmer Family in America"?
Lt. William was my 9th GGF and I have been pondering up dating all the lines as much as possible.
My line would be Lt. William, James, Samuel, Samuel, James, David, David, Henry, Mary.
I didn't see his name on the list of passengers of The Fortune, didn't know about the military ships, so are you 10 Gen.?, we split at after the first James. My line was set up by a distant cousin, Edward Fink, but he passed and it was taken down, his sister has the same info online some where. It would not surprise me if you're correct about the military connection, I heard from one of my Uncles that Jon Smith had written a letter of introduction for him, so I assume he was some sort of military man in England.

Hi Marten,
Haven't heard the John Smith but in several Colonial Records he is assigned duties and he was second in command to Miles Standish.
Which line after James? I have worked on updating a few lines other then mine. Thanks-Todd
