Sir Charles Thomas Hudson Palmer, 2nd Baronet (1771 – 30 April 1827). His family seat was in Wanlip Hall in Leicestershire. ==Life== Charles Thomas Hudson was born in 1771 to Sir Charles Hudson, 1st Baronet of Wanlip Hall and his wife. In 1805 Palmer married Harriet Pepperell who was one of the three daughters of the Anglo-American Sir William Pepperell of Boston and Elizabeth the daughter of Isaac Royall. She was born on 17 December 1773. A portrait of William Pepperell and his three daughters and short lived son was painted by John Singleton Copley in 1778. Hudson's marriage was important as it linked his family not only to the Pepperell family inheritance, but it also gave him a connection to the American Royall family. The Royalls had become rich due to their Antiguan slave plantations. Both Isaac Royall and Hudson's father had interest in slave plantations in Surinam.〔(The Palmer family of Wanlip ), Leics.goc.uk, retrieved 29 June 2014〕 In 1803 Charles and Harriett had Louisa and in 1806 came Mary Ann. Caroline Harriet was born in 1809 and his heir George Joseph was born in 1811.〔 His final two children were Charles Axdale and William Henry.〔 After his father's death in 1813, his 1812 will was successfully challenged after it was considered by the Law Lords. The Master of the Rolls considered that his request that his executors pass on his wealth (2,500 pounds) to the children that were surviving 28 years after his death was too vague and remote. Under the terms of his mother's father's will he changed his name to Palmer and his father's Hudson baronetcy became the Palmer baronetcy of Wanlip Hall.〔 One of his daughters was Caroline Harriet Abraham. She feared that she would die a spinster after spending time nursing her mother. She went to New Zealand as the wife of Bishop Charles Abraham and she became an amateur noted artist.〔(Caroline Abraham ), NZ encyclopedia, retrieved 28 June 2014〕 Palmer died in Wanlip in 1827.〔(Obituary ), The Gentleman's Magazine, and Historical Chronicle, Volume 97, Part 1〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sir Charles Palmer, 2nd Baronet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
