Hi Antony

Your info has kept me busy for the past 2 days and has directed me in all
sorts of directions. I am not any part of the Palmer tree, but the name
Reckless appealed to me so I started to accumulate info and my tree is now
growing fast. Just hooked on all this 1820 stuff!

You mentioned that you are a Palmer descendent but have not yet attacked
this line of research yet. When you do, I have some DNs that may interest
you.

Cheers

Jennifer
