Bio

Son of George Palmer & Phebe Draper Married Sally Knight , 1 Dec 1851, Salt Lake City, Utah Married Caroline Jacques , 30 Mar 1856, Salt Lake City, Utah Our Pioneer Heritage Volume 1 Women and Children of the Mormon Battalion Phebe Draper Palmer Brown Zemira Palmer was born August 9, 1831 in the Province of Upper Canada, the son of Phebe Draper and George Palmer. After the death of his father his mother married Ebenezer Brown, and when she was given the privilege of accompanying her husband on the march of the Mormon Battalion, Zemira asked to go with them. Although he was not old enough to be a soldier he was given permission by the officers in charge to go provided he could carry a gun and all the other necessary equipment. His mother, knowing the need of a growing boy for extra food, often purposely burned the bread served to the officers so that they would cut off the blackened crusts. These she saved for Zemira who said they tasted better than a piece of pie under other circumstances. After the disbanding of the Battalion in Los Angeles, Zemira helped his parents pan gold in order to get an outfit and enough provisions to join the Saints in Utah. * Mormon Battalion members
