- The book, "The Descendants of Stephen Pierson of Suffolk County, England, and New Haven, and Derby, Conn. 1645-1739" by Frederick Lockwood Pierson, published by Walsh & Griffen of Amenia N.Y. 1895 states: "Laura Pierson Palmer's son, Abiah W. Palmer, was president of the bank ; m. Miss Yeomans of Westfield, Mass. He died and she m. again. Laura Pierson Palmer was shot at through a window in the evening just before Abiah, Jr., was born. The object was to destroy the heir prospective. The charge of shot just grazed the top of her head and failed of its purpose. It frightened her but did not seriously injure her or heir. The would be murderer (a man named Palmer) was arrested and convicted." (and died in prison)
