Judith Palmer
Wife of Samuel Raymond of Norwalk, Connecticut, whom she married in 1696, and probably the mother of Ephraim Raymond of Bedford. Probably a daughter of Ephraim Palmer of Greenwich; she was living in 1738, when her husband named her in his will. The family's descent from her rests on Jonathan Fairchild of East Jewett being her great-grandson, which is possible only.

Pedigree
Notes
Wife of Samuel Raymond of Norwalk, Connecticut, whom she married on 1 April 1696, and mother of Ephraim Raymond of Bedford. “Samuel 6, son of John 2, Norwalk, Conn., m. Apl. 1, 1696, Judith, dau. of Ephraim Palmer, of Greenwich” (source). She was living when her husband made his will on 23 October 1738, naming “wife, Judith” (source).
Her father, Ephraim Palmer of Greenwich, is said to have been a son of William Palmer and Judith Feake, daughter of James Feake, a London goldsmith of Lombard Street (Olar, The Palmer Genealogy; not checked here). If so, she was of the same Feake family as the Frosts of Oyster Bay. That chain is possible only.
The family’s descent from her rests on the identification of Jonathan Fairchild of East Jewett with her great-grandson Jonathan, born at Norwalk in 1744, which is only possible (see Jonathan Fairchild).
