Isom Palmer, whose name has various spellings (Isam, Isham), was born to Martin and Sarah (Hardwick) Parmer in Ohio. In 1825, the Palmer (Parmer) family moved to Texas, settling near Nacogdoches the next year, and participated in the 1826 Fredonian Rebellion. During both the Siege of Bexar and the Grass Fight in late 1835, Palmer fought under Capt. John M. Bradley. In March 1836 he served as sergeant-at-arms at the signing of the Texas Declaration of Independence at Washington-on-the-Brazos, the temporary capital. He wed Laura E. Dougherty and moved to Brazos County in the early 1870s.
