Edward Palmer (d.1624)
text:
Edward Palmer was a gentleman with antiquarian interests from Gloucestershire, England. During his life he was known for his extensive collection, notably of Roman coins: William Camden called him "a curious and diligent Antiquarie". He is perhaps best remembered for his purchase of the then-unnamed Garrett Island in the American colony of Virginia, which he designated for the establishment of what would have been the first university in the English colonies.
