2018 Palmer/Parmer Reunion Hotel and Banquet Information

The Palmer/Parmer Family Reunion is held by the descendants of Martin Parmer (born Martin Palmer) 1778-1850. Originally a frontiersman and Indian fighter known as the Ring Tailed Panther, Martin Parmer was a key player in every major political event of the Texas Revolution including the Consultation of 1835 at San Felipe, the General Council of the Texas Provisional Government and the Convention at Washington-on-the-Brazos in March 1836. He had also been a leader during the Fredonian Rebellion in 1826-1827. He nominated Henry Smith to be the first American born Governor of Texas, he voted to create the Texas Rangers, he seconded Sam Houston's motion to adopt the Texas Declaration of Independence from Mexico, and he was chairman of the committee that drafted the Constitution of the Republic of Texas.
