Frances Blossom Palmer came to America in 1623 aboard the "Anne". The Genealogical Register of Plymouth Families page 197 says that Henry and Bridget are the children of a second marriage. This conflicts with other sources.

Blossom name does not seem to be confirmed by any documentation, but she is said to be the daughter of Deacon Thomas Blossom and his wife. Banks stated that she was “much younger” than William and thus she may not have been the mother of Sarah. However, the given names of Henry and Bridget (the names of the younger children) appear frequently in the Blossom family. (Colonial Genealogist XII: 1-2)
