HANDWRITTEN GENEALOGY NOTES re DESCENDANTS of WALTER PALMER of 1629 Charlestown

Description

Three Ring Binder filled with Handwritten Notes, Letters, and Ephemera related to Descendants of WALTER PALMER of the 1629 Charlestown, Massachusetts Bay Colony.
Notes were handwritten by, and letters were written to, Muriel Palmer Owen. Based on the USPS date stamps on the letters' envelopes this information was compiled mostly during the 1980s and 1990s.
Muriel Palmer Owen was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and was clearly researching various branches of her ancestry. She died in 2017. This notebook / binder came from her estate.
Three ring binder, stiff covers covered in vinyl, pockets on both the inside front and rear covers, filled with 5.5x8.5 inch paper, plus lots of laid in letters and notes.
There is a paper label taped onto the front cover that has the handwritten title: "Genealogical Records / Muriel P. Owen / Sonoma, CA".
38 of the notebook pages have handwritten genealogical notes relating to the descendants of Walter Palmer. The pages seem to be somewhat alphabetically arranged by family last names, though many are not in their proper order. Family names include Wakeman, Cogswell - Willis, Dailey, Herschker (Husker), Janisch, Mead, Owen, Wells, Truesdell, and others.
Also contains approximately 20 pieces of loose relevant ephemera, including letters from relatives supplying information about the family, and various handwritten notes.
Condition: There are creases, signs of handling, pages pulling from the rings, etc., but all the writing remains clear and fully legible.

Up for sale is a very scarce book summarizing the specific events and transactions that came before a prominent, and perhaps the busiest, notary in Quebec (New France) during a 10 year period spanning the very end of the 17th Century and very beginning of the 18th Century.  It contains very valuable genealogical and historical information.
IMPORTANT NOTE:  THIS BOOK IS ENTIRELY IN THE FRENCH LANGUAGE

Publisher:  Archives de la Province de Quebec
Paperback book.  (About 10.5 inches tall by a little over 7 inches wide.)

NOTE:  This book does not have an Index.  The Index to this volume was apparently published in a subsequent volume of the series.
Notaire Louis Chambalon (1663 - 1716) was born near Poitier, France.  He arrived in the New World in about 1688 working as a clerk-attorney for merchants and then as a merchant himself.  In 1692, he received a commission of "royal notary" (which was confirmed by King Louis XIV in 1694).  He would continue as a notaire for the rest of his life; his clientele included the elite of Quebec society.  The volume I am now selling (Volume XVIII) contains Chambalon's activities between 1692 and 1702.  I believe that the next volume (Volume XIX) covers the second half of Chambalon's career as a notary.
The series "Inventaire des Greffes des Notaires du Regime Francais" comprises 32 volumes.  Some of the volumes contain the records of multiple notaries (who were less prolific than Chambalon).  On the back cover of this book [see photo #8] (and continuing on the inside of the back cover, not pictured) is an alphabetical list of all the included notaries and the volumes in which their records appear (at least up to the issuance of Volume XVIII in 1956).
Volumes 1 through 27 were compiled by the Roys (Pierre-Georges and Antoine) between 1943 and 1976.  Volumes 28 through 32 were prepared at the University of Quebec at Trois-Rivieres.
