J. Palmer owned land. Nankin included what is now Wayne, Westland and I think part or all of Garden City. I found a Dennison Palmer mention at the following website in relation to the general area. http://www.geocities.com/michhist/westland.html Does Garden City has a historical society or does its library have any information?
