Henry was the sixth and youngest child born to Abiel W. and Celura (Tuttle) Palmer. His father, a Baker, was born in New York City and his mother at Hartford, CT.

The family resided at 29 Tyler St., close by Boston's current Chinatown neighborhood, where Henry was both born and died. His death at nine months was due to Cholera Infantum, a deadly bacterial infection for which there was no known cure and which claimed 20 other very young children in the city that week. Boston death records confirm that Henry was interred in Tomb 79 at the Central Burying Ground.
