Abstract: This manuscript investigates the lives and lineage of two of D.D. Palmer's daughters, Mary Elizabeth and Jessie Catherine. The First Family of Chiropractic is undeniably D.D. Palmer succeeded by B.J.and Mabel Palmer and their son, Daniel David Palmer II. If matrilineal succession had been more common and B.J. less ambitious, the lineage might have followed the Brownell line. By examining a wide range of archival sources, including personal letters, newspaper excerpts, census documents, and published historical accounts of events, we aim to shed light on the lives of the families of two of D.D.'s daughters and draw attention to their contributions.
