• Notes

  "It is not known exactly when Edward came to New England. The first record we have of him is on a record when he took the oath of fidelity, 18 October 1648, as an inhabitant of New Haven. The earliest mention of his name after that on the New Haven records, is in a volume of miscellaneous transactions or 'Estate Settlements,' p. 225, dated 3 November 1657, when as a planter he makes deposition: 'That in the Spring last he sewed about 2 acres of Pease in his lott, and after they were come up Ther came in hoggs at Stendman's fence and spoyled them--so that he had not above two bushels of pease of them; but he then got the damage viewed by John Coopr and Samuel Whitehead, who judged his loss at least six bushels of pease, which he hath demanded of Mr. Stendham.'"
