5 Edmund1 Tapp (EdmundA, RobertB, SimonC?) was probably born in or near Felmersham, Bedfordshire, about 1592 based on his age in the deposition. He lived for some time in the parishes of Great Haddam and Ware in Bedfordshire [Hertfordshire] before settling in Bennington, Hertfordshire, by 1623 or 1624. He sailed for New England on 31 May 1637 and arrived on 31 July. He initially settled in New Haven, Connecticut. He was one of the founders of Milford, Connecticut, on 20 November 1639 and appointed one of its Judges for Civil Affairs. He was admitted to the church in Milford on the date of its founding, 22 August 1639. He died at New Haven before 1 April 1653, when his will was proved … Edmund Tapp left a will which has since been lost. The New Haven Colony records indicate that the will was proved on 1 April 1653. The will may have included bequests to his grandchildren, as the wills of two of his sons-in-law, William Gibbard and John Nash, mention that some of their daughters received £5 from their grandfather Tapp, which were apparently to be held by their fathers until their marriages. These gifts sound very much like bequests. However, note that Gibbard's will mentions that his son Samuel had also received £5 from his grandmother Tapp, who was still living, so these gifts may have been made during Edmund's lifetime. The inventory was taken 26 April 1653 and showed a valuation of £713 1s. 4d."
