Edward, s/o Isaac Winslow and Sarah Wensley, b. Marshfield 1713, d. Halifax 9 Jun 1784, aged 71 years, m. Hannah (Howland) Dyer. St. Paul's graveyard, opposite Government House in Halifax: "Sacred to the memory of Edward Winslow, Esquire, who died the 9th of June, 1784, in the 72nd year of his age. Descended from a race of ancestors, Governors of the ancient Colony of Plymouth, he in no one instance degenerated from the loyalty or virtue, but while he filled the first offices, became as conspicuous by public integrity as he was amiable in the milder shades of private life. Although his fortunes suffered shipwreck in the storm of Civil War, and he forsook his native country from an attachment to his sovereign, neither his cheerful manners nor the calm reward of conscious rectitude forsook him in old age. He died as he lived, beloved by his friends and respected by his enemies."
