Served in King Phillip War

Previous to his father's death, Edmund Fanning had located on his Groton lands, on the west bank of the Upper Mystic, on the original grant of fifty acres to the elder Fanning in 1664. He resided on this farm until his decease about the year 1715. The farm appears to have been allotted to him during his father's lifetime and was confirmed to him at his death, when in the settlement of his estate the sons make acknowledgment in the Probate Court that they are satisfied with the portions that had been allotted to each of them during their father's lifetime.It is to be regretted that the deeds (except the original grant of fifty acres to his father) are not on record showing the acquisition of Edmund Fanning, Junior's, farm. No record exists that can now be found showing purchases of additional land by either father or son. Whether they acquired it by grant or purchase is not clear. It may be that the original grant of fifty acres covered much more than that area, as was frequently the case in early grants. Certain it is, however, that in 1715 Edmund Fanning, Junior's, farm contained about four hundred acres. At his death the farm descended to his two sons Edmund and Jonathan, who, on the first day of July, 1715, agree upon a dividing line between their portions,1 Jonathan taking the northern and Edmund the southern part of the farm. Edmund's share was triangular in shape, and bounded on the west by a brook running into Mystic River, on the east by Mystic River, and north by his brother Jonathan's land. Jonathan's share lay north of Edmund's and extended to Lantern ("Lanthorn") Hill Lower Pond and Lieut. Stanton's land, and was bounded on the west by William Williams' farm, and on the east by Mystic River. This four hundred acres was the homestead farm of Edmund Fanning, Junior, eldest son of Edmund the American ancestor." "History of the Fanning Family, Volume II " Edmund married Margaret Billings, daughter of William Billings and Mary, on 13 Aug 1678.
