    22. Captain Edward Convers5 (Ensign Edward4 (14), Samuel3, Sergeant Samuel2, Deacon Edward1), baptized 8 November 1720, at Killingly, Conn. He married Mary Davis, whose father, Samuel Davis, had bought a large tract of land on French River in 1715, and had died in 1727. Mr. Converse occupied a fine farm on the river, received, as he stated, from "our father Davis' estate". He united with the church in 1741, and was often engaged in promoting the affairs of the society. In 1761 he was appointed Captain of the 7th Company 11th Regiment Militia (Family History of Deacons James W. and Elisha S. converse, by Wm. G. Hill). There is no record of him in Killingly or Thompson, Conn., after 1761. He died in Windsor, Mass., 9 Dec 1800, and the records of the town of Gageborough, Mass. (afterwards called Windsor), include the following regarding Capt. Edward Convers5 and wife Mary:

    [Note: cites Converse but says, p. 42, "the dates sometimes differs with other sources and are in parentheses". Since we know what Converse says, other dates apparently come from the other cited sources, included in the abstract below. Unfortunately, a transcription of Killingly Church Records found does not have any baptisms in 1720, as if some records skipped or out of order, so unable to verify alternate date.]
