Elmer (Elmor, Elmore, Elmour, orig. Aylmer), Edward, b. in England; enrolled June 22, 1632, among those about to be conveyed to the plantations in America; he came in the ship Lion, which reached Boston 16 Sept., 1632; sett. first at Newtown (now Cambridge); came to Hartford with Rev. Thomas Hooker's company in 1636; rem. to Northampton abt. 1654; was a first settler there and witness to a deed from the Indians to Maj. John Pyncheon, for the Hartford Co'y, of land comprising the town of Hadley; ret. to Htfd. abt. 1660 and, same yr., became poss. of a large tract of land on E. side Great River, at Podunk, in what is now So. W., and which, with aid of his sons, he began to improve. In 1666 his sons, John and Samuel, resided there, and he was, in 1669, the only freeman of the name in W. In 1672, among those appointed to work the roads in W., were Edward, Sr., Edward, Jr., and John Elmer. He was killed by Indians, in June, 1676 (during the King Philip's War), probably at Podunk, or on his way thither, for he seems to have retained a res. and ppy. in Htfd. until his death. He m. Mary _____, probably after coming to Htfd., who was living 16 Apl., 1677, and is said to have m. (2) Thomas Catlin of Htfd., who was b. 1612, and d. about 1690, having had a first wife, also named Mary. A number of Edw. Elmer's desc. have since res. in (E.) W., and a part of the original purchase of land is still in poss. of the family, by direct inheritance.
There is no credible evidence of his parentage or place of origin.
