1690, we gain the names of all, Edmund; Samuel, b. 1660; Jonathan;
George; David; Robert; Joseph; Eliz. Davis; and Hannah, w.
of John Brunson; yet we shall not be justif. in suppos. this to be the
order of success. exc. that the two s. last nam. were by sec. w. nor will
conject. be reasona. to determine the priority of the d. whose h.'s name
is not seen. Positive informat. however, is afford. on two points, that he
was an orig. propr. of Waterbury, and there d. 1691. EDMUND, Waterbury,
s. of the preced. m. June 1689, the wid. of Benjamin Porter, who d. 17 Jan.
1749, had a s. b. Oct. 1690, wh. d. in few wks.; Sarah, 29 Jan. 1692; Samuel,
Sept. 1694; Eliz. 1 Mar. 1697; Hannah, June 1700; Edmund, 10 May 1703;
John, 21 Sept. 1707; and Jonathan, 4 Aug. 1711; and d. 20 July 1746. EDWARD,
ask. for gr. at New London 1651, yet did not impr. it, when giv.
not however tempt. towards Hadley, where he first is heard of as serv.
of Joseph Kellogg 1662, and where was ano. EDWARD, wh. was he
prob. that m. 1670, Elizabeth Webster, perhaps d. of Gov. John, had Elizabeth
b. 1671; Sarah, 1674; Thomas, 1675; John, 1677; Ebenezer, 1681;
Bridget and Ann, tw. 1682; and Hannah, 14 Mar. 1689. His w. d.
two days aft. aged 40; and he rem. perhaps to New Haven, where one
Edward was excus. in 1703 from train. in the milit. so leav. us to infer,
that he was over 60 yrs. of age. GEORGE, New Haven, a gunsmith,
in 1690, had not, nor any other of this surname, been propr. 1685.
GEORGE, Waterbury, s. of Edmund, m. Aug. 1691, Mary, d. of Obadiah
Richards, had Obadiah, George, and William; and d. 26 Sept. 1724.
JOHN, the freem. in Mass. of 22 May 1639, then spelt in Secr.'s list with
a k, and JOHN, the freem. of 10 May 1643, aft. many hours of very dilig.
scrutiny, elude my skill in search. for the resid. of either; but strong
reasons lead me to believe that neither of them was of the three foll.
JOHN, Salem, 1648, serv. of Lawrence Southwick, the Quaker, may have
gone to Providence, and by w. Rebecca there had Sarah, b. 29 Sept.
1662; John, 14 Mar. 1664; Mary, 1 Feb. 1666; Catharine, 20 May
1668; Deborah, 24 Dec. 1669; and Syvanus, 10 Nov. 1672. He took
o. of alleg. to Charles II. in 1668. JOHN, Charlestown 1658, d. 25 Jan.
1682, aged 75, says the gr.st. JOHN, Springfield, m. 20 July 1659, Sarah,
d. of Thomas Bliss, had Sarah, b. 19 Oct. 1663; John, 4 Jan. 1666, perhaps,
but the last fig. is uncert.; Hannah, 16 Oct. 1668; Margaret, 8
Feb. 1671; Ebenezer, 3 Aug. 1673, William, 8 Aug. 1676; Mary, 29
Dec. 1678; rem. to Suffield, there had Elizabeth 2 Sept. 1683; and he d. 2
Jan. 1690. His wid. m. the same yr. Samuel Terry, and d. 27 Sept.
1705. Of the s. William only, one of the first sett. at Palmer, had ch.
Sarah m. 9 Feb. 1680, Benjamin Leonard; Hannah m. 31 Oct. 1695,
John Fowler; Margaret m. but the name of her h. is not kn.; Mary m.
July 1701, Ebenezer Nash; and Elizabeth m. 1708, Jonathan Worthington.
