(From LFNL; v.1,#1): In Hampshire, Edmund was a clothier by trade as was his father before him. The decline of the wool trade probably played a major part in his decision to migrate to America. It is not known when he arrived in the new worldbut it was probably only very shortly before his wife Annis and the six youngest children sailed on the "Bevis" in May of 1638. Edmund was in Wells by 1643. He and his sons established and ran many productive mill sites on the various rivers inthe area. By his death in December of 1661 his estate was worth 588 pounds (UK), a substantial amount for that era.
- (From Noyes, Libby & Davis; Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire; p.437): came 1st to Boston, likely with two oldest sons. Wife Annis (Austin) aged 38 , six children, and servants John Knight and Hugh Durdal followed in the Bevisin May 1638 from Tichfield, co. Hants.
- (From NEHG Register, Vol. 67, October 1913, p. 347): He appears first at Exeter (NH), where he signed the Combination 5 June 1639. He removed to Wells, Me., where he received a grant of land from Thomas Gorges 14 July 1653. As he was hisfather's eldest son and heir, a settlement was probably made on him at the time of his marriage in 1614.
