  • Notes 
    • Thomas Edwards is mentioned frequently in East Hampton records, often in real estate transactions.
      On 28 July 1676, he received land by deed of gift from his father William Edwards, and on 19 March 1696, he sold land given him by his father to Nathaniel Barnes (Recs. of Town of East Hampton, vol. 2, p.236). He died 16 April 1697.
      In his will, dated 20 January 1697, he mentioned his wife Abigail, his sons Ephraim, Thomas, Daniel, and William, and his daughters Alec (Alice), Jane, Elizabeth, and Esther. Of these, his son Ephraim was made executor and his sons Thomas and William are not mentioned in the list of seven children who were made residuary legatees (Ibid. vol. 2, pp.385-87).
