| Notes |
- Older brother Edward emigrated from Wales to America 24 Oct. 1635 with John Griffin
Edward - b. 1601-2, Walton, Pembrokeshire, Wales. As a constable at London, Edward killed a man in
a tavern, an act pardoned on July 1, 1625 as justifiable manslaughter by King Charles 1. Edward was in Yorkshire in 1632, and sailed from England on August 24, 1635 aboard the ABRAHAM en route to
Virginia. He and brother John were in the employ of Capt. CLAIRBORNE, Secretary of the Virginia
Colony, when the Captain's Virginia traders were seized by Lord BALTIMORE of Maryland in June
1638. Edward was captured and taken to Maryland, later escaping to the Dutch Colony of New
Amsterdam, and settling at Flushing Long Island, NY about 1657. Edward joined the Society of Friends.
Married at Flushing, NY to Mary (b. about 1630, probably in Wales; d. after 1700, probably at Flushing, Long Island, NY). Children include: John; and Richard married Susariria HAIGHT.
