Biography
Edward was born about 1642. He was first taxable in Francis Pigot's Northampton County household in 1677 [Orders 1674-79, 191]. Pigot bequeathed him to his son Thomas Pigot in 1684 [OW 1683-9, 119-123]. He was called the "Negro slave to Mr. Thomas Pigot" on 29 September 1687 when he received thirty lashes for insolently abusing and striking a white woman named Elizabeth Sterling [OW 1683-89, 299-300, 309]. In 1714 he and William Whitehead posted bond for the maintenance of his grandchild, the child of his "mulatto" daughter Hannah [Orders 1711-16, 149]. The inventory of his Northampton County estate was recorded on 13 February 1727/8 [Wills, Deeds 1725-33, 104-5]. He passed away after 1736. [1]
