Wife not shown as Dorothy Raymond of Glastonbury. FamilyTree (PID MYX3-BFK) and FindAGrave (Edward Faulkner memorial 13984596, suggest Glastonbury's George Raymond/Rayment's daughter Dorothy was an early New England immigrant, m (1) Joseph Robinson, m (2) Edward Faulkner (PID L87J-BJW). Profile of the latter includes, "The marriage of Edmond Faulkner with Miss Dorothy Robinson, Feb. 4, 1647, was the first recorded in Andover, the ceremony being performed by John Winthrop."
A prior version of this profile reported Edward's wife was baptized "11 May of 1624 at Glaston, Somerset, England," but no source for this claim is shown.
The identity of Glastonbury's George Rayment's daughter Dorothy is shown by his 1651 will.[7] She is then Dorothy Robyns of Streete, presumably Street, Somerset, located about 2 miles from Glastonbury.
Various other sources that had been reported on this profile also confuse Dorothy's identity.
