Edward Gove, father of Ebenezer. was born in 1639. He settled in Hampton, New Hampshire, became very prominent citizen. (See histories of Cambridge and Watertown, Massachusetts; Hampton, New Hampshire, and Salisbury, Massachusetts). He headed a movement to overthrow Governor Cranfield of New Hampshire. The effort failed and he & 10 others, including his son John, were tried for treason. He was sentenced to death & his estate seized; the others were convicted but pardoned. He spent three years in prison in the Tower of London, but was finally pardoned and his estates restored. He is the ancestor of all the New Hampshire and Maine families of which any record can be found and it is fair to conclude that he must be the progenitor of the Edgecomb branch. Moreover he had a son Ebenezer, and there seems good reason to believe that he was grandfather of Captain Ebenezer.
