Biography
Edward Weeden was born in 1613 in England. There is no evidence to support a birth location or his parents.[1]
In 1635, his age was listed as 22 when he boarded the "Susan & Ellin" for New England. [2]
Anderson provides evidence that Edward Weeden came to New England as a servant of Robert Keayne. He based this on a 1657 accounting for an item in Robert Keayne's estate "to Goodman Weeden". Also there is no evidence that he held any land until he received the bequest in the will of his father-in-law.[1]
1639: Edward was a carpenter by trade.[1] He was listed in 1639 in Lechford's notes as being given 4 days of work associated with a debt due to John Fuller from Richard Brooks.[3] A footnote includes the facts that Richard Brooks lived in Lynn sometime before removing to Long Island. Edward Weeden - generally called of Boston - came from England in the same ship (Susan & Ellen) as RIchard Brooks.
1641: Edward is admitted as a Townsman in Boston.[4][5]
1642: By 1642 Edward married Elizabeth Cole the daughter of Samuel Cole in Boston.[1][6][7]
1654: Edward was elected highway surveyor at the town meeting on March 12, 1654/55. (pg. 122)[4]
- 1663: On March 30, 1663 Edward is allowed £6 per year for the "dyate and lodging" of Elizabeth Ward to be paid by the Towne Treasurer, this yeare to begin the 30: 1 mo. : 63..[8][5]
1666: On April 21, 1666 Elizabeth Weeden was admitted to the Boston church. On June 17, 1666 Elizabeth, Sara, Mary, Ann, and Edward the children of Elizabeth and Edward were baptized.[1]
1666: Samuel Cole passed away and in his will of December 21, 1666, he bequeathed to "my daughter Elizabeth Weeden that land of mine at Rumney Marsh which at present her husband and she lives upon, and have done for some years past..".[1][6]
