Edward married first to a daughter of William and Mary Wynn of Queenston (Niagara), Ontario--possibly named Sarah. He married second to Sarah Bloomfield.
His obituary in the St. Joseph [Michigan] Saturday Herald of 8 Aug. 1860 reports that he was born in Essex Co., NJ, in 1776, and served in the U.S. Army during the Pennsylvania Insurrection (a.k.a. Whiskey Rebellion) of 1794. He does appear to have served from New Jersey in this conflict, however; so he may have been living elsewhere at that time (e.g., New York or Pennsylvania). The obituary indicates that he subsequently joined a government surveying expedition in western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio. He was in Queenston, Upper Canada (Ontario) by 1806 and served as a private in the 2nd Regiment, Lincoln Militia, during the War of 1812. He was granted 400 acres in Chinguacousy & Stamford in 1816 for military service. In 1828, he was listed as a "sedentary member" of the 2nd Battalion, Lincoln Militia.
Edward and his second wife moved to Berrien Co., Michigan, with his son John about 1850.
