m Hannah BURROUGHS b: 14 Aug 1678 in Jamaica, Long Island, Queens, NY
In accordance with his father's last will and testament he was brought up to a trade by Jehial Preston, with whom he remained until he became of age. Edward, Jr., drew eighteen acres of land in the land division in Woodbury in 1702, from which it appears he might have been in Woodbury for a short time; but it is evident he lived and died at Stratford, where all his children were born and where some of their descendants are (1907) yet found. He was one of the first Episcopalians in Connecticut and signed the first petition to sift out the churchmen for the Congregationalists in that colony. In 1717 he was licensed to make cornstalk molasses within the county of Fairfield for the next ten years, provided he should "make as good molasses, and as cheap, as comes from the West Indies." [PRCC 1717-1725]
His wife Hannah's brother, John, was married to Edward Jr.'s sister, Patience.
