"Here Lieth the body of M. Edward Dewolf Who died March the 24 1712, in the 66 year of his Age", which would make his approximate year of birth 1646. The gravestone is legible if you click on the photo. The surname is a very old one in the Lyme area, and has been spelled in various ways. Kathleen Peck Probasco emailed the following information to me: "'Family-Histories and Genealogies' by Edward Elbridge Salisbury, 1892, says the author was sent the autographs of Balthasar DeWolf and his son Edward, written thus: 'Baltasar dewolf' and 'Edward dewolfe'. That same source and others, shows Edward 'born about 1646,' with Balthasar and wife Alice married in 1645." Thanks for the info, Kathy.
