Notes:
Edward's date and place of death have also been reported as 14 September 1690 in Woodstock, Windham Co., CT. The one year difference in year of death means little, but the different place of birth is significant. Edward's two youngest daughters married men from Woodstock, CT and apparently went to live there; one of them died there. Thus Edward might have left Roxbury to live with one of those daughters until he died.
Notes:
The records of Thomas and Grissie associate them with places in Essexshire by seemingly different names: Waltham Abbey - A city on the northern edge of London; Waltham - A short name for Waltham Abbey; Nazeing - A village about five miles north of Waltham Abbey, probably within the Waltham Abbey township or district; Holy Cross - The name of the ancient church in Waltham Abbey. (Actually named for a great flint cross found elsewhere in England in the 11th century. Loaded onto a wagon pulled by twelve oxen, it was destined for a church in central London but upon reaching Waltham Abbey the oxen would go no further. Taken as a sign from heaven, the "holy cross" was left at Waltham Abbey which became a virtual mecca of the faithful for a century thereafter.)
