Exerpt from "The Story of the Gilmans and a Gilman Genealogy.....":M. abt. 1646 at Ipswich, Elizabeth Smith, dau. of Richard Smith of Ipswich, Mass., who presented them with a place in that town. Edward later sold this to his own father, having moved to Exeter in 1647, where he obtained rights to erecg and operate saw mills. In 1651 he had upon the stocks a vessel of about 50 toms burden, probably for the export of lumber along the coast. He was active, enterprising and judicious and immediately became a popular and leading citizen. Grants of land were repeatedly made to him, the last of which was on May 10, 1652, which was the same day his father and young brother Moses were accepted as townsmen. In 1653 Edward went to England for mill gearing and was lost at sea. His business was taken over by his brother John, and his family, consisting of his wife and three small sons, were cared for by both of his brothers. It is not known how long his wife survived him. His father died a short time later.

Edward married Elizabeth SMITH about 1646 in Ipswich, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
