  • Notes 
    • Samuel Edson was born in Bridgewater on Jan. 14, 1690. He married Jan. 1, 1708, Mary Dean, born in 1687 in Taunton, the daughter of Benjamin and Sarah [Williams] Dean. He was not quite 18 and she was 20. She was an intelligent and well read woman and their married life was happy. They became interested in the Episcopal Church, and he was induced to give up the religion of his Puritan father and grandfather and to adhere to the Church of England. At the age of 57 years he deeded (Jan. 23, 1747) to a society in England for the propagating of the gospel in foreign parts, 14 acres, the income from which was to be used for the support of public worship in the Protestant Episcopal church in Bridgewater. He is regarded as the founder of Trinity church in that town. "He was reputed an honest man and an exemplary Christian." His wife died Feb. 5, 1770, aged 82, and he died Dec. 27, 1771, aged almost 82. Their children were born in Bridgewater. - Nathan Edson and His Descendants
