Biography

Edward was born on 21 November 1824 in New Jersey.^[1] He was the son of Edward Wilmot and Rachel Haywood.

He was a tailor who married Letitia Keller on 14 June 1849. In 1850, they lived in Yardley, Pennsylvania, just 5 miles northwest of Trenton, New Jersey. Over the next 12 years, he and Letitia had six children:

• William Heywood Wilmot Sr (1850-1928)
• Alfred H Wilmot (1851-52)
• Charles H Wilmot (1852-?)
• Joseph A Wilmot (1856-?)
• Catherine L (Kate) Wilmot (1858-1948)
• John A Wilmot (1862-63)

By 1860, he moved his family to Ewing Township, New Jersey, which was a bit closer to Trenton. In 1863, after the outbreak of the U.S. civil war, he was registered for military service.

A year later, in 1864, he died and was buried in Saint Andrew's Church Cemetery in Yardley, Pennsylvania.^[1]
