Biography

This is the profile for Edward Winn who lived in Woburn, Massachusetts from the 1640s until his death in 1682.

Date of Birth

Based on a deposition that Edward made on June 17, 1670, in which he testified that he was aged 71,^[1] Edward was probably born about 1599.

Reference in Lechford's Notebook

Lechford's notebook contains a reference to Edward in the text of a letter written by Barnabas Davis of Charlestown on March 22, 1640/1 in connection with Davis' efforts to obtain compensation for his employment by the brothers William Woodcock and John Woodcock. As summarized by Anderson in his profile of Barnabas Davis in The Great Migration, Davis made several Atlantic crossings between 1635 and 1640 in the employ of the Woodcock brothers: first about Easter time in 1635 (returning to England in March 1635/6), then again about Easter time in 1636 (returning to England about September 1637), and finally leaving again for New England in June 1639.^[2] In a letter written on March 22, 1640/1 by Davis (then a resident of Charlestown, Massachusetts) to Richard Lygon of Madresfield, Worcestershire, trying to enlist Lygon's assistance is collecting compensation for his employment by the Woodcocks, Davis included the following sentence:

And you may remember I hired Edward Winne and another young man Carpenters at Broughton servants for me in New England & brought them to London wth Winnes family at my owne charges wch servants because Mr. Woodcocke fayled to pay me my money wch he owed me I was forced to put away to one Roger Hogge aftewards they were againe assigned to me & Mr. John Woodcocke by the same Roger Hogge Mr. Woodcocke laying down one half of the money yet if his business of impaling did not goe on then I was to have the servants myselfe & allow him his money I shall beseech you to talk with him about this partuclare of the servants & to take notice of his answere therein whether it were so or no.^[3]

The proposition that this reference to Edward Winne refers to this profile's Edward Winn is supported by the fact that the referenced Edward Winne and this profile's Edward Winn were both carpenters and the fact that Barnabas Davis settled in Charlestown in 1639, where this profile's Edward Winn initially settled.

Residency in England

The passage in Barnabas Davis's letter referencing "Edward Winne and another young man Carpenters at Broughton" is strong evidence that Edward was living at a town named Broughton prior to leaving for New England. Unfortunately, there are dozens of places in England and Wales called Broughton.^[4] It is reasonable, however, to assume that the Broughton that Davis was referring to would have been one that both Davis and the recipient of the letter, Richard Lygon, would have been familiar with. Since none of the Broughtons are significant towns, this suggests that the referenced Broughton was one close to Davis' English residence in Tewksbury, Gloucestershire and Lygon's residence in Madresfield, Worcestershire (about 14 miles north of Tewksbury). Three Broughtons have been found that are close to Tewksbury and Madresfield: Drakes Broughton, Worcestershire (11 miles east of Madresfield and 12 miles north of Tewksbury), Broughton Hackett, Worcestershire (11 miles northeast of Madresfield and 17 miles north of Tewkesbury) and Broughton Green, Droitwich, Worcestershire (15 miles northeast of Madresfield and 22 miles north of Tewkesbury). Of the three, only Broughton Hackett meritted an entry in the 1848 Topographical Dictionary of England.^[5] It is thus reasonably likely that, before emigrating to New England, this profile's Edward Winn lived in Worcestershire and, perhaps more particularly, in Broughton Hackett.

Place of Birth

Many online genealogies state that Edward was born in Ipswich, Suffolk. That claim appears to be based on (1) a 1759 letter by the great, grandson of Moses Cleveland that Moses came from Ipswich and that he came to New England as an apprentice with his master^[6] and (2) the statement in The Genealogy of the Cleveland and Cleaveland Families that his master is conjectured to have been Edward Winn (whose daughter Moses later married).^[7][8] However, (1) no evidence has been found that confirms the claim in the 1759 letter that Moses Cleveland came from Ipswich or, more importantly, that he had resided at Ipswich before leaving for New England, (2) no evidence has been found that confirms the claim in the 1759 letter that Moses Cleveland emigrated with his master, (3) no evidence has been found that establishes that Edward Winn was Moses Cleveland's master and (4) no evidence has been found that connects Edward Winn to Ipswich.^[3]

Based on the discussion above regarding Edwin's place of residence before emigrating to New England, it is perhaps most likely the Edward was born in Worcestershire, perhaps in or near Broughton Hackett.

Parentage

Edward's parentage has not been determined. The authors of The Genealogy of the Cleveland and Cleaveland Families stated that they had no definite account of his ancestry, but noted that Burke's Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Commmoners of Great Britain and Ireland shows that Mary Berkeley, daughter of Rowland Berkeley and Catherine Hayward, married Edward Wynne, esq., of Thornton Curtis, in Lincolnshire.^[9] That caused some incautious genealogists to state that Edward's parents were Edward Wynne and Mary Berkeley and others to copy them. However, other sources says that the man who married Mary Berkeley, daughter of Rowland Berkeley, was named Edmund (not Edward) Winn and that that Edmund Winn was born in 1583 (too late to have been the father of an Edward Winn born about 1599) and only had sons named George, Rowland and Mark.^[10] Moreover, no evidence has been found that suggests any connection between this profile's Edward Winn and Edmund/Edward Wynne/Winn of Thornton Curtis, Lincolnshire.

An online database search for births or baptisms of an Edward Winn (and variants thereof) in 1594-1604 found the following possible candidates:

• Edward David or Wynne or John, son of John David or Wynne, bpt. June 27, 1596 at Whittington, Shropshire^[11]
• Edward Whin, son of Thomas and Marie Whin, bpt. July 1598 at Soham Cambridgeshire^[12]
• Edward Wyn, son of William Wyn, bpt. August 20, 1598 at Upton with Fishley, Norfolk^[13]
• Edward Gwyn, son of Hughe Gwyn, bpt. November 18, 1600 at Ruabon, Denbighshire^[14]
• Edward Wyne, son of Richard and Helene Wyne, bpt. December 14, 1600 at Burton Latimer, Northamptonshire^[15]
• Edward Wynn, son of John Wynn, bpt. February 17, 1601/2 at Kirkby Wharfe, Yorkshire^[16]
• Edward Wyn, son of Edward Wyn, bpt. December 25, 1603 at Chalgrove Oxfordshire^[17]
• Edward Winn, son of Richard Winn, bpt. December 12, 1604 at Lingwood, Norwich, Norfolk^[18]

No evidence connecting this profile's Edward Winn to any of the above-listed possible baptismal records has yet been identified, and none of the baptismal records is from Worcestershire, Edward's most likely county of birth (or from Suffolk, for that matter).

Emigration to New England; First Evidence of Presence in New England

According to Barnabas Davis' letter in Lechford's notebook, sometime after Davis returned to England about September 1637 and before Davis left again for New England in June 1639, Davis engaged Edward and another carpenter from Broughton as servants for the purpose of coming with him to New England to work on a project for John Woodcock, and paid for Edward and his family to come to London in preparation for the trip. When Woodcock failed to pay Davis for his expenses, Davis was forced to assign Edward and the other carpenter to Roger Hogg for a brief period of time. After a brief engagement with Hogg, Edward and the other carpenter were reassigned to Davis and John Woodcock, with Woodcock paying half the servants costs.^[3] When Davis left for New England in June 1639 (presumably from London) and came to settle in Charlestown,^[2] it is likely that Edward and his family joined him. However, there is no evidence establishing that Edward was in New England until later, and it is unclear whether Edward's engagement with Roger Hogge occurred in England or New England.

The evidenced often cited as proviing that Edward was in New England at least by the end of 1640, fails to do so. Edward was one of the signers of the "Town Orders for Woburn, Agreed Upon by the Commissioners at Their First Meeting, December 18, 1640."^[19] The Genealogy of the Cleveland and Cleaveland Families claims that Edward was one of the Commissioners and thus present at the meeting at Mr. Thomas Graves' house in Charlestown on December 18, 1640 at which the orders were agreed upon.^[8] That assertion is incorrect, however, as Edward was merely one of the subscribers to the orders, not one of the Commissioners.^[20] According to History of Woburn, at meetings in the [two months following the December meeting of the Commissioners], "they admitted many to set down their dwellings in the proposed plantation." It is thus likely that Edward subscribed to the orders in January or February 1640/1, but it is possible that he subscribed at a later date. The fact that the December 1641 birth of son Increase was recorded in the Woburn town records^[21] indicates that Edward was, in any event, almost certainly in New England prior to the winter of 1641-1642.

Residency in Charlestown

Edward may well have been a resident of Charlestown as early as July 1639 when Barnabas Davis became a resident there^[2] and was probably a resident of Charlestown at the time he subscribed to the Worburn town orders, as most, but perhaps not all, of the subscribers were Charlestown residents. Since Woburn was part of Charlestown and not incorporated as a separate town until October 1642,^[22] Edward was technically a resident of Charlestown until that date.

Removal to and Residency at Woburn

The Genealogy of the Cleveland and Cleaveland Families claims that Edward was "evidently, from and after Feb., March or May, 1640-1, of Woburn, Mass."^[8] Those dates are almost certainly at least a bit too early. The Genealogy of the Cleveland and Cleaveland Families correctly paraphrases (without citation) History of Woburn to say that the Commissioners went to what would become Woburn to find a location for the new settlement in February 1640/1, that the Commissioners laid out house lots there in March and May, and that "buildings were doubtless erected during the year."^[23] From this, the most that can be said is that some people probably moved to what-would-become the town of Woburn sometime in the later part of 1641. The fact that the December 5, 1641 birth of son Increase was recorded in the Woburn town records^[21] indicates that Edward was probably in what-would-become the town of Woburn by that date. Since Woburn was not incorporated as a separate town apart from Charlestown until October 1642,^[22] from a technical standpoint, Edward was not a resident of the town of Woburn until that later date.

After his settlement at Woburn, Edward appears to have lived there continuously at least until his marriage to his third wife, probably in 1680.^[24]

Occupation; Public Life

Edward was carpenter by trade.^[3][25] He was admitted as a freeman of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1643,^[26] chosen by the town of Woburn as a surveyor of sales for 1658^[27] and chosen as one of the town Selectmen in 1669.^[28]

Marriages

Edward's first known wife was named Joanna. The only record of her is an entry in the Woburn vital records for her death on March 8, 1648/9.^[29] Some online genealogies claim that Joanna's maiden name was Sargent; however, no reliable evidence for that claim has been found. Assuming that Joanna was the mother of Edward's eldest known child (Ann, born, say 1626), Edward and Joanna were probably marriage about 1625 somewhere in England or Wales, most likely in Worcestershire.

Edward married, next, Sarah Beal in Woburn on August 10, 1649.^[30] Sarah died in Woburn on March 15, 1679/80.^[29]

Edward married, last, Anna (Unknown) (Page) Wood. Their marriage is established by the 1686 inventory of Anna's estate, which describes her as "Anna Winn the widdow relict of Edward Winn late of Obourne decd, als widdow relict of Nicholas Wood of Boglestow decd, als widdow relict of William Page, sometime of watertowned decd".^[31] If Genealogies of the Families and Descendants of the Early Settlers of Watertown, Massachusetts is correct that Edward moved to Watertown after his marriage to Anna,^[32] they were married sometime between March 1679/80 (when his wife Sarah died) and May 6, 1680 (when Edward Winn "of Watertown" made his will).

Children

Edward had the following children, all of whom were the children of his wife Joanna (unless he had an earlier wife):

1. Ann, b. say 1626 probably in England or Wales,^[8] m. September 26, 1648 Moses Cleveland in Woburn,^[30][8] d. probably prior to May 6, 1682 in Woburn^[33]
2. Elizabeth, b. say 1628 probably in England or Wales, m. May 21, 1649 George Polly in Woburn, d. May 2, 1695 in Woburn. (See discussion and sources in Elizabeth's profile.)
3. Joseph, b. probably sometime in 1630-1635 in England or Wales,^[8] m. about 1664 Rebekah Reade/Reed,^[34] d. February 22, 1714/5 in Woburn^[34]
4. Increase, b. December 5, 1641 in Woburn,^[21] m. July 13, 1665 Hannah Sactell/Sawtell/Satall in Woburn,^[35][36] d. December 14, 1690 in Woburn^[36]

Some online genealogies say that Edward also had a daughter named Sarah, but there is no evidence to support that claim and it is probably the result of a confusion with Sarah, the daughter of his son Joseph, who received a bequest from Edward in his will.^[25]

Residency in Watertown

Edward's May 1680 will describes him as "of the Towne of Watertowne,"^[25] indicating that he was a resident there at the time. Genealogies of the Families and Descendants of the Early Settlers of Watertown, Massachusetts suggests that, after Edward's marriage to Anna Wood, he moved to Watertown because Anna's estate was there.^[32] He probably continued to live there until his death.

Will; Death; Estate

Edward made his will on May 6, 1680. In his will, he is described as "Edward Winne of the Towne of Watertowne in New England Carpenter." He named his son Increase Winn as executor and made bequests to son Increase Winn, the rest of his children (unnamed), Sarah the daughter of son Joseph, the three youngest children of son[-in-law] Moyses Cleveland, and the three youngest children of son[-in-law] George Polly. He named his son Increase Winn as executor and friends Deacon Josiah Converse, Ensigne James Converse and William Johnson as overseers. The will was witnessed by Thomas Peirce, Joshua Fordges and Rachell Pierse.^[25]

Edward died on September 5, 1682.^[37][29] His death was recorded in the Woburn vital records, but based on his residency in Watertown at the time he made his will, he may have actually died there.

The inventory of Edward's estate was taken by Deacon Josiah Converse and Ensigne James Converse on September 11, 1682 and totalled £160.04.06, including a dwelling house and 12 acres of adjoining land (£45), 43.5 acres in additional lots (£39.15), a yoke of oxen, four cows and a calf (£20), four sheep and a mare (£3), farm equipment, household equipment and items, books, arms and ammunition, lumber, and silver.^[25]

Edward's will was proved and inventory sworn to on October 3, 1682.^[25]
