Edward Colcord
Born: About 1617 England
Married:
Died: February 10, 1682 Hampton, New Hampshire
Father: Unknown
Mother: Unknown
Wife: Ann (probably Warde) - Immigrated around 1630 or 1631. He later stated that
when he arrived "there were...but three houses in all that side of the
country adjoining Pascataqua River". He was a well known earlier
colonist, but was frequently getting into arguments with his neighbors and
townsman that led to frequent visits and complaints in court. His wife
and him even fought publically enough and frequently enough for the court
to intervene. Edward Colcord was found drunk on occasion, even in court.
Children:
Mary Colcord b.1649
Notes:
- April 8, 1673 deposed that he was about fifty-six years old
- His wife's name appears as Ann Page in a great man records, and
there is also authors who name her as Ann Nunn or Ann Wadd. In 1987,
William H. Jones wrote an article for the NEHGR identifying her most
reasonably as Ann Warde, daughter of Francis Warde and Susanna Browne of
Filby, Norfolk, England. Francis Warde was the son of Robert Warde and
Alyce, and Robert the son of Roger Warde + Kateryn.
