Edmund Towne

( - Bef 3 May 1678)

From WikiTree Towne-67: Immigration to New England in 1637- This is disputed by Lois Payne Hoover in Town Family (2010) on page 103: "No record has been found in Great Yarmouth of an Edmund Towne being apprenticed to Henry Skerry who was a cordwainer. The baptism/birth year of Edmund is not in doubt, but it would mean he was apprenticed at age nine. This was not done with the apprentices of cordwainers - children were not taken as their apprentices. The passenger Edmund with the cordwainer Skerry was written as "age 18" on the list of passengers, who were examined upon boarding. They would not have mistaken a nine year old boy for an eighteen year old man. Lois Hoover's conclusion from this and other logic is that Edmund Towne arrived with his parents like most other children. [Their ship log has not been discovered.]"

Two of his sisters, Rebecca and Mary, were convicted as witches and hung during the Salem witch trials in 1692.
