One source claimed that Edward was a Huguenot in Salem. However, a quick search through his ancestors took me back to William the Conqueror's men who invaded England long before the Protestant Reformation, so that is highly unlikely.

I found an article that explains the difference between Pilgrims and Puritans that is kind of interesting. It also explains why and how they left England to come to the New World.
Edward's first wife and the mother of his children was Mary. Her maiden name is unknown. He married Elizabeth Baker Metcalf in Salem in 1670. His first wife died in 1668. He died 1684. His second wife Elizabeth died 1686. His daughter Elizabeth married Zachariah Goodale (Goodell) and she is the only child to live to old age and also have children.
