| 6756 | From New London Records for 1673: John Edgecombe sonn of Nicholas Edgecombe of Plymouth in Old England was marryed to Sarah - ye daughter Edward Stallion ye 9th of November. The New London Edgecomb Family I then turned to the Connecticut Edgecombs. Charles A. Converse in Converse Family and Allied Families (Boston 1905), hereafter Converse, reports on research into the Edgecomb family of New London CT and Plymouth, England, co. Devon, done by Ebon Putnam. No hint of Edgecombs in Connecticut other than those descended from the first John Edgecomb (d. 1721) can be found in this work. Frances Manwaring Caulkins gives the history of the New London Edgecomb family but she does not indicate that there were any Edgecombs in Connecticut other than those to be found in the New London area (History of New London, Conn. [New London 1852], hereafter Caulkins New London, p. 366). There is one cryptic reference in the Public Records of the Colony of Connecticut (15:545) to a Richard Edgecomb, who was appointed sheriff of New London, in 1693 by Sir Edmund Andros at a Council at the Town House in Hartford, but I could find no further record of him in town records, town histories, or any other records in the Connecticut sate Library. This lack of evidence of Edgecombs in Connecticut other than the New London family led me to examine the family to see if John Edgecomb of New Hartford could fit among them. John Edgecomb (d. New London 1721) was identified in his marriage record as son of "Nicholas, of Plymouth, Old England" and probably arrived in New London about 1672, as he married Sarah Stallion 9 Feb. 1673.4 (CT VR Barbour, New London:106). John and Sarah had at least seven children ("Ebenhaley" listed in Barbour is a misreading of "Nicholas"): Margaret bp. 1674 (C.D. Parkhurst, "Parkhurst Manuscript of Early Families of New London," 36 vol., Connecticut State Library, LDS film, hereafter Parkhurst, 11:1), John, b. 14 Nov. 1675, Sarah b. 29 July 1678, Johanna b. 3 March 1679/80, Nicholas b. 23 Jan. 1681/2 (all in CT VR Barbour, New London:106-107), and Samuel and Thomas, listed in their father’s will, but births not recorded. The latter two, throughout long and active lives, left a trail of other records. Sometime before 1704 Sarah (Stallion) Edgecomb died, for on 4 January of that year John Edgecomb (d. 1721) married Elizabeth Larrabee Hempstead, widow of Joshua Hempstead and mother of the diarist of the same name. John was listed as her husband when she sold land 1 April 1704 as administratrix of the estate of Joshua Hempstead (Records of the Connecticut Court of Assistants, 2:146-147). There were no children of this marriage as Elizabeth was beyond childbearing years (her first child by Hempstead was baptized 1670 according to Parkhurst, the noted New London genealogist [NYGBR 51:262]). John died 11 April 1721, and his will was probated three days later (Diary of Joshua Hempstead, New London Co. Hist. Soc. Coll., vol. 1 [1901]), hereafter Hempstead Diary, p. 108; CT PR New London Dist. #1872). The will of John Edgecomb of New London, aged, dated 30 March 1721 and sworn 14 April 1721, gives to loving wife Elizabeth Edgecomb "a feather bed, bolster and pillows, with all the moveable estate now in my possession which I had with her at marriage" and other items, provided she quit all claim to her dower rights; to eldest son John and his wife land provided they quit claim all rights to "any of my estate on ye account of my medling… about the estate of Joshua Hempstead deceased"; to son Thomas land; to daughter Sarah "an Hammucker: and daughter Joannah a silver cup, and to them both land between land of my son Samuell and John Plumb; to son Samuel my dwelling house and land; and Christopher Christophers and son Samuel Edgecomb executors. The inventory dated 29 May 1721 includes "a Coat of Armes" and "a Gold Sealed Ring," which are interesting in connection with the claim by "Mr. John Edgecumb, of New London… in behalfe of ye heires of Sr. Richard Edgecumbe…" to "eastern lands" mentioned by Converse (pp. 762-768).

| 6794 | from newspaper obituary (posted on findagrave by Harold & Bonita Meier) One of the most shocking accidents and heart rending deaths that has ever occurred in this vicinity was the one which befell Elmer Baker, on Finn James farm, a few miles east of town, yesterday afternoon, ending in Elmer taking his own life. Mr. Baker and wife occupied one of the tenant houses on the James farm, and since Monday he had been engaged in digging a hold under a big rock, in order to bury it. He remarked to his wife, when he left the house about two o;clock yesterday afternoon, that he had a hold eight or nine feet deep almost directly under the stone, which appeared to be a big one. He was engaged in this dangerous work all alone, and when supper time came and he did not appear his wife expressed the fear to one of the hired men that something had happened to him. As time went on and it began to grow dark she became still more anxious and insisted that some one should go and see why he did not return, it being impossible for her to go on account of two small children. One of the hired men finally said he wound go up where Elmer was at work and see what the trouble was, if anything. On arriving at the scene he found that the rock, which weighed several ton, had moved form its place and in its fall had caught Elmer underneath it. He at once hastened back to the house and gave the alarm, and in a short time the whole neighborhood was aroused. It was impossible to roll the stone away, so it was found necessary to dig around and underneath the body in order to extricate it from the position in whit was found. Although the injured man seemed to be unconscious the workers were encouraged in their efforts to release him by the sound of his continued breathing. When at last he was taken from his living tomb, those engaged in the work of rescue, where horrified to discover that, in addition to his other apparent injuries, there was a great gash to his throat. Dr. Pattison was hastily summoned, and on arriving there he made an examination and found that Elmer's right leg was broken below the knee, that his right thigh was badly broken and crushed, where the rock had fallen on him, that the cords of the right arm were injured and torn somewhat from their fastenings., and that there was a gash five or six inches long across the throat, the windpipe being severed. The injured man only lived about 20 minutes after being taken out. Of course it well never be definitely known how all this occurred, nor just how long he laid there after accident took place, but the indications are that he lay for several hours with the great rock resting on the lower part of his body, and that after a time he had succeeded in getting his right arm out and, as he saw by the lengthening shadows that supper time had past and night was approaching, and no help came, and that he must die anyway, he had decided to end his intense sufferings with his own hand. So he had managed to get his knife out of his pocket, open the blade, which seems to have been a dull one, as it seems o have taken at least five or six strokes across the throat before the windpipe was severed. The event has caused great excitement in the neighborhood. The deceased was well known here. He leaves a wife and two small children. The funeral will take place tomorrow. | Baker, Elmer Jacob (I16386)
