Abraham FINCH [1] |
- By her first husband, Dorothy had a son, Abraham Finch, who was with her at Saybrook and died unmarried between November 1666 and June 1667 leaving legacies to his mother, "Dorothy Tousley of Saybrook", his "sister" Hannah Edwards, and Lydia Bement, daughter of Saybrook's William Bement.(New London Court records, 1:89, 105; 2:25, Connecticut State Library). (Apparently this son was the Abraham "Edwards", born 12 August 1637 placed in the John Edwards family by Stiles on the authority of James Savage in his 'Genealogical Dictionary of the Firs Settlers of New England'. No known evidence shows that John Edwards was the father of a son Abraham, but his stepson,Abraham Finch, was the major creditor of his estate in 1664 (Hartford Prob. Dist., File 1818). The dates show that the child Abraham was born four months after Abraham Finch was slain by Nepaupuck, thus no doubt his posthumous son. [1]
