  • Notes 
    • On 18 December 1669, William Edwards gave to his daughter Sarah, the house lot between John Edwards and Samuel Parsons, as well as other property. The latter consisted of meadow ground at Accobonec and Accobonec Neck, a lot at Pantego, and land at Meantauket, commonly called Burdsall's Lot, and a share of the mill.
      The recored also states that William Edwards gave a house lot (apparently the first-mentioned item above), for his lifetime to Nathaniel Dominy, who is to marry his daughter Sarah, whether or not they had any children; however, it implies that if the couple did have offspring, then Nathaniel was "to inJoy his Lifetime all the said parsells of Land Above mentioned" (Ibid. vol. 1, p. 320). The meaning is somewhat obscure, and not unnaturally gave rise to controversy later, but the intent seems to be that Nathaniel Dominy is to have the land for his lifetime, but that afterwards it is to go to any children of Nathaniel and Sarah.
      On 22 April 1680, Sarah Dominy, daughter of William Edwards and wife of Nathaniel Dominy, deeded to her husband the land given to her by her father 18 December 1669. (Ibid. vol. 2 p. 89).
      William Edwards in his will, left to his son John the lot he gave to his daughter Sarah "the land being in debate between Nathaniel Dominy and myself at present." It would seem that Nathaniel Dominy died.
