Edmund embarked at Ipswich, England on 10 April 1634 in the ship Elizabeth, aged 33, with wife Mary age 32 and children John, 3, and Thomas, 3/4 years. He settled first at Watertown, where he shared in the division of lands on 25 July 1636, 28 February 1636/1637, 16 June 1637, and 9 April 1638. His homestead was on what was later the east side of Lexington Street. He was admitted freeman 24 May 1636, and served as selectman in 1638.
The history of Lynn says he removed to Lynn in 1639. Bond's Genealogies of Watertown says he removed after 1642, having buried a child there 6 November 1642. Savage says he removed to Lynn about 1643. He settled in the eastern part of the town, on what was later Lewis Street.
Savage names children John, Thomas, James, Nathaniel, and a child buried at ten days, and says Edmund had two more children born at Lynn, but does not name them. Lewis says there is no record of the 6th and 7th children, who were alive when he made his will, and must have been born after 1642 in Lynn.
