Edward Mumford, in his own words |
| If he could speak to us today, Edward Mumford might describe his life as follows. |
 |
Although my name appeared as Mumford, I was possibly a brother of Thomas Mountfort of York County. I, too, was a resident of York in 1668 when the court certified I was due 150 acres for paying the ocean fare of Jeremiah Darnell, Matthew Collins, and Mary Walker.  |
|
I was married to Mary Watkins by 25 September 1679 when the governor granted me 80 acres in Gloucester County: a 12-acre Oak Island, the rights for which I got from Mrs. Elizabeth Banister, and a 68-acre parcel near the York River, “due in right of his wife Mary, daughter of Joseph Watkins.” |
|
I added a neighboring 25-acre island in the York River in 1682 and got 148 acres at the head of Poquoson Dam across the York River in Warwick County in 1685. |
|
If I left a will, it burned with the others of Gloucester County, so I cannot acquaint you with all our children. Mary and I lived in Abingdon Parish where the baptisms of Edward and Daniel are recorded in its register, and a land patent of 1690 mentioned our eldest son, Joseph. Because Jean de Jarnat, a Frenchman, who lived in our parish, had a wife named Mary and a son and grandson called Mumford, his bride was likely our daughter, named, of course, for my wife. |
|
I was dead by 1690 when one of Joseph’s land patents called my wife a widow. |
