Edmund Towne
Edmund Towne was baptized at the church of St. Nicholas in Great Yarmouth on 28 June 1628, the fourth of William Towne's children. He crossed in April 1637, probably in the Rose of Yarmouth, bound apprentice to Henry Skerry, a Salem cordwainer; the passenger list gives his age as eighteen, but by his baptism he was eight. He grew up in the Northfields of Salem and moved to Topsfield with his father in 1651.
He married Mary, daughter of Thomas Browning, who had been baptized in January 1638 and so was about ten years his junior. Ten children are recorded to them between 1655 and 1673.
In 1675, with King Philip's War running, he was one of a committee from Topsfield that petitioned the General Court for leave to form military companies, so that the town's men could be protected from the Indians while they were at work in the fields. That is the one public act of his the record keeps, and it is a characteristic one: not a march, but an application for permission to guard a harvest.
He died before 3 May 1678, in his forties. He did not live to see 1692, when two of his sisters were hanged at Salem and a third was arrested and survived. His widow outlived him by nearly forty years.
