Bridgewater, witli Appendices. This contribu~ion of valuable memorabilia is a summary of traditions and facts compifod successh·cly hy Captain Josiah Edson (1682-1i62), Elijah Hayward (his great-grandson), the Rev. Theodore Edson, S.T.D .. and John Edson {his brother). and Nahum Mitchell (author of the History of the Early Seltleme1tl of Bridgc-&!atcr). The conclusions advanced in the initial paragraph and the two footnotes on the third page of the pamphlet regard­ ing the name Edson being "a contraction from a word of three or more syllables." and the improhahility of fin<ling a native of England bearing it as a surname, were generally accepted, until recently, as determining the use­ lessness of all further attempts to ascertain anything to the contrary. The allegation that "it is certainly not found in any hook of heraldry " was evidently left unchallenged at that time for want of enlightenment, although there was then among the priceless heraldic manuscripts of Queen's College, Oxford, one in which the name of "Thomas Edson of .-\dderbury '· was so written. As printed in the Lowell pamphlet, the paragraph reads: "The name of Edson is most probably a contraction of Edwardson, Edmonson. Edwinson, or that of some other viii PREFACE name of three or more syllah1es beginning with Ed and end­ ing with son. Previous to the year 1600, the word Edson as a personal appellative is not to he found in the Engfo;h vocabulary of proper names; and it is much doubted if it can be found in England unless connected with some person in or from the United States. It is certainly not found in any book of heraldry, wherein arc entered the family names of nearly every other person who has emigrated from Eng­ land and settled in the American colonies. Whether this contraction was made or adopted by Samuel Edson, the common ancestor of all of that name in this country, it is impossible to ascertain." The pamphlet, referred to above, suggests that the name Edson may be a corruption of Addison. "It is, in fact, often pronounced Addison and Eddison by most unedu­ cated foreigners who have occasion to use the name, and they often conform the orthography thereto. The fact that the name can be clearly traced to him, and no further, is strongly corroborative of the opinion that its present form was assumed in his time." The historical proof of the groundlessness of these sup­ positions appeared necessary, and. readily perceiving the value of it, I secured the services of an experienced gentle­ man to prosecute for me adequate searches for information concerning the ancestry and posterity of the Edsons in Eng­ land and America that would serve for an authentic history of the Edson Family. This investigation in different parts of England, par­ ticularly in the Library of the British Museum in London, and the registry and probate offices in Lichfield and York, examinations of parish r.:!gisters at Addcrbury in Oxford­ shire. at Knarcsborough. Whixley, and Easingwold in Yorkshire, at Bedworth, Bcrksw~II. Over Whiteacre, Nei:her Whitcacrc, Kingsbury, and Fillonglcy in Warwickshire, to­ gether ,,;th interviews with James Edson at Ottringham, George Edson at Pickering, and Joseph A. Edson at Otley, PREFACE ix in Yorkshire, were, as will he seen, richly rewarded. The noteworthy success attending the researches in this country also revealed many interesting historical particulars of the careers of certain Edsons early identified with the political affairs of the colonists of N,cw England. Letters of inquiry to members of Edson families residing in different parts of the United States were the means of eliciting much of the serviceable data of the genealogical division of this work. My purpose in publishing so comprehensive a his­ tory as this of the Edsons in England and America was mainly to enlighten and benefit their living descendants with such knowledge, of the conscientious, stalwart, patri­ otic, and godly character of their ancestors, as might im­ press them with an abiding sense of their obligation to be men as indomitable, diligent, public-spirited, and honored as their forefathers were in their day and generation. The embellishment of the historical part of the work with en­ gravings of places and objects still distinguishing the seats of. the ancestral homes of Edsons in England and America was prompted by a consideration of the enjoyment they might afford to persons desirous of acquiring all the know­ ledge to be obtained regarding the natural and artificial features of the landscapes environing the habitations of their early kinsmen. It was my good fortune to become the possessor of one (No. 26) of the fifty-seven copies that were printed, in 1893, of the Transcript of tlze Old Parish Register of the Parish Church of S . .1l_ary and .4ll Saints, Fillonglcy, County War­ wick, r538-1653, containing the entry of the baptism of Samuel Edson, son of Thomas Edson, on September 5, 1613, as ,,·ell as entries of baptisms, marriages. and deaths of other and earlier ancestral kinsfolk. The Rev. Arthur Bicknell Stevenson, Vicar of Fillongley Church since May 8, 1888, kindly sent me for souvenir canes two pieces of a broken branch of the venerable yew which has long been a picturesque feature of the ancient churchyard. To this X PREFACE obliging and courteous clergyman I am greatly indebted for the gift of the much-prized mementos and for the pains tnken by him to pro\·ide me with desired photographs of the interior nnd exterior of the church, in the sacred pre­ cincts of which, four centuries ago, more than one of my ancestors had worshipped.
