EDWARD. Born in England, 1607; m. there about 1630, Margaret, whose family name and parentage have not been disclosed; neither have we actual records of his birth and marriage... In 1663, with his son John, Edward removed to Hammonassett, later called Killingworth. The present Clinton, Conn., is the original Killingworth; Main Street is the identical ground whre the first settlers took their home lots. These were surveyed in 1663 by Byron Rossiter of Guilford. Edward was one of the first settlers and doubtless suggested the name from Kenilworth Parish in England...
