• Notes

  He is listed as a "Saylor" in his son Edmund's baptismal record. If he is the one born in 1588 in Cornhill, London, London, England, some of his relatives are listed as Shipwrights. This would explain his eldest son, Edmond's interest in travel to the colonies and Edmond's being trained in carpentry making this theory more plausible. Son Edmund also left from London to come to the colonies. Stepney is in downtown London. Edward moved from Ratcliff to Lymehouse/Limehouse by 1612. Here are the other Edwards that could be him, but lived at a somewhat further distance to London where he married Ysabell according to FreeReg.uk.org.

His father's name fits into the family tree. He lived closest to Bishopsgate, London, England where he could have met his wife. He was of a correct age to marry. He was a sailor with relatives who were shipwrights who could have taught his son, Edmond, carpentry as the trade he came to the American colonies with. Since his son was the first born son and came to America, it suggests the family did not have a lot of money for their first born need to make his way in the world instead of inheriting wealth from his parents.
