Posted on July 23, 2010 by markeminer
Edward WINN (1603 – 1682) was Alex’s 10th great grandfather, one of 2,048 in this generation of the Miner line.
Edward Winn was born in 1604 in Thorton Curtis, Lincolnshire, England. His parents were Edward WYNNE (1570 – 1645) and Dorothy BERKELEY (1584 – 1608). It is also speculated that he was a master builder and came from Ipswich, England or vicinity. He married Joanna SARGENT about 1628 in England. He emigrated with his wife Joanna, and children Ann, Elizabeth and Joseph. He settled first in Charlestown, Massachusetts, and was one of the commissioners for founding the contemplated town of Woburn and met with them 18 Dec 1640. After Joanna died, he married Sarah Beal on 10 Aug 1649. His third wife was Anne Page Wood. Edward died 5 Sep 1682 in Woburn, Mass.
Joanna Sargent was born about 1608 in England. Her parents were Richard SARGENT (1575 – 1675) and Katherine STEVENS (1580 – 1609). Alternatively, her maiden name was Hatch. Joanna died 8 Mar 1649 in Woburn, Mass.
Sarah Beal was born about 1608 and died 15 Mar 1679/80 in Woburn, Mass.
Anne (or Hannah) Page Wood was born about 1608. She was respectively the wife of William Page, of Watertown; Nicholas Wood, of Medfield; and Edward Winn of Woburn. Anne died before 1 Nov 1686.

2198The earliest record of Edward Winn in America is whe he appears at the house of Mr. Thomas Graves in Charlestown, as one of the Commissioners, at their first meeting, 18 Dec 1640, held for consulting on the affairs of the contemplated town of Woburn.
The conditions for inhabiting the new town of Woburn were stated in five separate orders.The first order fixed the price of land at six pence an acre. The second order required return of lots if they were not improved in 15 months. The remaining orders concerned fencing, inmates (archaic usage: boarders, etc.), and timber.Among the 32 signatories was Edward Winne.
Edward Winn was one of the original planters of Woburn. On 8 Feb 1640/41, the commissioners came from Charlestown to find a location. After two days’ search, they pitched upon a spot, unquestionably on Aberjona River, over which, 10 Feb 1640/41, they built a bridge near the house of Edward Convers. To this spot they came, in March and May following, and laid out house lots, and buildings were doubtless erected during the year.
The first born child entered in the records of Woburn: Increase son of Edward Winn, born (5th) of 10th mo: 1641.
10 May 1643 – Edward Winn was made a freeman
8 Sep 1645 – Edward taxed in Woburn in the rate for the country, and the subsequent rates.
Edward was one of the leading men in town affairs, and chosen a town officer, a Survayor for Sale, 1658-9, Selectman, 1669. The signature of Edward Winn appears as a subscribing witness, 10 Apr 1653, to a deed of George Polley to John Lakin of Groton, land at Woburn, some of it lying on lan of Moses Cleaveland.
Edward’s residence was near a place in Woburn, known as the Vineyard, at which was a watering-place (on present Park street), the house being on some spot near Middlesex, Chestnut and Kilby streets.
Edward Winn in his will, made 6 May 1682, names his son Increase; his son Joseph’s daughte Sarah; the three youngest children of his daughter Ann, wife of Moses Cleaveland; and the three youngest children of his daughter Elizabeth, wife of George Polley.
Edward’s son Joseph was a soldier in King Phillip’s war, 1676, and an ensign in Phipps’ Canada expedition to Quebec, 1690. His company was commanded by Captain Ebenezer Prout, of Concord (in the Middlesex county regiment, commanded by Major Nathaniel Wade, of Medford), the lieutenant of his company being Nathaniel Barsham, of Watertown, and the ensign Joseph Winn, of Woburn.
Edward’s daughter Ann, married Moses Cleveland, a direct ancestor of Grover Cleveland. Thus, all Pollys (or Polleys) who trace their ancestry to George Polly of Woburn can properly claim, through Edward Winn, relationship to our 22nd and 24th president.
Edward’s son, Increase, is a direct ancestor of Herbert Hoover, the 31st president.
