Edward Wooster

Birth:

Moved: 1651 to Paugasset, Connecticut
Note: It is not known where Edward came from or when he arrived in Connecticut. However, according to an article about his descendants in Volume 75 of the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, in 1651 he received permission from the town of Milford to settle in the northern part of the township, then known as Paugasset. Within the next year or two he and his brother-in-law, Thomas Langdon, built houses at Paugasset, thus founding what became in 1675 the town of Derby. The growing village at Paugasset was not viewed with favor by the authorities at Milford and New Haven, and occasional lawlessness on the part of some of the villagers intensified their disapproval. In this situation, Edward Wooster conducted himself with prudence, for in 1669 the General Court appointed him constable of Paugasset. His social position is indicated by the face that at least one record refers to his as "goodman." The article in the NEHGR contains a great deal of information on his descendants and numerous marriages of Wooster descendants with members of the Hawkins family.
