    Notes:

    Edward came to America from the western part of England near the Welsh l ine. Some sources state that his father, Joseph, came over with him; b ut Edward was the first Dorr to marry and have children in America.
    The Rawson Family Memorial (Mary Rawson married Joseph Dorr, one of Edw ard's sons) states as follows: "When the colony of MA Bay or ganized the County of Devon at Pemaquid, near the mouth of the Kennebec i n Maine, Edward Dorr was there and with other inhabitants took the oath o f fidelity on July 22, 1674" He subsequently removed to Boston, perhap s because of King Philip's War, which broke out in 1675, placing that r emote settlement in great peril.
    Abstract of Pemaquid Records.-
    "July 22, 1674. Attended a court held at Pemaquid, Edward Dorr 'took t he oath of fidelity."

    Abstract from History of Second Church of Boston, page 242,-
    "1680. Nov 14 Edward Dorr
    1681 July 19 S. Dorr admitted to the church." (S. D orr is sister Dorr)

    In Dec. 1677, Edward Dorr of Boston purchased a piece of land for 50 Po unds currency, "near the new meeting house at the north end of South Bo ston", more than 40 years afterward, Edward Dorr sold the same property t hen described as "near the old north meeting house for 250 Pounds curre ncy.
    In 1683, He purchased land and house in Roxbury and in this deed is nam ed as "of Roxbury".
    Between 1677 and 1683, Edward purchased several acres of land in Roxbur y in the vicinity of what later became Washington and High Streets. On a p ortion of this estate, he built a dwelling house, mill house and tanner y, the last of which he gave to his son, Ebenezer, at the time of the l atter's marriage in 1710. An unofficial record in the family of Lester M oses Dorr of Boston indicates that Edward owned at one time a part of w hat became Boston Common. He became prominent in the civil and ecclesi astical affairs of Roxbury, was elected a selectman and held offices of i mportance and trust. At his death in 1734 he was buried at the Eliot B urying Ground Cemetery.
