Notes - Edmund Dorr and Mary Griswold settled at Lyme, where he carried on the business of a clothier, or cloth dresser. He was a man of mind, and of indomitable perseverance. And he and a few other members of the first congregational society of Lyme carried on an ecclesiastical controversy with Rev. Jonathan Parsons, the third minister of Lyme, who married Phebe Griswold, his wife's niece. During this controversy, he obtained the sobriquet of "Servant Dorr," which he retained for life.
