First Generation in the New World
1. EDWARD DULEN, was born, presumably, in Scotland, and died at Exeter, New Hampshire on 09 Nov 1667. He never married.
Biographical Notes:
1. A “Edward Erwin” was received into the Oyster River community on 15 Feb 1658 along with at least seven other Scots.1
2. “I set out to prove whether or not William Furbish was one of Valentine Hill’s original “Seven Scots.” I can’t prove that fact either way. However, I have traced 18 Scots who were first taxed at Oyster River (Dover, N.H.) between 1657-1659. Most of these are either on “The Dunbar Prisoners” list or on the John & Sara list. A good bit of this information will be new, I believe. And I can correct (and in some cases corroborate) some of the speculations that have been made about these 18. I have tried to be careful to document, in hope these will be of use to you and to other researchers.” ~ B. Craig Stinson
