Edward Jessup Jr. was born in 1663 either Newtown or West Farms N. Y., either before or soon after his father had crossed the East River to his new plantation on the north shore of Long Island Sound.
He was but three years old at his father’s death thus removing early with his mother to Connecticut on her second marriage, he was more of a citizen of Connecticut than of NY.
In due time he became a freeman of the town of Fairfield, acquired property, and established a home and family in the ancient parish of Green Farms.
He married in 1692 at the age of twenty nine, Elizabeth Hyde (born 23 Aug. 1669) a daughter of John Hyde (born 1642)and Elizabeth, daughter of Richard Harvey of Stratford. Her grandfather Humphrey Hyde came form England in 1640, and early settled in Fairfield,
About 1720 Edward removed from Green Farms to Stamford, purchased 125 acres in the eastern part of Stamford. and lived there for the rest of his life.
The Stamford Records say “ Mr. Edward Jessup died Dec 28, 1731” and the inscription on his tombstone adds “ in the 70th year of age” His son, Joseph Jessup of Stamford is appointed sole executor.
