Edward first arrived in New York, New York on the Steamer S. S. Nevada out of Liverpool, Lancashire, England on July 7, 1886. On September 17, 1890, Grace and their four children (Elizabeth Mary "Polly", Edward John, Priscilla Jane "Precie", and Charlotte Anne) arrived in New York, New York aboard the Steamer S. S. Wisconsin out of Liverpool, Lancashire, England. Eldred-1893 and Lewis-1895 were born in Ishpeming, Michigan. In 1896 the family moved from Michigan to Leadville, Colorado where Edward worked at the Matchless gold mine for 14 years. Edward, took the job of mine superintendent on April 10, 1898, at the Matchless Mine, working for Baby Doe Tabor. Both Dora-1897 and Thomas-1898 were born in Colorado. A baby sister named Grace, after her mother, was born on January 24, 1901. Mother Grace died of complications just three weeks after the baby Grace was born. Baby Grace, died just a year later on February 15, 1902. They both are buried in the old Evergreen Cemetery in Leadville.

In 1903, Edward remarried a childhood friend of Baby Doe Tabor, Helena Macon, a widow from Glenwood Springs. Helena had a daughter Hazel M. Macon. When the mine finally closed, the family moved from Leadville to Buena Vista, Colorado and then to Pueblo, Colorado in a covered wagon. They worked in the fields, and then moved to Las Animas, Colorado and on from there to Garden City, Kansas where Edward helped build a branch line of the Santa Fe railroad between Garden City and Scott City. The family moved to Hutchinson, Kansas in approx 1910. In 1920, Helena and Edward separated, and finally divorced January 17, 1923. She had moved to San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas. Sometime in 1923 Edward remarried a widow Mary E. Greenfield-Hobson from Herrington, Kansas.

It maybe Urban Legend, but.....according to Dody Hagnauer Neumann (who was Edward John's great granddaughter), Edward John died when he was shot to death, trying to stop a street fight.

NOTE: This information was not relayed through any other source, namely Eldred Trezise, who saw to his father's remains beginning brought back to Hutchinson, Kansas for burial.
