Notes - Edward Thurston was a Quaker at Newport, RI, prior to 1647. He was a freeman at Newport in 1655. On 26 August 1688, Edward was one of a number of Quakers who signed a request addressed to the King asking to be excused from bearing arms because they were peaceable people, but promising to fulfill all other obligations of taxes and duties. In 1690 he was one of five signers of a letter to King William & Queen Mary, congratulating them on their accession to the Crown.
I have very roughly estimated the birth years of some of Edward's children.
