    • From "The Winship Family in America" Ernest Cole 1905:

      "Edward Winship, who stands at the head of the Winship family in America, was b. in Eng in 1613. He embarked for America in the good ship, The Defiance, at Harwich; England, Aug. 10, 1635; arrived in Boston, MA, Oct. 3, 1635, and two days later located in Cambridge, MA. In 1638 he purchased the land commencing at the corner of Brattle and Mason streets extending to the Commons... He was commissioned ensign on the Cambridge militia company in 1647, and lieutenant in 1660. He was elected deputy general of the court in 1663, 1664, 1681-1686."
