Mr Lathrop says, "The young Master Fitz-randolphe" built in 1636, the
house constructed in Scituate. Having provided himself with a home
befor being married, May 10, 1637, Elizabeth, daughter of Deacon Thomas Blossom
of the Leyden and Plymouth churches. He joined Mr Lathrop's church in Scituate May 14, 1637, and his wife joined at
Barnstable August 27,1643. He sold his house in that town to Deacon Richard Sealis, and removed in the spring of 1639 to
Barnstable, and built a house on
lot containing eight acres, bounded east by the road to Hyanis. In 1645 Edward Fitzrandolphe removed to his farm in West
Barnstable, "a do great lot", containing 120 acres of upland, bounded north by the m east by the Bursley farm, south by the
commons, and west by the land
of Mr Thomas Dexter. In 1669 he and several families from the Cape removed to New Jersey. In October 1683 his widow was living in
New Piscat, New Jersey. He is called in "deeds" a yeoman, or farmer, and does appear to have been employed in any official
station. He had recevied
a good education for those times, and as Mr Lathrop styles him "Master"
he probably belonged to a good family. He came probably from the west
of England.
