biography
From An account of some of the descendants of Capt. Thomas Brattle by Harris, Edward Doubleday, 1839-1919, comp Published 1867. Page 28-29
(1) 9. Edward Brattle, youngest son of Thomas and
Elizabeth (Tyng), married March 23, 1692-3, Mary Legg, of Marblehead.
Dec. 10, 1695, his brother Thomas conveyed to them (he then "merchant of Boston"), that estate now directly in the rear of the lot occupied by the Church on Brattle Street. It was then described as being bounded in front S. W. on highway from the Dock to Brattle Street 60 ft., S. E. on land of Dr. Macarty 145 ft., N. E. on land of John Wing 35 ft., and N. W. on Brattle Close 130 ft. This land he conveyed Jan. 29, 1712, to his son-in-law Smith. He was a captain of the militia, and member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company in 1694. The last years of his life were passed at Marblehead, where he possessed considerable real estate, and where he acquired a high reputation as a successful and enterprising merchant. His first recorded purchase of real estate there, was July 28, 1716. Much of his landed property there was sold by his widow after his death. He died at Marble- head sometime between Feb. 5 and Oct. 22, 1719. His wife survived him, but the date of her death is unknown to me.
Their issue were :
37. Mary, who married, March 20, 171 2, James Smith, merchant of Boston, and probably died without issue before her father, as he does not name her or any child of hers in his will.
38. Thomas, b. Sept. 17, 1695, bapt. at Old South Sept. 20, 1696, died young.
