About Edward Convers
Edward Convers received from his father, 6 February 1718, a deed of fifty acres of land north of the home farm, and soon after built the house thereon occupied by him, and his sons, well known as the "Convers Tavern." He was a man of energy, and sound judgment, much employed in public affairs, was one of the constituent membeis of the church, and served as committee in building the meeting house. He was chosen to repair bridges, help survey doubtful bounds, collect, receive and distribute school money, and " settle with distrained Baptists on as easy terms as he could." He was active in military affairs, serving as ensign for many years. The rank of ensign corresponds with that of second lieutenant at the present time. At a town meeting, held the first Tuesday of December, 1732, he was chosen constable. His tavern received a good share of travel and patronage, and "Landlord Convers' District" heads the list of school districts laid out in 1762. He died intestate, and only an inventory of some of his personal estate has been found. His real property, no doubt, was made over to his sons during his lifetime.
