The Ancestry of Mary Sylvester, wife of Richard Edgerton

The parentage of Mary Sylvester, wife of Richard Edgerton, has not been established. It has been proposed that she may have been connected to the family of Giles and Mary (Arnold) Sylvester, two of whose sons, Nathaniel and Constant, were among the original purchasers of Shelter Island, New York. Shelter Island lay off the northern coast of Long Island, just a short crossing to Saybrook, on the southern Connecticut coastline. The Sylvesters were merchants, engaged in the sugar and lumbering industries, so it seems probable they did business with the English colonists in southern Connecticut. Members of the family lived in Shelter Island, New York, London, England and Barbados, having arrived from Amsterdam, Holland, where Giles Sylvester Sr. died circa 1652
