Notes on Generation 1
Taken from Descendants of Edward Colborne
Edward immigrated from London, England on October 8, 1635 on board the ‘Defense.’ Capt. Bostock arrived at Boston, Ocotober 30th. Amongst the passengers, Edward Colborne, whose age is given as 17 years and Robert Colburn, whose age is given as 28 years. They may have been brothers.
No records are found of the years following his arrival, but allusions are made in legal papers to Edward as being of Ipswich and he is call Nathaniel Saltonstall’s farmer. We can conclude that he was the manager of the estate of Nathaniel Saltonstall, who was a prominent citizen of the town. In proof of this, we find no record of his owning a farm until, with his family, he moved to Dracut.
Edward purchased the Webb farm which laid on the river in an then unnamed wilderness known as “The Wilderness North of the Merrimac.”
Gen. Philip Read, who made a careful study of Dracut history, and who is a descendant of Edward wrote:
Corp. Edward Coburn
He was a soldier in the local Military Co. of Chelmsford during King Philip’s War, 1675-77, was in command of Colbron’s Garrison on the east side of the Merrimac as strengthened after the attack upon Chelmsford by the Indians 25 Feb. 1676 and continued in charge and pay until Nov. 17 1692, perhaps still longer.
He was guarding the ferry 18 March 1675 when the Wamesit Indians killed two of the sons of Samuel Varnum and burned the Corporal’s house. Was in command of local Garrison 23 July 1689 during the first French and Indian or King William’s War.”
As Edward was the first settler on the north of the Merrimac, it was necessary to provide against the assaults of the Indians. They roamed through the woods and paddled their canoes on the river, and the lives of the white settlers were of no value to them. He erected a Garrison House, and with his seven sons, and his sons-in-law, he was able to protect himself from the thieving bands of Indians, while aid could be summoned in time of danger, when larger bands would be on the warpath. His Garrison House he left in his will to his son, Joseph, and it is still standing today on Varnum Avenue nearly opposite Totman Road is the two-story house, which was for many generations the home of the Coburns. It has been known as the Garrison House for five generations, and the size of the timbers, the low posted rooms, and the style of building, all furnish evidence of its age.

Notes on Thomas Colburn
Feb. 22, 1671, his father deeded to him one-eighth of the Evered land, and in 1693, he had an equal share with his brothers, Daniel, Ezra, and Joseph, “by me purchased of Major Thomas Hinchman, which land is known by the name of the Satchell land.”
This land was purchased by Edward (1) of Major Thomas Hinchman, April 3, 1671, the original deed being now in existence. A later deed bearing the date of 1699, from Edward, informs us that, “In consideration of the help and serviceableness which my son Thomas hath yielded to me in my age and weakness and which I am willing to recompense him for have given….. two acres of land in tillage which is part of my home lot…..adjoining the land of Joseph Coburn.”
