Fully conscious of my inability to write and compile an accurate genealogical history of the Colver-Culver family, I am, nevertheless, going to try in this little volume to record a few of the interesting facts about Edward Colver, the Puritan, and founder of the family in the United States, and some of his numerous descendants. Despite the extreme care exercised in the gathering of this material, and the painstaking effort to verify the statements contained in these pages, there will, I fear, be found many inaccuracies, and especially noticeable will be the incompleteness of this family story.

This is a reproduction of a book published before 1923.

Edward Colver (1600/1610-1685) immigrated in 1635 from England to Boston, Massachusetts, and settled in 1636 in Dedham, Massachustts. He married Ann Ellis in 1638, moving later to Groton, Connecticut. Descendants (chiefly spelling the surname Culver) and relatives lived in New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Iowa, California and elsewhere.
