Edward Starbuck was born in 1604, and came from Derbyshire, England, to Dover, New Hampshire, with his wife, Katharine (Reynolds), of Wales, about 1635.

"In deed Edward owned considerable land and was evidently a man of substance as to possessions as tradition says he was in body."

"He was a representative in 1643 and 1646, was an elder in the church and enjoyed various other tokens of respect given him by his fellow citizens."

"In fact he might have lived comfortably at Dover and died in the midst of his family, respected and contented but that he embraced Baptist sentiments."

In "Provincial Papers of New Hampshire," we find the following:

"Oct. 18, 1648.-The Court being informed of great misdemeanor Committed by Edward Starbuck of Dover with profession of Anabaptism for which he is to be proceeded against at the next Court of Assistants if evidence can he prepared by that time & it being very fare for witnesses to travel to Boston at that season of the year, It is therefore ordered by this Court that the Secretary shall give Commission to Capt. Thomas Wiggan & Mr Edw. Smyth to send for such persons as they shall have notice of which are able to testify in the sd. cause & to take their testimony upon oath & certified the same to the secretary so soon as may be, that further proceedings may he therein, if the cause shall so require."

It is not to be wondered at that Edward Starbuck was quite ready to leave Dover under existing conditions. He was fifty-five years of age when he joined Thomas Macy in his voyage from Salisbury to Nantucket; he spent the winter there and in the spring returned to Dover for his family, who accompanied him to the island excepting his daughters Sarah (Austin) and Abigail (Coffin), who had married and settled in Dover. " Dover lost a good citizen" and Nantucket gained a much respected one; "he was a leading man on the Island and at one time a Magistrate; " he is described as " courageous and persevering."

In "Landmarks in Ancient Dover" mention is made of Starbuck's Brook in 1701 as a boundary of property which Peter Coffin (son-in-law of Edward Starbuck) conveyed to John Ham. Starbuck's Marsh was granted to Elder Starbuck August 30, 1643, and Starbuck's Point and Marsh, now called Fabyan's Point, were granted to Edward Starbuck in 1643, and are again mentioned in 1662, 1702, and 1716 in conveyance of property, since which time the usual desire to change ancient names has destroyed what might be valuable historical landmarks.

Only one son  lived to perpetuate the name, Nathaniel, who married Mary (daughter of Tristrain Coffin), the ancestor of all American Starbucks.

Edward Starbuck died in 1690.
