Notes for Edward Prouty:
From page 19 of "Prouty Genealogy" by C.H. Pope:
"Edward, born at Scituate September 30, 1679; married December 2, 1701, Elizabeth, daughter of Abraham How, Jr., and Sarah, his wife, of Roxbury, born November 23, 1678. She received a tract of land at the death of her father, and had another tract in common with her sisters on her mother's death. She sold this April 1, 1719: "Edward Proute of Scituate, yeoman, and Elizabeth his wife, and Abigail How of Boston, single woman" sold "two thirds of six acres of pasture land in Roxbury," etc. We observe that Edward here signed his name "Proute", if the recorder reproduced his signature accurately. In some other deeds his signature is given as "Prouty." When he administered on the estate of his father the recorded gave the name as "Proutee." So careless were even educated people at that day that we have to use a good deal of latitude in determining the true spelling of names.
Edward Prouty was chosen on the jury February 14, 1709-1710. He was a ''cordwainer", i.e. shoemaker, as many of his descendants have been. He died at a comparatively early age, in the autumn of the year 1726. His estate was administered on by his son and namesake September 13, 1726, and division made two years later. May 21, 1744, the widow Elizabeth with her son Edward and Samuel Curtice, made division of lands at Hoop-pole swamp."
