(We have a conflict here between Selleck's and Harris' marriage date for Edmond and Elizabeth Bouton. Since Selleck says first child was born in 1700 we will accept his 1698 wedding date; Harris is a little oblique here anyway.)

1673 Edmund Waring (1673 - 5AUG1749) is born at Brookhaven or Oyster Bay to Richard Waring. He married 6OCT1698 Elizabeth Bouton (1681 - 1760), born in Oyster Bay, daughter of John (Jean) Bouton of Norwalk, CT, he came to Boston in 1635 embarking from Gravesend, England on the ship Assurance, died at Norwalk 1704 and (1)Abigail Marvin (dau. of Matthew Marvin). John Bouton married third 1JAN1673 Mary Stevenson. Edmund Waring removed from Huntington, L.I. to Norwalk in 1703 and on the last day of winter 1706-7 bargained with the
father of Gov. Thomas Finch for a large tract of land as center-remote perhaps as Saugatuck, but which formed a portion of the eligible height once ruled by the Sachem Runckingheage, and since known by the name of "Roton (Rhoten) Hill" on Five Mile River. He resided in that part of the town now called Rowayton. His home was on top of Roton Hill. He also owned extensive tracts of land in Berkshire County, MA. Both he and his son, Edmund, Jr. were large subscribers to St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Norwalk, founded in 1737; of which church he was among the first vestrymen. He built a stone pier still in existence in the harbor of Norwalk, which leads to the inference that he was engaged in mercantile pursuits, probably a lumber merchant, as he made large purchases of timber land. At his death at the age of 76, he was survived by his entire family, wife, eight sons, and "four loving daughters", to whom he bequeathed a considerable landed estate. The ancient tombstones of Edmund and his wife were found at Norwalk, CT, in 1862. Edmund Waring had children, mostly born on Long Island: 1) Edmund, Junior (16SEP1700), 2) Isaac (13JUN1702), 3)John (21DEC1704-176?) (Katherine Tuttle), 4) Solomon (24APR1707), 5) Mary (22DEC1708) (Henry Henman), 6) Nathan (6FEB1710-11), 7) Jacob (15JAN1712-13-176?) (Mary Selleck (1717-1802), 8) Michael (16JUL1715-) (1.Elizabeth Scofield, 2.Sarah Holly), 9) Eliakim (8JUL1717-5AUG1779) (Anne Reed), 10) Elizabeth (8MAR1719-20) (Edward Nash), 11) Abigail (19APR1723) (Samuel Richards, Jr.), 12) Hannah born in Norwalk,CT (7SEP1725) (James Richards).
