John Edgecomb,3 Jr., of New London, born there 14 November 1675, lived in New London during the whole of his life. He was not a robust man and took little part in the military and political life of the day.

He married, 28 February 1699-1700, Hannah, daughter of Joshua Hempstead. On the 18 March 1707-8 he sells to his brother in law Joshua Hempstead land which came to him by virtue of his wife Hannah.f

The Hempstead Diary contains the following mention of his death "Sunday 19th (March 1732). Brother John Edgcumbe died last night of a lingering illness, he hath been drooping about 20 years, aged 56." His will, recorded Book C, p. 564, is dated 18 December 1727; proved 19 June 1732. His brother Joshua Hempstead to be executor. To wife Hannah the best room in his dwelling house, etc. To son Nicholas, provided he return home or it is certainly known that he is living, before son Jesse becomes 21. To son John if he ever return home, ???5. To son Jesse house and lands, for life only, unless he have children, otherwise all my lands to revert to John son of my brother Thomas Edgecomb. Movable estate to daughters Sarah, and other three daughters Elizabeth, Hannah, Grace, and son Jesse each 1-5 part.
His children recorded on New London records were: ?John, born 29 Nov. 1700. ?Nicholas, born 10 Aug. 1702. ?Hannah, born 9 Sept. 1704. ?Elizabeth, born 25 Sept. 1705. ?Sarah, born 20 March 1710-11. ?Grace, born 16 March 1712-13. ?Jesse, born 27 March 1721.

Of these children, Sarah married, 5 August 1731, Robert Douglass; Hannah married, March 1726, John Chapel. Grace owned the covenant and was baptized 17 February 1733-4.

John Edgecomb, Jr.'s, wife, Hannah Hempstead, was the granddaughter of Robert Hempstead, and the daughter of Joshua Hempstead, Sr., and wife Elizabeth Larrabee. Robert Hempstead probably came a young unmarried man to Pequot with Winthrop in 1645. Caulkins New London says that a report that he was a Knight and entitled to the address of Sir is not countenanced by anything that appears on record. In 1647-8 he was on the town committee of four with Mr. Winthrop. His eldest daughter, Mary (born 26 March 1647), was the first born of New London. His original homestead, built in 1678, was in 1895 still standing, and the most ancient building in New London. His wife, Joanna Willey, is supposed to have been a daughter of Isaac and Joanna Willey. She married, second, Andrew Lester, and died before 1660. Isaac Willey in 1647-8 was one of the town committee of four with Mr. Winthrop. He was an agriculturist and removed in 1664 to a farm at the head of Nahantic River, and in 1669 he was one of committee of four to lay out the King's highway, thence to New London. He died about 1685, having married, second, after 1670, Anna, third wife and relict of his former son in law, Andrew Lester, and she survived him. Joshua Hempstead, Sr., was born 16 June 1649. His son, Joshua, Jr., is described in Caulkins' New London, page 273, as "a remarkable manone that might serve to represent, or at least illustrate, the age, country and society in which he lived. The diversity of his occupations marks a custom of the day; he was at once farmer, surveyor, house and ship carpenter, attorney, stone-cutter, sailor and trader. He generally held three or four town offices; was justice of the peace, judge of probate, executor of various wills, overseer to widows, guardian to orphans, member of all committees, everybody's helper and adviser, and cousin to half the community. Of the Winthrop family he was a friend, and confidential agent, managing their business concerns whenever the head of the family was absent.'' The '' Hempstead Diary,'' a private journal kept by him from 1711 to his death in 1758 is repeatedly quoted in Caulkins New London and has since been printed.
