  William hedge is stated to have been the son of Elisha and Ann (Ward) Hedge of Northamptonshire (NEHGR 111:319). He settled first in Lynn, where he became a freeman in 1634 (Savage). He moved to Sandwich, and on 5 November 1638 he sold the remaining term of his servant Robert Wickson to Gov. Thomas Prence for 12 ponds (PCR 1:102). In 1638 he was fined for keeping a hog unringed (PCR 1:107). In 1640 he received fourteen acres of meadow land in Sandwich which was granted to some sixty people according to quality and estate of the grantee and condition of the land. Only six other grantees received as much or more land as he (PCR 1:149-50). By 1643 he had moved to Yarmouith (PCR 2:62). In 1648/49 he was presented by the grand jury for letting an Indian have a gun, powder, and shot, and for receiving stolen goods, but he was cleared on both counts (PCR 2:137), and in 1650 was chosen constable of Yarmouth (PCR 2:153). In 1652 he was presented for selling wine and strong waters without a license (PCR 3:17), and in 1658 he was fined ten shillings for threatening to have the blood of Edward Sturges (PCR 3:150). It appears that he may have been associated with Sturges in keeping an ordinary, for after this date Hedge is in the records for approval to bring large amounts of liquor into Yarmouth, sometines with Edward Sturges (PCR 4:28, 52) He also served at times as grandjuror (PCR, passim). In 1653 he became ensign of Yarmouth's military company, and in 1659 he bacame its captain (PCR 3:38, 169). Because of vagaries in the spelling of names, he is easy to confuse with WilliamHedges (or Hedge, Hodges) of Taunton, though when the name is preceded by "Mr" it is usually William of Yarmouth. Savage and Torrey give him an unidentified first wife, and Savage calls his second wife Blanch (______), widow of Tristram Hull, who had died 20 December 1666. Hedge dated his will 30 June 1670, inventory taken 15 July 1670, and he bequeathed to sons Abraham, Elisha, William, John, and Lemuel, and daughters Sarah Matthews, Elizabeth Barnes, Mary Sturges, and Mercy. He also named his beloved sister Brooks in Virginia and his deceased brother Brooks. He gave his wife Blanch Twelve pence plus what he had received of hers because she "hath dealt falcly with with mee in the Covenant of Marriage in Departing from mee" (MD 18:252).
