• Surname has also been spelled as “Holliock, Holiocke, Holiock or Holyocke.”
• At the age of five, he was named as chief heir in the will of his great uncle, Edward Holyoke. His great uncle bequeathed to him property in Tanworth, Wooton Wawen, Ullenhall, and Henly.
• Based on baptisms, Edward was living in London in 1607 and his occupation is that of a grocer, although some suspect he was also educated in London.
• Prudence joined Edward in London after their marriage in 1612.
• The family (Edward, Prudence and their first four children left London about 1620 and moved to Tanworth-in-Arden, Warwickshire, England … perhaps living on the property his uncle Edward left him (see above).
• Edward is thought to be the same "Edward Hollyocke " mentioned in the Will of Richard Hathaway, the father of Ann Hathaway, the wife of the William Shakespeare, …
• They were most likely an affluent family (they could read and write) … apparently Edward had some legal training prior to coming to the colonies. He does not appear in the Oxford or Cambridge University Registers, which leads to the possibility he studied at one of London’s Inns of Court. The Inns of Court in London are the professional associations for barristers in England and Wales. There are four Inns of Court: Gray's Inn, Lincoln's Inn, Inner Temple and Middle Temple
• Edward was an agent of Lord Brooks (Robert Grenville) owner of Warwick Castle. Edward managed the affairs around land / property owned by Lord Broods and Lord Sey. Lord Brooks held properties in England and the colonies and Edward managed these properties as well (which is probably why he moved to the colonies.
• Edward and his family lived in Tanworth till about 1630 to 1635. Edward & his son Elizur left for the colonies, most likely soon after the death of his first son John in 1635. So, it is assumed Edward and Elizur came to the colonies somewhere by 1635 … Unable to find any records of how Edward & Elizur were transported to America, there are references that assume that since Edward was an Agent of Lord Brooke, they may came have come in one of the ships owned by Lord Brooke and Lord Sey.
• It is also assumed that he brought the rest of the family sometime later, maybe late 1636 or early 1637. Once again, since there are no records of ship passage, it has been assumed they came by way of a ship owned by Lord Brooke and Lord Sey.
• In 1637 they moved from Lynn, MA to Rumney Marsh (now called Chelsea) and he was is recorded as a farmer with five hundred acres of land.
• Massachusetts General Court on 13 March 1638, empowered Edward to manage the lands of Lord Brooke until Lord Brooke disposes of it.
• One record lists Edward as being involved with the founding of Harvard, implying his was also one of the very first Tutors (instructor) for Harvard College in about 1636, and he was later succeeded by Rev. Henry Dunster, later in 1640. Henry Dunster would later become Harvard’s first President in 1650.
• Edward was a member of the Quarterly Court from 1639 to 1643, and again in 1647 to 1648. He was a representative in ten sessions of the General Court.
• He became a Freeman on 14 March 1639, Massachusetts Colony.
• Edward farmed on 500 acres by the town of Lynn, Middlesex, MA which was granted to him by the town of Lynn in 1638. … Edward also owned land in Reading and Nahant. Lord Brooke received 800 acres. In 1656 he owned the western side of Sagamore Hill in Lynn. In the western part of Lynn, surrounded by willows, is the well known Holyoke spring.' [This spring is near the western margin of the meadow lying immediately north of Holyoke street, and west of Walnut, formerly known as Pan Swamp.
• While records show he managed the estate of Lord Brooke, he was also an auditor of an account between Mr. William Woodcock of London and Mr. William Browne of Salem, Essex, MA. and was an attorney for Francis Webb of London, June 1643, suggesting he may have traveled back and forth between England and the Massachusetts Colony.
• In 1641 - 42, he sat on the Court with Col. Endecot (Endcot would later become governor of MA), Mr. Emanuel Downing, Mr. William Hawthorne and Mr. Thomas Willis.
• Edward’s second marriage was to Ann Taylor … Ann was the mother-in-law to Edward’s daughter Mary.
• On 8 Sep 1648, Edward sold to Richard Woodward of Watertown “… the windmill that is standing in Boston ... as also the land whereon it doth stand ...”
• In 1650, Edward was the Deputy of Springfield, although he was not a resident there … it was due to his son, Elizur’s standing in the community that got Edward the position.
• Edward wrote and published at least three books … (1) Doctrine of Life; Mans Redemtion by the Seed of Eve, (2) The Seed of Abraham, and (3) The Seed of Eve. Printed by T.R. for Nath Ekins, London, 1658.
