| Notes |
- Edmund was the immigrant ancestor, and was the ninth settler in order of their coming to Andover, MA. He was licensed in 1648 as the first innkeeper of the town. According to Charlotte Abbott's notes from the NAHS, he sold wine of his own manufacture in 1648 as a vintner not a retailer. She places his house, at that time, as being on the Ferry Road to Haverhill. The first license for a vintner and inn holder in Andover was issued to Edmund in 1662, so the road to the river must have been more of a highway then than it was when Charlotte Abbott wrote her notes. [no date on them]
He was one of the ten freeholders who organized the Andover church, 24 Oct 1645, and was one of the few men honored with the designation "Mr." in the records. He with Mr. Woodbridge, negotiated the purchase of the plantation from the Indians.
He took the oath of allegiance at Andover, 11 Feb 1678; was a selectman in 1674; town clerk 1675; and held other positions of honor. In King Philip's war in 1676 Indians attacked his house. Some of his animals were killed, but he and his family escaped. Since he was the town clerk at the time, the records were lost when his house was burned on 19 Apr 1676.
The land in Andover "was bought of CUTSHAMACHE, the sagamore of MA by Mr. Woodbridge, in behalf of ten inhabitants of Cochicheweck (now Andover). The amount paid was 6 pounds and a red coat. Mr. Edmund Faulkner might have assisted Mr. Woodbridge, as there is a tradition that he purchased the town for ten settlers". Abbott says, "according to the family the fee was 20 gallons of rum and the coat".
There is no gravestone, but a marker has been erected by some of his descendants. The cemetary is fairly close to where his land had been NW of the center of what is now North Andover.

| Notes |
- An entry in the Mass Transcript for May 23, 1923 states that Dorothy Robinson married by Governor Withrop, in Salem, on arrival from England to Edmond Fawlkner, Feb 1, 1647. first American citizen to be married. Will of EF speaks of stepson Joseph Robinson. He came with his mother, a child of about 4 years. Dorothy Robinson had to have come from Kings Linne, Norfolk, where there were Fawlkners. Will of Thomas Slayne of Kings Linne, Norfolk, gives, "To my youngest son, Samuel Slayne.... the pice of pasture ground in Torrington bought of Dorothy Robinson lately." Corresponding so closely to Dorothy's coming to America, this is interesting. According to the book, Pioneer of Mass. by Charles Henry Pope, Gen. Pub. County, 1981,
