Not illustrated. 1886 Excerpt: ...he may be the same as this. - b. 29 Aug. 1755; or possibly Benjamin, bapt. Old South, 3 Oct. 1756; or Robert, bapt. Christ Church, 27 May, 1750. There is very little doubt that this is the Peter, son of Benjamin Edes, the Revolutionary printer, b. 17 Dec. 1756, who was a political prisoner with James Lovell in 1775. A copy of his Journal, while in prison, is in the bands of Henry H. Edes, of Boston. See Class of 1760, and note under James Lovell, p. 19; also Drake's Biog. Diet. Born in Rawson's Lane (now Bromficld Street), 1754. Sec Record of some of the descendants of Thomas Clarke, by Samuel C.

II Possibly identical with the same name on Barren's List, though we think that more probably his father (Sabine, ii. 74), and that this is the son, referred to there, who died in 1797. The name McNeal, Class of 1762, may be identical with this, or the note here given may belong under that, but we have preferred to insert it here, as the Christian name here given corresponds to the references. 1- See Drake's Biographical Dictionary; Allen; also Knapp's Biog.
