GENEALOGY OF FAMILIES IN WEARE.
EDWARD2, son of John and Sarah Gove, came from England with his parents. He m. Hannah Titcomb in 1660, and settled in Hamp- ton, about 1665; he was a prominent citizen, and in 1683, was a member of the assembly which was dissolved by Governor Cran- field. The dissolution of the assembly caused great resentment among the people of New Hampshire. Gove headed a movement to overthrow the government, but surrendered without bloodshed. He and ten others, including his son, John, were tried for treason and convicted. Edward Gove received sentence of death, and his estate was seized as forfeit to the crown; the others were pardoned. Gove was sent to England and imprisoned three years in the Tower of London, after which he was pardoned, and his estate restored to him in 1686. Edward Gove was the progenitor of all the Goves who have lived in Weare.
