Edward Frisbye, one of the earliest settlers in Branford, (originally Totoket) in the colony of New Haven (now part of present day Connecticut), came from England. The names of his parents, his date and place of birth in England and the date of his arrival in America are unknown. He is said to have married in 1644 (name of wife is uncertain) and possibly two other times. He "is on record as having entered his name for land December 15, 1645"--Page 19. An active Congregationalist, he was also involved in civic affairs. The will of Edward Frisbye was dated 20 October 1689. His estate was inventoried 26 May 1890. Descendants lived in Connecticut, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maine, New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, Texas, California and elsewhere.
