Edward's death is not documented but is believed to have been in Hadley at about the date cited. See e.g. Tercentenary Commission of the State of Connecticut No. 35, "The Regicides in Connecticut", Lemuel Aiken Welles, 1935 or "History of Hadley...", Sylvester Judd, H.R. Hunting & Co., Springfield, MA 1905. Because of the lack of documentation of his death, all sorts of theories about the fate of Edward Whalley have been put forward. William Whalley Camas, WA USA
