Edward Convers

Deacon Edward Convers (January 20, 1590 – August 10, 1663) was an early Puritan settler in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and was one of the founders of Woburn, MA.

Convers was very active in town affairs, serving as one of its first selectmen.

He served on "every committee and had a part in every movement that had this new settlement in view."

He was one of the colony's wealthy landowners, and was a farmer, miller and surveyor.

He and his family arrived in Salem, Massachusetts, with the Winthrop Fleet on June 12, 1630, in the early stages of the Great Migration.
