Sardis Chapman wrote in the Searle Record, "John Searle(1) in 1635 in company with others came to Springfield, Mass., as first settlers of that place. His home lot was a little north of the Union Depot of that city. He married, March 19, 1639, Sarah Baldwin, but they were separated by his death August 11, 1641. He left a son, John(2) Searle, born March 30, 1641. He made his will eight months before, and may have been in feeble health. His widow married April 28, 1642 the next spring, Alexander Edwards. In 1655 they removed as first settlers to what is now the city of Northampton. They are the ancestors of all of the name of Edwards and Searle in the Connecticut valley."
