Edward Bulkeley matriculated pensioner from St. Catharine’s College, Cambridge, Easter, 1629. He arrived at New England before his father and the rest of his family. He was at that time barely 21 years old. He joined the First Church in Boston 22 Mar 1634/5, and was made a freeman on 6 May 1635. Edward was dismissed to Concord, 15 Aug 1641. Having acquired a professional education, under instruction of his father, he was licensed to preach the Gospel and ordained at Marshfield, MA, in 1642/3. On the death of his father in 1659, he was dismissed and installed over the Church in Concord as his successor at £80 a year. He preached the Election Sermon in 1680.
    On 5 Mar. 1694, the town of Concord voted, “Whereas the Rev. Pastor, Mr Edward Bulkeley, is under such infirmities of body by reason of great age, that he is not capable of attending the work of the ministry as in time past, being also sensible of the obligations the town is under to afford him a comfortable maintenance during the term of his natural life, that thereby the people may testifie their gratitude for his former services in the Gospel, they do hereby oblige the town to pay Mr. Bulkeley yearly, during his natural life, the sum of £30 in lieu of his former salary.” He accepted this provided he could preach or not as he felt inclined.
