Nicholas Byram and Mary Edson children are: Bethia, Margaret, Methitable, Infant Byram, Nicholas 3rd, Mary, Ebenezer, Susanna, Josiah, and Joseph Byram. Both Nicholas Byram and Mary were "first named member" of the Third Church of Christ in E. Braintree, MA and were buried there. He was known as Captain Nicholas Byram. And took an active part in the defense of the settlement. He also held many positions of trust in the town government. Nicholas served in the King Phillip War and was a sea captain. Mitchell wrote: "on Monday morning, May 21, 1676, a company of twenty-one men (including Nicholas) went out supposing to meet Captain Church and his men, but they came upon the enemy, and (Indians) and fought with them, and took seventeen of them alive, also much plunder, and they all returned and not one of them fell by the enemy, and received no help from Captain Church." there was also another skirmish with the enemy in the south part of the town, July 31, 1676, Adams and Nicholas Byram, Jr. are said to have distinguished themselves on this occasion." Captain Nicholas Byram Jr. was said to have been a brave and fearless man and a great fighter and refused to take shelter in the block house, but occupied his own house, which was some distance from the Fort, during the time of King Philip's War. Among the proceedings and enactments of the town, we find that he was also called "Sergeant Byram". One account of him says: "He was one of the members of the Third Church of Christ in East Bridgewater, founded in 1624 where he and his wife were buried, both have died in the Fall of 1727-he in Sept. and she died in Oct.
