He had nine children born in England and their baptismal records appear on the Parish Records of St. Mary's La-Tour, Ipswich, England. Sketch of the History of Newbury, Newburyport and West Newbury by Coffin, we learn that in 1639 Edmund Greenleaf was an Ensign and allowed to keep a "House of Entertainment". The license for this "Ordinary" was transferred to his Son-In Law, Henry Sommerby. This makes descendants of Edmund Greenleaf eligible for membership in the lineage society "Flaggon and Trencher, Descendants of a Colonial Tavern Keeper". He was an Ensign in the Newbury Militia Company in 1639 and a Lieutenant 1642-1647. According to Ancestral Records and Portraits, his name was found in the first division of home lots.
