Edward stayed in the British Army until June of 1877, then joined the Army Reserve with pension, so was not left on the side lines. On July 6, 1877, Edward, his mother, brother George, and half brother, George, were baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The baptisms were performed in a creek during a Norwich conference time. Elizabeth and her family emigrated to the United States, sailing on the ship 'Nevada.' Edward took out his citizenship papers as soon as he could. His mother bought a small home in Bountiful with a log cabin in the rear and a two-room brick building on the property front. His mother did nursing for a living and Edward worked at various jobs. One Winter he was employed in Weber Canyon. On January 19, 1888, Edward married Margaret Jane Kippen in the Logan Temple. They moved to Porterville then later moved to a ranch in Mountain Green, which was later owned by Robert Kippen.

Edward and Margaret Jane were parents of five children: James, Catherine, George, Joseph and Janet. The Mountain Green farm was located on Dry Creek and Margaret remembered the delightful friendship she had with Nodie Robinson, a close neighbor. The two women would take their washing to the creek where there was plenty of water. They would build a fire to heat the water in a boiler, then scrub their clothes on a washboard, visiting and reminiscing.
