Like his father, Edward was also a blacksmith, and was known to be a "man of sterling qualities." As did his brothers and many of the men of Exeter in those early Colonial days, Edward fought Indians as a soldier serving under Capt. Gilman. He was granted 30 acres of land in Exeter in 1725. In a list of landowners in Exeter in 1725, Edward Scribner is listed as owning 30 acres of land.
Together with his brothers, Edward sued in Exeter in January 1744 Abigail Wiggins for 1/4 of Cloise estate by way of a cause of action for Ejectment in York County, Maine [Index Number: 608720; Court: CCP; Volume/Page: 13-7; Box/File: 95-7]

Edward had seven children, five of whom lived to maturity. They all settled in Otisfield, Maine except the 2nd John and Samuel who settled in Waterborough, Maine. See Sinnett, pages 69-144. It is not known when Edward and Abigail Scribner were deceased, but the entire family settled among the first pioneers of Massabessic Plantation, Penobscot County, Maine, now known as Waterboro.
