About the year 1820 Edward Gere and his brother Isaac in a spirit of enterprise removed to Williamsburg, eight miles westward, and began life as merchants.
The elder brother married on October 14, 1824, Arabella, daughter of Gross and Mary (Washburn) Williams, of Williamsburg.

He had been twice elected to the board of selectmen of the town, and died while holding that office. He left three sons.
His widow died in Williamsburg on March 5, 1893, in her 89th year.
