"Edward, collector of the port of York, married and left issue. He was a man of consideration in the colony, and when Lord Botetourt came over as Governor, he brought a letter of introduction to him from Samuel Athawes, merchant, London.dd"

"father of Col. John Ambler, 1762-1836. When Edward attained the age of twelve years he was sent to England to finish his education, accompanied by his younger brother John. They were entered at Leeds Academy, near Wakefield, in the County of York, at which place they continued for several years, after which they were sent to Cambridge, where they went through a regular course of study and terminated their University career, with the highest credit. The liberality of Mr. Richard Ambler allowed his son Edward to make the grand tour of Europe after he had quitted the University, so that he had passed his twenty-first year before he returned to Virginia. After which event it was not very long before he led to the altar (1754) Miss Mary Cary, the daughter of Wilson Cary, Esquire of Ceeleys, Elizabeth City County, Virginia, who was descended from one of the noblest families in all England. (More about Cary family Volume II, Chapters III and IV.)"

"Edward Ambler, after the death of his father, Richard Ambler,was appointed collector of the port of York, which station he was induced to occupy, rather on account of the honor it conferred in those days, than for the sake of the emolument. He was a man of such consideration in the Colony, that when Lord Baron Botetourt came over to this country as Governor of Virginia, he brought a letter of introduction to him, which was still in the possession of J. J. Ambler in 1825. (J. J. Ambler MS.) Upon the death of his brother John, who gave him Jamestown, he removed there to live, and represented the old borough for many years afterwards in the House of Burgesses. Edward Ambler died and was buried at Jamestown, in the thirty-fifth year of his age, Anno Domini 1768. His wife survived him thirteen years. When the Revolutionary War broke out, she removed with her children from Jamestown to "The Cottage," Hanover County, Virginia, which was a much less exposed situation. Several of her acquaintances and connections removed from the lower country and bought estates near "The Cottage," merely for the sake of society. Among others were Robert Carter Nicholas, Esquire, who bought and lived at the same place, called "The Retreat.""
