Edward Dowse (October 22, 1756 – September 3, 1828) was a U.S. Representative from Massachusetts. Born in Charlestown in the Province of Massachusetts Bay, Dowse moved to Dedham in March 1798 to escape the yellow fever epidemic in Boston.[1][2] He purchased five acres of land on both sides of the Middle Post Road, today known as High Street.[1][2] He lived in an already existing house at first, and then built a home on the land in 1804.[a] His brother-in-law was Samuel Nicholson, the first captain of USS Constitution.[1]
During his 1817 tour of the country, President James Monroe visited Dedham and stayed in Dowse's home.[2]
After the Revolution, he became a shipmaster and engaged in the East Indian and China carrying trade. Dowse was elected as a Democratic-Republican to the Sixteenth Congress and served from March 4, 1819, until May 26, 1820, when he resigned. He also served as a representative to the Great and General Court in 1821.[3] He died in Dedham on September 3, 1828. He is interred in the Old Village Cemetery.[4]
