1. Jonathan* Gillet, the progenitor of this branch of the family, be-
longed, with his brother Nathan, to the company of about one hundred and
forty Puritans, which was formed in the counties of Devonshire, Dorset-
shire and Somersetshire, England; sailed, with Rev's John Warham and
John Maverick as pastors, in the Mary and John, March 20, 1630, and
arrived off Nantasket, May 30th following, settlement being made at Dor-
chester. He was made a freeman there May 6, 1635. There was " graunted
to Jonathan Gellet : to fence in halfe an acre of ground about his house
leaving a sufficient highway." Further " . . . . the foresayd p'tyes do p'mise
to fetch all the Cowes from Jonathan Gillets house to Mr. Woolcotts . . ." ;
" graunted . . . also to Jonathan Gillet 4 acres" (" over against fox poynt ") ;
" the bounds being from Jonathan Gillets pale &c." ; and " one [lot] the
other side, which was once Jonathan Gilletes."

With the Dorchester Church and Rev. Mr. Warham, he and Nathan re-
moved about 1636 to Windsor, Coan., where he "had a lot granted to him
seventeen rods wide " near Mr. Warhams, and across the Poquonnoc road

lings, to sit in the long seats in church. He gave 4s. 6d. to the fund in aid
