INTRODUCTION.

This volume, comprising the family records of the descendants
of James Gilson, now Jilhon, of Rehoboth, Mass., and of Joseph
Gilson, of Groton, Mass., although so insignificant in size, has
occupied much of the author's time for the past three years.

The family records, and other items, have been obtained from
various sources. For the records of the family previous to the
fifth generation, the author has had to rely (mainly) on town,
county and church records, as but few of the name now living
could furnish dates of births, marriages and deaths of their
ancestors.

No one (unless they have had some experience in collecting
material for a work of this kind) can form an idea of the diffi-
culty encountered in trying to obtain the family record of date
of births, marriages, and deaths of our ancestors. People were
very negligent in ye olden time in regard to such matters. All
the town records were imperfectly kept. Perhaps in a family of
eight or ten children, there would be found but three or four
whose births were on record. In another family living in the
same town, at the same time, there could be found no record
whatever.

It has also been impossible to obtain the family record of many
of the name now living, for the reason that they do not take in-
terest enough in the matter to answer letters of inquiry.

It is difficult to compile a work of this kind wherein mistakes
and omissions are not found. It is seldom that individual and
town records of births, marriages, and deaths agree, and which
are the most reliable it is hard to determine. There is often
found a difference of dates in records received from different
members of the same family, In such cases the preference has
been given to town records, when they are to be found.

IV. INTRODUCTION.

The genealogy of the descendants of Nathaniel and James, the
two sons of James Gilson, of Rehoboth, has been arranged in
two parts. The first, called the Cumberland branch, represents
the descendants of Nathaniel; the second, or Attlehoro branch,
the descendants of James.

There is none of the descendants .of either branch (now living)
that knew the degree of relationship between the ancestors of the
two branches. The writer has been informed by a very aged
lady, who is connected with the Attleboro branch by marriage,
that Luke* Jillson, who resided at Cumberland Hill, about seven
miles from the original homestead in South Attleboro, used to
call occasionally to see the grandfather of the writer, (Daniel*).
Luke* and Daniel* were second cousins, and, as this lady says,
knew the degree of relationship existing between them.

The descendants of both branches are noted for their inventive
and mechanical genius. In all mechanical occupations they ex-
cel. Tradition says, the reason our ancestor left England was to
escape a fine for hanging a gate, as that was not his trade or oc-
cupation.

Few of the name have become rich or famous. On the other
hand, few have been poor, or have become a town charge. They
are also noted for their longevity, as the record of births and
deaths show — owing, no doubt, to our Norman or Norwegian
origin. The Gilsons and Jillsons are the descendants of a hardy
and vigorous race, as were most of the early settlers of New
England.

In all dates previous to 1752, between January 1st and March
26th, one year has been added, in order to have all dates corres-
pond with new style.

The arrangement of the work will not require much explanation.
The small numbers prefixed to the names refer to the same person
in the next generation as the head of a family, so that it is very
plain for any one to trace their ancestors back to the first of the
name, or the reverse.

Perhaps at some future time this work will, as others of like
nature that have preceded it, be revised and republished, and in
this connection the writer would say to all of the name, please
send to his address all corrections and omissions that may have
occurred, and to those not represented, their family history for
the next edition.

IKTRODUCTIOK. V.

To all those that have responded to his request for their family
history the writer tenders his sincere thanks.

Among those who have given the writer material assistance in
collecting their family records, and those of their ancestors, are
the names of Edwin M. Jillson, Otisfield, Me. ; Hon. Clark Jill-
son, (Mayor of the city of Worcester, Mass.); Nathan T. Jillson,
Whitehall, N. Y. ; Sylvester W. Jillson, Warwick, Mass. ; Samuel
T. Jillson, South Wilbraham, Mass.; Miss Rebecca S. Jillson,
New London, Ct.; Horace Grey, Pelham, Mass.; Mrs. Samuel F.
Baker, Montville, Ct. ; Miss Lucy M. Jillson, Norwich, Ct. ; Mr.
Charles L. Jillson, Boonville, N. Y. ; James F. Jillson, Chicago,
111. ; Arnold Jillson, South Attleboro, Mass. ; Mrs. C. A. Helmer,
Dayton, Ohio; Benjamin C. Jillson, Pittsburg, Pa., and others.

Hoping that this little work will become the medium of a
better acquaintance among the different members of the family,

I remain, yours fraternally,

DAVID JILLSON.

PREFACE.

According to the best authority, the name Oillson, or Oilson,
is derived from Gill and Giles. Archbishop French, in his book
on words, remarks concerning the Gillsons, that some pronounced
the G hard and others soft, and he. accounts for it by saying
the former were the sons of Gilbert, and the latter the sons of
Giles.

Family surnames were not commonly in use previous to the
tenth century. They were first used in France, particularly in
Normandy. Previous to the Norman conquest the people in
England had generally but one name.

The Gillson name is not found in England previous to the
Norman conquest. The ancestor is said to have come over from
Normandy with William the Conqueror, A. D. 1066, and from
the name of Gillson being found in France, gives countenance
to this.

Many of the name were located in Baresby County, Leicester-
shire, where some of the name now reside. The writer has a
coat of arms sent him by a clergyman of the name, who says that
his ancestors have been located in Leicestershire and Rutland for
many generations. Unfortunately the parish records where most
of them resided do not date back prior to 1 653. It is said that
the Leicestershire property was originally a park of the ancestor
who came over with the conqueror.

The first of the name who emigrated to New England was
William Gillson. He came from County Kent, England, (prob-
ably from the town of Feering, as many of the name were
living there) with his wife Frances and two of his sister's chil-
dren, Frank and Hannah Damon. He settled in Scituate, Mass.,
in 1631, (the history of S. says 1633). He probably came over
in Winthrop's fleet in 1630. He was one of the founders of the

PREFACE. Til.

church in Scituate, (January 8, 1635), a man of good powers of
mind and property, only four in the colony paying a higher tax
in 1633. He built, (says Dean in his history of Scituate,) the
first windmill in the colony for grinding com, which before was
pounded. There is an act of court respecting his mill in 1637.
"It is enacted that ye miller of Scituate shall not take above the
twelvth part for ye toul for grinding corn."

He was an assistant in the government of Plymouth colony
from 1633 to 1638, (with the exception of 1635). In 1633 Ed-
ward Winslow was chosen Governor, William Bradford Dejnity
Governor, and William Gillson one of six assistants. (See
Bailie's Memoirs of Plymouth Col., p. 209).

In the first tax list of Plymouth Colony extant, January 2,
1632-3, William Gillson is assessed 12 shillings. Second tax,
January 2, 1633-4, 1 pound and 7 shillings, paid in corn, at 6
shillings per bushel.

His will is dated January 27, 1639, dying five days after, viz.,
February 1, 1639. Inventory of his estate taken by Anthony
Annable, Henry Cobb and Edward Foster. Amount of the
estate, 229 pounds 3 shillings and 2 pence. He left his estate to
his wife Frances, (no child), and bequests to his nephew and
niece, Frank and Hannah Damon, and kinsman Daniel Romball.
After the decease of his widow, in 1649, John and Hannah Damon
were sole heirs of his estate. They were very young when they
came from England under the guardianship of their uncle
William. The writer has interviewed several of the descendants
of John Damon, now living in Scituate, but could not obtain
any information leading to connect the family of William Gillson
in England with the ancestors of James Gilson of Rehoboth, or
Joseph Gilson of Groton, Mass.

John Damon married Catharine Merritt, June, 1644. There
is an order of court relating to the estate of William Gillson
after the death of his widow. "June 8, 1649, at this court, John
Damon required yt he might enjoy his rights in ye lands of Wil-
ham Gillson, of Scituate. To clear up the aforesaid rights,
papers were read and approved. Whereas, William Gillson did
in his life time require earnestly several parcels of land for his
accommodation, but being required of him by us the reason of
his desire for so much land, heing ancient, and having no issue
of his body to inherit the same after him, his answer was, yt he

hundred and eighty-four pounds five shillings and five pence.

The deed from Samuel Sabin to James Gilson is dated March
20, 1667, and acknowledged the 27th of Febniary, 1673. Re-
corded in Plymouth Land Records, book third, page 333. Wit-
ness, Nathaniel Paine and William Carpenter.

The first division of land to the proprietors, of fifty acres to a
share, was made March 18, 1668-9. The second division of fifty
acres, February 18, 1684. Third division of fifty acres, October
31, 1699. Fourth division of fifty acres, in 1703. Fifth divi-
sion of fifty acres, June 10, 1707. Sixth division of fifty acres,
July 21, 1714. Seventh division of twenty acres, February 21,
1726-7. Eighth division of ten acres, April 14, 1735.

From the proprietors' records it appears they made their own
regulations, gave their own titles to land, and enacted all their
laws relative to the ownership and the original conveyance of
their lands to others. A transfer of a share might be made by
deed, and recorded in the proprietors' books.

The first and fourth division of land, and also a part of the
division in 1707 and 1714, and all of the divisions of land in
1727 and 1735, was taken by James Gilson in what is now
called South Attleboro, and was the homestead farm where he
lived and died, and where his children were born. The second
division and a part of the third division, as also a part of the
divisions of 1707 and 1714, were taken in the west part of the
purchase, now Cumberland, R. I.

This land was on the north and west of what was called Hunt-
ing Hill. This hill is located near land now owned by James
Wetherhead, George W. Clark, and heirs of Nathan Sprague.
He also took up land on the east side of Abbott's Run, near
where Orrin Mowry now resides. His lands near Hunting Hill
were sold by his sons (Nathaniel and James) to Jonathan
Sprague, as the proprietors' books show.

Below will be found a few extracts from the proprietor's records.

** First book of Rehoboth North Purchase lands, page 53.
Bounds of the lands of James Gilson and his son Nathaniel.
Likewise, 50 acres of land laid out to James Gilson and Na-
thaniel Gilson, his son, surrounding his first 50 acres, where his
house stands, laid out March 8, 1705-6." (The bounds are
omitted here).

And immediately following, same book and page, November

PREFACE. XI.

13, 1712, it reads, *' Nathaniel Gilson and James Gilson (his
brother) divided the above said 100 acres of land between them,
and is butted and bounded as in the record above mentioned.
And Nathaniel Gilson's i)art is the east part, (bounds given) and
James Gilson's part is the west part Recorded by Daniel Smith,
Proprietor's Clerk."

There are other entries of laud in the proprietors' books, laid
out to James Gilson, sen., as also to his son James after his
father's death, which occurred in 1712. It would be superfluous
to insert them here. Below are given abstracts of several sales
of land by Nathaniel and James.

"Bounds of the lands of Jonathan Sprague. First book of
Rehoboth North Purchase Lands, page 227. Likewise 25 acres
of land, (be it more or less) bought of Nathaniel Gilson, it being
his father, James Gilson's, in the former division, near Hunting
Hill. (Boundaries are here given.) Recorded July 9, 1708."
And on page 228 it reads, ** Likewise 6J acres on James Gilson's
right sold to Jonathan Sprague, lying adjoining his own land,
north from Hunting Hill. Recorded March 13, 1715-6. Like-
wise, 12i acres sold to sd. Sjirague on sd. Gilson's rights, 6i acres
in the division grant of 1707, and GJ acres in grant of 1714, be-
ing his first lot in sd. division, lying adjoining his own land, west
side of Hunting Hill. (Bounds given.) Recorded March 13,
1715-6. Likewise i of a share right, bought of James Gilson,
which by deed at large doth appear, dated Sept. 28, 1708."

"Lands of Benjamin Crabtree, (page 363). Likewise, three
acres and twenty rods laid out on the right of James Gilson, on
the east side of Abbott's Run, it being partly aj)ine swamp.
(Bounds given). Laid out March 24, 1724-5, (John Foster, sur-
veyor)."

"Lands of Israel Woodcock, (page 402). Eighteen acres of
land bought of James Gilson, lying by his own land, begins by a
chestnut tree by the river, (Abbott's Run). Recorded January 7,
1714-5.

The surveyors were not very exact about the amount of land
laid out to each proprietor. They called it so many acres more
or less. The writer knows that the old hoiuestead lot in South
Attleboro, of two divisions of fifty acres each, contained over
two hundred acres.

Xll. PREFACE.

Now, a word about the change from Oillso7i to Jillson. It
happened, no doubt, in this way. The majority of the early
settlers here were of the middle and lower classes in England,
and at that day very many could not read or write. James^
Gilson, sen., left no papers of any kind, and his son James', in
all deeds, &c., left by him, the originals of which are in the
possession of the writer, were written by others, which he signed,
or witnessed, by making his mark.

In the proprietors' land records the name is written Oilson in-
variably. The FIRST change is found in the Attleboro town
record of births of the children of James', in 1709. It is written
Jelson, a mistake of the clerk without doubt. DanieP wrote his
name Jelson, after the pattern set by the town clerk (or some one
else), for some years, and then changed to Jillson.

Nathaniel' and his wife, in their deed of his share of the home-
stead to Benjamin Day, dated December 18, 1712, signed their
name Oilson, but in the proprietors' land records of Dedham
Gore (now Bellingham), when Nathaniel drew in the first divi-
sion of land. May 19, 1714, the clerk enters his name Jillson,
and it is continued so to be written by all of the descendants of
Nathaniel' and James' (with the exception of some of the de-
scendants of James*,) to the present time.

OF THE DESCENDANTS OF

JAMES' GILSON,

OF REHOBOTH, MASS.

Jo/mes^ There is no record to be found of his
marriage. The name of his wife was Mary, and
they both died a short time previous to the divi-
sion of the homestead between their two sons,
Nov. 13, 1712.

Their tomb stones are in the old burying ground in South
Attleboro, and are common stones from the fields, plainly in-
scribed, "L G., 1712, M. G., 1712.''

The spot where James first located and built his log house can
still be pointed out. It was burnt by the Indians in the summer
of 1675 or 1676, at the time they were scouring the country in
small bands. He was away at the time, (so tradition saith,) and
his wife was at a spring near the house, with her child, washing,
and the Indians did not discover her. If they had, there would
have been no occasion of writing our family Genealogy — ]N'a-
thaniel being an infant at that time. She fortunately eluded
their observation, and escaped with her child to the garrison in
Rehoboth, a distance of six miles, where her husband found her.

James Gilson's proportion of the tax to defray the expense of
King Philip's war, was four pounds eighteen shillings and two

the meadows in the north part of the town, (Attleboro) in 1668.

marriage and birth of children there is no record
extant All that is known of his wife is her
name, Elizabeth, and that they were married
between the year 1700 and 1705. He lived for
several years after his marriage on a part of the
homestead in Attleboro that has ever since been
called the Old Field. The spot where his house
stood can still be pointed out, but a part of the
land he improved has since returned to its orig-
inal state of nature. His two sons were probably
bom in Attleboro, before he removed to Dedham
Gere, (afterwards Bellingham.) Nathaniel had
lived in Bellingham but a short time previous to
his father's death, in 1712. He was living there

at the time the homestead in Attleboro was divi-
ded, (Nov. 13, 1712). Nathaniel sold his share of
his father's estate in Attleboro to Benjamin Day,
the following month, viz., Dec. 18, 1712. This
deed is recorded in the first book of the Rehoboth
North Purchase lands, p. 376. It reads,

"To all persons to whom these presents shall come, Greeting:
Know ye, that I, Nathaniel Gilson, of the township of Dedham,
in the Co. of Suffolk, in New England, Cooper, have, for the
sum of twenty pounds current money, &c., paid by Benjamin
Day, (Husbandman), give, grant, sell and convey, unto the said
B. Day, fifty acres of land, be it more or less, situate in Attle-
boro, it being one half part of a hundred acre lot that was form-
erly laid out to James Gilson, and his son Nathaniel Gilson, viz.,
March 8, 1705-6. The bounds of the whole are the same as in
1705-6. The easterly part of the 100 acres, being the part here
sold by me, the said Nath'l Gilson, there being a stake and heap
of stones, which is the south comer, and a Red Oak and heap of
stones on the west, a straight line from one to the other being
the dividing line. And I, the said Nath^l Gilson, do hereby
covenant and grant to and with the said B. Day, that till the
time of the sealing, and till the delivery of the premises, I am

*' Laid out to Nath'l Jillsofi, (this is the first record of tM

land; thirty acres in the first division, and the ballance in the
second division. Also, Jan. 9, 1717-18, forty-seven acres in the
third day'i^ion, joining the land where his house standeth,''

There are other entries of land on the Proprietors'
records, but it is not necessary to mention them here.
He, as well as his two sons, were large land owners in
Bellingham and Attleboro Gore, (now Woonsocket and
Cumberland, R. I.) Some part, and perhaps all of the
estate originally laid out in Bellingham is no doubt,
by the changes that have been made in Massachusetts
and Rhode Island State line, now included in Woon-
socket, R. I.

Nathaniel, sen., gave his son Nathaniel a deed of
gift of a part of his homestead in Bellingham — it
being sixty acres, more or less — Oct. 25, 1735. Ac-
knowledged and recorded in Suffolk County Records,
Nov. 16, 1736.

I also find in the Proprietors' book of land records,
of Bellingham, a deed of gift (in consideration of love
and affection) of nine cow common rights, from Na-
thaniel, sen., of Bellingham, to his sons, Nathaniel
and Uriah, dated Sept. 1, 1743.

The date of the death of Nathaniel's wife, Elizabeth,
is not known. She probably died previous to 1735, as
her name does not appear in the deed of gift of land
to Nathaniel, jun.

Nathaniel, sen., was no doubt living with his son

Nathaniel at the time of his death, which occurred

and built nearly or quite 150 years ago, is still stand-
ing and in good condition. The house and estate has
always been owned and occupied by the descendants of
Nathaniel to the present lime, and in the adjoining
enclosure, near the house, lies buried many of those
that lived and died on the estate.

The house and estate is now owned and occupied by
Ranselier A. Jillson, a great great grandson of Na-
thaniel.*

Nathaniel Jillson, jun., his eldest son, was appointed
administrator of his father's estate. (There is no men-
tion made of real estate, as he had disposed of that
before his death, by deed, to his sons Nathaniel and
Uriah). On the third day of June he presented the
inventory of the personal property, which is as fol-

22 THE CUMBERLAND BRANCH OF THE

THIRD GENERATION.

Natlumiel,^ James.*

2. Nathanielf^ owned large tracts of land in
Bellingham and Cumberland — common lands —
that he bought of the proprietors at difft^rent
times. Seven acres of land laid out to Nathaniel
Jillson, jun., in 1729, on the rights of Jonathan
Draper. Also, in 1730, five acres which he bought
of the proprietors ; and Feb. 21, 1734-5, two acres
and one hundred and twenty rods of land of Daniel
Jencks, (in the third division in Bellingham), laid
out on the east side of the great river (Blackstone)
west from his house. I also find in Suffolk Coun-
ty Land Records a deed of fifty-two acres and
three-quarters of land that Nathaniel, jun.,
bought of David Wilkinson, in the township of
Bellingham, lying near the great river, dated Jan.
15, 1732-3. Nathaniel was a prominent man in
town affairs. At the first town meeting in Cum-
berland, Feb. 10, 1746, he was chosen one of the
overseers of the poor. And in town meeting held
June 1, 1747, he was chosen one of the Town
Council, which position he held for many years.
He gave his son Nathaniel a deed of gift of a
part of the homestead, dated April 27, 1774. On
said land was a dwelling house, built in 1770.

JILLSON FAMILY. 23

The house is in good condition at the present
writing, and is occupied by one of the grand-
daughters of his son Nathaniel. His will is dated
April 27, 1774, from which I will here give
some extracts :

" I, Nathaniel Jillson, of Cumberland, in the County of Prov-

"Signed, sealed, published and declared, by the said Nathaniel
Jillson, as, and for, his last will and testament, in the presence
of us, whose names are herewith written.

JAMES DEXTER, NATHANIEL JILLSON.

DAVID DEXTER,
JOHN DEXTER."

His will was proved June 3, 1782. His widow,
Sarah, dying before she had rendered her account of
the estate, Nathan, her son, was appointed to make
the final settlement.

The description and boundaries of bequests of land

JILL80N FAMILY. 25

in Nathaniers will are very fully given. The descrip-
tion is omitted, as it would occupy too much space
and be of no particular interest to any one.

Sarah Jillson's will is dated Nov. 4, 1783, in which
she makes the following bequests, (said bequests to be
paid within one year after her death) :

^' To Nathan, twenty Spanish mill dollars and her side saddle,
and appoints him executor. To Nathaniel and Luke, one Spanish
mill dollar each. To her daughter, Martha Aldrich, her gold
beads and silver sleeve buckles. To her daughter, Bhodia Jill-
son, thirty Spanish mill dollars. And to her four daughters,
viz., Hannah, the wife of Joab Aldrich, Martha, the wife of
Nathaniel Aldrich, Bhodia Jillson, and Waite, the wife of Dutee
Ballou, all her remaining goods and chattels."

4:S. Willidfit^^ was (in connection with his hro-
thers) a manufacturer of cotton goods, in Willim-
antic, Ct. He was for a numher of years President
of the Cumberland bank, in his native town. It
is said that he was a person very fond of a prac-
tical joke. It is related of him that on one of
his journeys from Cumberland to Connecticut, he
had occasion to stop for refreshment at a public
house where he was not personally known. On
paying his bill, he purposely, (there being quite a
number of persons present,) produced a roll of
bills of the Cumberland Bank, minus the Presi-
dent's signature, signed his name to one of them,
and gave it to the landlord for the payment of his
bill. Soon after he left the house the people
present concluded he must be a forger, or some-
thing worse, pursued him, (as he supposed and
hoped they would). He drove a fast horse and
led them on till he arrived at the place where he
usually stopped, and was of course well known.
The pursuing party returned rather crestfallen,
after being convinced that he was in the habit
of signing (as President) all bills issued by that
particular bank. He married, in Wrentham,
Mass., 12 of 9 m. 1813, Elizabeth, daughter of
William and Mary (Everett) Pond, of Wrentham,
who was bom 12 of 2 m. 1791, and died March
27, 1835.

sheep ; neither have we been to jail or State pris-
on ; have preserved the Jillson name, taking no-
thing therefrom. Indeed, I think I may say that

Butted and bounded as followith, — The first corner is a stake
and stones, being the south east corner of my home lot, and the
south west corner of Benjamin Day's home lot. Thence, north-

white oak with stones about it, and is a corner of the land I
have given to my son James. Thence, westerly, on a streight
line to a stake and stones about it in the old field, and from said
stake and stones, running westerly, a strait line, to a white oak,
being a range ti'ee of my last little lot laid out upon birch hill,
that joins to Noah Carpenter, Jr.'s land; And from thence
southerly, to a stake and stones by the country road, thence

237 • Capt. AmosJ^ When about the age of
seventeen he went to Norwich, Ct., and learned
the trade of stocking guns. He m. in Norwich,
Jan. 1, 1764, (by Hezekiah Huntington, J. P.,)
Mrs. Mehetable Hunn, of Norwich, who was born
in 1739, and died in Norwich, Sept. 9, 1831, aged
92 years. They separated previous to the year
1776. She remained in Norwich, and supported
herself and children by working at her trade,
(tailoress). After her sons were married, she re-
sided with them alternately. Amos returned to
Attleboro, Mass. His name appears as Ensign in
Col. Christopher Lippitt's Regiment, that was
raised in January, 1776. This Regiment joined
Washington's army at New York, and was in the
disastrous action on Long Island, — also in the
battles of Trenton and Princeton.
It seems that Amos did not march with this Regi-
ment, for his name appears as Lieutenant in Captain
Gideon Wescott's Company, belonging to Col. Robert
Elliott's Regiment of Artillery, raised in Rhode Island.
A Brigade of three Regiments were raised in Rhode
Island, — enlisted in December, 1776, — two Regiments
of foot of 750 men each, (Cols. Topham and Crary,)

JILLSOX FAMILY. 139

and one Regiment of Artillery of 300 men, command-
ed by Col. Robert Elliott. They served three years
and three months, and were stationed in various parts
of the State until the evacuation of Newport and the
Island of Rhode Island by the British, under General
Clinton and Lord Percy, Oct. 27, 1779.

Amos was a recruiting oflBcer for Col. Robert El-
liott's Regiment. " Return of men enlisted by Lieut.
Amos Jillson, from Dec. 27, 1776, to April 25, 1777,—
fifteen men. Bounties, £94 16s.; wages, £26 128.
To enlisting the 15 men, £6. Amos was Lieutenant
till June 23, 1777,— then appointed Captain Lieuten-
ant. Amount of wages for twelve months and seven
days, £135 17s. 4d.

Repoift of the committee of the Legislature of Rhode
Island, in 1785, appointed to ascertain the amount due
the oflBcers and soldiers of the Rhode Island Brigade,
on account of the depreciation in paper money : " The
amount of depreciation due to Capt. Amos Jillson was
£74 lis. 4d. The balance of depreciation is still due
from the United States to the R. I. Brigade, amount-
ing to more than 60,000 pounds."

After the close of the war in Rhode Island, (1780,)
he m. for second wife, Hannah , and perhaps re-
sided in Providence, R. I., for several years. He had
commenced to build a house on a part of the homestead
in Attleboro, but when nearly finished it was accident-
allv burned. He removed with his family to Troy,
N. Y., {probably with his brother Amaziah,) in 1792,
and was accidentally drowned in the Hudson river, at
Troy, in January, 1794. His widow (Hannah) was
appointed administratrix of his estate, Feb. 10, 1794.
She accepted the trust, but her proceedings thereon

275. Sylvester,* b. May 2, 1773; d. in West Dummerston, Vt.,
Jan. 30, 1863.
Samuel,* b. Apnl 18, 1775. He entered the merchant ser-
vice, as a sailor, at an early age, and was impressed on
board an English man-of-war previous to the war of
1812. He ran away several times. Once, when the
ship lay near the Island of Jamaica, he swam ashore in
the night and lay concealed in a cane brake for several
days. He hired a negress to briug him his food, which
was the cause of his recapture. She, expecting a re-
ward, informed the Lieutenant where he was, and one
night he awoke from pleasant dreams by feeling a sharp
pain in his leg, caused by the point of the officer's
sword. The Lieutenant sang out, " Sam, aint it most
time to go aboard?" He made a virtue of necessity and
went, and in the morning received three dozen lashes.
The marks of these and others that he received while on
board the English man-of-war were carried to his grave.
England was at war with France at this time, and it
happened that he was in several engagements. Once,
(the writer well remembers hearing him tell the inci-
dent,) in cutting out a French vessel of war, under the
walls of some fort or town, at night, by boarding with
boats from the English ship, it did not happen to 'be a
complete surprise, for as Samuel climbed the vessel's
side a marine struck off the head of the man by his
side. It happened to be a messmate of his, which ex-
asperated him so much that after reaching the deck and
. taking off the fellow's head with one blow of his cut-
lass, he commenced using it as a football — when the
Lieutenant advised him to take another head. When
war was declared between this country and England, he,
like every other true American sailor, refused to fight
against his native country, and was sent with others to
Halifax and confined in Dartmoor prison, where he re-
mained till the close of the war, when he returned home.
He had been from home more than twenty years, and no
one recognized him. It was evening when he called at
his father's house and asked for a night's lodging, (in a
disguised voice,) and was refused, being told by his father

JILLSON FAMILY. 149

that they were not in the habit of keeping stragglers over
night; but when he spoke in his natural voice, and said,
^*MU 1 will Rtay^^ his mother recognized him. He still
continued to follow the sea, until the death of his bro-
ther (David). From that time till his death he remained
at the homestead and labored on the farm. He died
unmarried, June 14, 1834.

was from home on his last voyage three years
and ten months. He had purchased, in 1797,
previous to his last voyage, a small estate in Nor-
wich, near Bean Hill, in which his mother held a
life lease — this estate was afterwards enlarged by

last voyage, about the year 1803, he bought a
place in Bozrah, now known as the village of
Fitchville ; resided there eleven years, and kept a
public house, (still known as the Jillson Tavern).

OBITUARY, (by REQUEST).

"John Gardner Clift, a devoted Christian for nearly forty
years, fell asleep in Jesus, at his residence at Mystic River, Gt.,
Feb. 18, 1875, aged 67 years and 11 months. He lived in the
enjoyment of the full confidence of the community and conscious
favor of God. He has been an honored member of the Method-
ist church at Mystic Bridge since 1836. He possessed an intelli-
gent B,nd positive piety, which was aided by reading the Christian
Advocate, for which he has been a subscriber longer than he has
been a member of the church. In feebleness, the companion of
his youth waits for her summons hence, and the happy reunion
of those that die in the Lord."

parents came to Vermont when he was three years
of age. His mother, Susan Dustin, was a lineal
descendant of the brave Hannah Dustin, of Hav-
erhill, Maas., who, with her nurse and infant,
were taken captive by the Indians, March 15, 1697.
She was the mother of eight young children, the
youngest but a few days old. Her husband caught
the alarm and flew from his labor to save them
and their mother, who, with her nurse, were
within doors. Hurrying away his seven eldest
children, he succeeded in making good their es-
cape to a fortified house. Meanwhile, the mother
with her nurse and infant were taken by the In-
dians, but before they had gone many steps they
dashed out the brains of the infant against a tree.
The mother's heart would have sunk, but she
thought of her surviving children and summoned
strength to march with the savages towards the
Canadian frontier. One night, on an island in the
Merrimac, a little before daybreak, while the In-
dians were heavy with sleep, she encouraged the
nurse, and a captive lad, to nerve themselves to
the work of retribution. They armed themselves
with tomahawks and struck with convulsive
energy, until of the twelve sleepers, ten lay dead

honor due to weak women, who knew how to rise
superior to the natural infirmity of their sex.

PREFACE,

The writer has given in the following pages all that can be
obtained from County, Town, and Church Eecords relating to
the genealogy of the descendants of Joseph Gilson, of Groton,
Mass., down to the names and date of births of the children of
the fourth generation. He also has obtained the family records
of some branches down to the present time; but mfew have re-
sponded* to letters of inquiry, that a connected genealogy of all
cannot be arranged.

If any of the descendants of the Groton branch will take the
matter up where the writer has left it, and continue the genealo-
gy to the present time, any assistance that he can give will be
freely made.

DAVID JILLSON,

South AttleborOy Mass,

JOSEPH GILSON.

Of the history of Joseph Gilson previous to his marriage, in
Chelmsford, Mass., the writer can obtain no information from
County or Town Records, here or in England. He married in
Chelmsford, Mass., (by Capt; Johnson, of Woburn,) Nov. 18,
1660, Mary Caper. He removed from Chelmsford to Groton,
Mass., previous to March 5, 1665-6. At a town meeting held in
Groton, March 5, 1665-6, the town agreed with several of the
inhabitants to build a common pound, viz., Joseph Gilson, Joseph
Page, and Daniel Pierce. I find by the history of Groton, (pub-
lished in 1848, by Caleb Butler, for which I am indebted for
much valuable information,) that at the period of King Philip's
war, in 1675 and 1676, those of the inhabitants of Groton who
had not taken their families to the garrisons, or block houses, had
removed to some safer locality. The names of those who availed
themselves of the protection of the garrisons are given, and as
the name of Joseph Gilson is not on the list, he had probably re-
moved to Concord, Mass., in the fall of 1674, or spring of 1675.
Joseph died in Concord, in April or May, 1676, as I find by the
inventory of his estate returned from Concord, and recorded in
Middlesex Probate Records at Cambridge. The widow and chil-
dren probably resided in Concord, or in that part of the town
which is now Stow, (incorporated in 1683,) for some time. The
date of her death is unknown. Two of the sons of Joseph, viz. :
Joseph and John, returned to Groton, as the births of their chil-
dren are recorded there. What became of Timothy is not
known. The records of Groton give the births of two children
of a Timothy Gilson and wife Percis, viz. : Jonathan, born Dec.
15, 1726, and Timothy, born Oct. 29, 1730, (perhaps a son of
Timothy, sen.) Joseph, sen., was one of the original proprietors
of Groton. The name has ever prevailed in town to the present
time. They have resided in those parts of the town set off to
Pepperell and Dunstable, and in the northerly and easterly parts,
as it is at present. Joseph located in what is now a part of
Dunstable, set off from Groton in 1793.
