(A4) ANDREWS/WHITING/GILLETTE - William & Lois (ANDREWS)
WHITING were my 3rd-great-grandparents. Since the Wallingford vital
statistics do not give the date, she may have been of Quaker par. William
WHITING, son of Lt. Gamaliel & Anna (GILLETTE) WHITING
was b. at Canaan, Litchfield Co., Conn., 11 Feb. 1757; d. at Richford, Tioga
Co., N.Y., 11 Mar. 1838. According to the Bradford genealogy all of their ch.

Feb. 1808, dau. of John & Mary (WILLIAMS) GILLETTE; m. at
Canaan, Conn., 18 June 1752 Gamaliel WHITING. Both d. at Great
Barrington, Mass. See TAG, July 1949, p. 184, for Jacobus’s records of
this branch of the GILLETTE family, traced back to Rev. William
GILLETTE, Rector of Chaffcome, Co. Somerset, England, who d. there before
2 Apr. 1641.

(A121) BREWSTER - Nathaniel BREWSTER, b. ca. 1620, prob. son of
-Francis and Lucy BREWSTER (see Weis, Frederick L., Colonial Clergy of
New England, p. 39). Par. of Rev. Nathaniel BREWSTER of Brookhaven
(Setauket, LI., N.Y.): [From] a deed dated 17 June 1707, rec. in Vol. 3, p. 13,
old New Haven land records: Timothy BREWSTER, grandson and heir of Mr.
Francis BREWSTER, deeds land for land received from his grandfather
Francis BREWSTER to Joseph TUTTLE & Richard MILES.
Timothy was the son of Rev. Nathaniel BREWSTER, so the above deed proves
Nathaniel to be the son of Francis BREWSTER. (Ref. Genealogy of Conn.
Families, from the Register, Vol. 1, p. 220.) Francis BREWSTER was
from London (according to Savage, James, Genealogical Dictionary of the First
Settlers of New England, Vol. I, p. 244). Francis BREWSTER from
Bristol, Gloucestershire, Eng., to New Haven, Conn., acc. to manuscripts of
Chas. Edward Banks (Ref. Topographical Dictionary of English Immigrants,
p. 56). Nathaniel BREWSTER had three sons, John, Daniel, and Timothy, by
w. Sarah LUDLOW (Ref. Bergen, Tunis Garret, Gen. of State of New
York, LI. ed., Vol. I, p. 109). Bergen also states that Nathaniel was
supposedly the son of Jonathan (William) BREWSTER. However, it would
seem that the above references indicate that Nathaniel was the son of Francis
rather than Jonathan.

(A121) See TAG, Vol. 13, a series of articles written by Donald Lines
Jacobus. We find that Nathaniel’s par. were Frances & Lucy (____)
BREWSTER. Frances was chirurgeon in New Haven, Conn. Nathaniel’s
grandfather was also a Frances, This Frances was a butter maker and resident
steward of Bristol Castle, Bristol, Eng. (TAG 13 [July 19361:8-21). In
#2 of this series appears a copy of Nathaniel’s will mentioning his second w.
Sarah and his boys by name but not his daus. The complete list of ch. of both
w. appears in #3, Jan. 1937.

(A539) SHEPARDSON/HANCOCK -Nathaniel SHEPARDSON, Esq., of
Arnold’s Mills, Cumberland, RI.: When Francis Wayland Shepardson wrote The
Shepardson Family (1907), he expressed uncertainty (pp. 4, 5) as to where to
place various Nathaniels. He incorrectly identified Nathaniel
SHEPARDSON, Esq., as the son of Nathaniel4. I am exceedingly
grateful to Esther L. Friend of Plainville, Mass., a local historian, who has
been able to clear up the confusion by providing me with tombstone inscriptions
from Peck Cemetery, Cumberland. Along with the Attleborough VRs, we are able to
establish that Nathaniel Shepardson, Esq., was b. 18 June 1731 and d. 23 Apr.
-1817. He was bur. beside his first w., Sarah FOLLET(T) (1729-1773),
