 General Notes:
William1. Gaylord was one of the one hundred and forty persons who embarked at Plymouth, Eng., on the Mary and John, on Mar. 20, 1630, and landed, May 30, at Mattapan, or Dorchester, Mass. There was "preaching and expounding of the word of God every day for ten weeks together by our ministers," wrote Roger Clap. In 1635 some of the party journeyed to the Connecticut Valley and located at what is Windsor, bringing their church organization with them. The two hundred and seventy-fifth anniversary of this church was celebrated at Windsor in Nov., 1905. The Rev. Mr. Warham, who came over with them was their pastor till his death in 1670. William Gaylord, a life deacon, held many local offices and died in 1673, aged eighty-eight.
William married Sara in En. (Sara died on 20 Jun 1657 in Hartford, Connecticut, USA.)
