| Notes |
- BIRTH: Colchester Deeds, 2:1:447 (FHL #003889).
MAR #1: Coventry town and vital recs, 1:159 (FHL #003861). Mar entry is torn, erradicating the year of mar or Abigail's surname. The mar year is suggested by the birth of 1st child, Ann, in 1745. Abigail is identified in the will of her father, Joseph Baker of Tolland, Conn., n.d., proved 20 Feb 1754, Hartford District Probate, 17:36-37 (FHL #004555).
MAR #2: "Barnstable, Mass. Vital Records," MAYFLOWER DESCENDANT, 25(1923):133 (FHL #974.4 D25md).
DEATH: MASSACHUSETTS SOLDIERS AND SAILORS IN THE WAR OF THE REVOLUTION, 17 vols. (Boston, 1896-1908), 6:418 (FHL #974.4 M23m). Samuel was "reported deceased" on muster roll of Capt. John Lamont's Co., Col. Gamaliel Bradford's Regt., enlisted 1 May 1777, but appears on a return as late as 10 May 1778. He was perhaps the Samuel Gilbert who died 6 Aug 1778 in Lt. Ephraim Minot's corps of invalids stationed at Boston (MASSACHUSETTS SOLDIERS AND SAILORS, 6:419).
OCC: Revolutionary War soldier.
NOTE: That Samuel Gilbert of Colchester, Conn. is identical to Samuel Gilbert of Barnstable, Mass. is shown by a Sharon, Vermont deed in which Daniel Gilbert gave land to Elisha Goodspeed and wife Abigail, 14 Aug 1800 (Sharon Deeds, 4:286 [FHL #028908]). Daniel conveyed the land to the Goodspeeds for "Love and Goodwill," an expression reserved for close relatives. Abigail, wife of Elisha Goodspeed, is a dau of Samuel Gilbert of Barnstable, while Daniel is the son of Samuel Gilbert of Colchester and Bolton, Conn. Samuel Gilbert was called "of Connecticut" on his marriage record at Barnstable, and Samuel of Colchester disappears from the records of Connecticut after 1754. Also see the letter of Samuel Gilbert of Barnstable to Rev. Eleazer Wheelock of Dartmouth College, 16 Aug 1775, concerning his son Samuel, Jr, and the letter from Samuel Gilbert, Jr, to Rev. Wheelock, 17 May 1774 (Wheelock Papers, #774317, #775466.1, Dartmouth College Archives [FHL #1688638]). These letters show that Samuel Gilbert of Barnstable had a son Samuel from a previous marriage.
