He was made a freeman by the General Court in 1642,and married Sept. 1, 1647, JUDITH DAVIS, daughter of JamesDavis, one of the original settlers, and an emigrant fromMarlborough, England. By careful examination of the records wedo not find that he was interested to any degree in town orchurch affairs. In 1650, Samuel Gild made choice of land atLittle River.
