GAYLORD.
This family is of French descent and came from Normandy. The name " Gaillard " is found in French history as early as 1248. It is evident that about the middle of the 16th century and during the reign of Edward VI, the first of that name were refugees from persecution in France and settled in England. Here they enjoyed the religious privileges granted by Edward unmolested until the reign of Mary. When Elizabeth came to the throne their privileges were restored and James I, by an Order of his Privy Council, guaranteed to them the peaceable enjoyment of all the privileges al- lowed them by Queen Elizabeth. But in the reign of Charles I persecution commenced, and Archbishop Laud followed them with a malignity which caused many of them to seek an asylum elsewhere. At this time we come to the name of the first emigrant to this country, bearing the name.
I. WILLIAM GAYLORD, from the county of Devonshire, emi- grated to New England in the spring of 1630. He was of a good family and good estate. He came over in the ship Mary and John, arriving at Nantucket, Boston Bay, May 30, 1630, and was made free- man Oct. 19th, the same year. He was chosen a deacon at Plymouth, Devonshire Co., England, March, 1630, when the church was or-

He signed the first land grants in D., and his own grant was recorded in 1633. Was select- man and representative to the General Court in 1635-6 and 8. He removed to Windsor, Conn., in 1638. Between 1639 and 1664 he was elected a member of the Assembly at forty-one semi-annual elections. His wife d. June 20, 1657. He d. July 20, 1673.

This Timothy Gaylord was a lieutenant, his commission is dated March 27, 1757; he was killed by Indians, near Fort Ann, N. Y., in 1759. The time of his coming to G. cannot be determined with cer- tainty. Probably it was in the winter of 1748 or 9. His brother Samuel had been here previous to the sale of the township and had acquired some rights in the south part of the town which he sold to Joseph Francis of Wallingford, July 4, 1738. He sold a one-half interest. It may have been what is called a " squatter's " or " ex- plorer's " right.

HALL.
I. JOHN HALL, immigrant, appears first at Boston, after- wards at New Haven. He was in New Haven as early as 1639, and at Wallingford about the year 1670. He moved to Wallingford after the settlement had commenced, which accounts for the non-appear- ance of his name on the first Plantation covenant, in 1669-70. His sons, John, Thomas, and Samuel, were signers to that instrument. His name appears on the covenant of 1672, and it is quite certain that he had then been some time in the place. In 1675 himself and his son John were chosen selectmen of Wallingford. He died early in the year 1676, aged 71 years. The maiden name of his wife was Jane Woolen.

Oct. 14, 1647, Priscilla, dau. of Matthew Grant of Windsor, "a man of position and influence in the town and church," and this fact gives evidence of the social position and consideration enjoyed by Humph- rey in the community.
