Jane LORING was born on 9 Aug 1663 in Hingham, Plymouth Colony.1 She died on 24 Nov 1744 in Sandwich, Barnstable Co, MA, at age 81.2

Harry E. GIFFORD's genealogy incorrectly has Jane (LORING) GIFFORD dying on 14 Apr 1700.5

William GIFFORD is number 11 in the NEHGR article on William GIFFORD of Sandwich MA. Click here to see the page(s) about William GIFFORD

The NEHGR article has a son Joseph for this William. That Joseph, however, was the youngest son of William2 (William1).

The name of William and Experience's son born 13 Jul 1728 is very hard to read in the original records on FamilySearch. The NEHGR article and later transcriptions have the name as William, but it looks more like Nathan to me.

Known children of William2 GIFFORD and Elizabeth WHEATON were as follows:
Experience BOWERMAN was born circa 1683. She married (first) James CLAGHORN on 30 Jun 1712 in Falmouth, Barnstable Co, MA.6 She died after 31 Dec 1740.1

Josiah GIFFORD is number 13 in the NEHGR article on William GIFFORD of Sandwich MA. Click here to see the page(s) about Josiah GIFFORD

The NEHGR article has Josiah's birth date as 17 Feb in one place and 27 Feb in another. The Sandwich town records clearly have 27 Feb.

The NEHGR article says that Josiah was living in Falmouth in 1733. He was named executor in the will of his brother William GIFFORD of Falmouth (died 1733), and refused to serve. However, it does not say that Josiah was of Falmouth. Josiah GIFFORD's nephew, Josiah GIFFORD of Sandwich, was called Josiah Jr in his 1750 marriage record and also in the birth records for his children up to Nov 1754 (but not 1756 and 1758). This implies that the older Josiah died in Sandwich in 1755 or 1756.9

Known children of Josiah2 GIFFORD and Mercy CHADWICK were as follows:

John GIFFORD was an attorney. He was procured by the MATHEWSONs of Warwick RI to lodge a complaint in the name of the King at the January 1760 session against Benjamin COGGESHALL for neglecting his duty to provide for his wife Comfort (PEARCE) (MATHEWSON) COGGESHALL's children by her first marriage. Coincidentally, John's sons Peleg and Josiah married daughters of Comfort.14

John GIFFORD's age at death has him born about 1728, but that makes him too young to have married in 1744/45. He was probably born about 1723. The "32" in his age at death could be a "37".

Perhaps Stephen was born in 1761 and his sister Grace in 1763. Their parents were married in 1760.
