When did Noah die?

The 2 Mar 1739 date of death given by Alice Priest in her article about brothers Jonathan and Nathan Gillett in NEHGR 101:47 was likely miscopied from the death of his son Noah. Listings from Colchester church records (Ancestry.com. Connecticut, Church Record Abstracts, 1630-1920 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: 2013, Volume 018, p 132, image 135 of 355) include:

"Noah,had st.b.son,Oct.12,1735

Noah,s.Noah,bp.Feb.17,1739,by Rev. Ephraim Little

Noah,s.Noah,d.Mar.2,1739,AE 1 month"

From those entries, it appears that Noah (Sr) first had a stillborn son named Noah and then a second son by that name who also died young.

No further information about the elder Noah and his wife Abigail has been found.
