    "3. Henry2 Gilbert (Thomas1) took the oath of allegiance at Springfield, 1678, and settled there. In September, 1688, he was sent by Col. Pynchon to Brookfield in command of a party 'to scout out and make a fortification there' They built what is known to history as the 'Gilbert Fort,' which served as a defence of the inhabitants in subsequent Indian Wars. He removed to Brookfield in the spring of 1691, and located adjacent to the Fort. There is no doubt that he (as well as his brother) received an allotment of land as an inducement to settle, which he continued to hold, and which by subsequent grants was added to, so that in all he received no less than 681 acres. He was prominent in civil affairs, and deacon of the church; died Aug. 17, 1740."
