"John Guile2 (Samuel1), son of Samuel and Judith (Davis) Guile, born at Haverhill, Mass., Dec 8, 1652, married Widow Sarah Sutton. He was the executor of his father's will, and was made a freeman at Newbury in 1678. In 1686, in open town-meeting, he charged Lieut. Johnson with attempting to cheat him by altering the bounds of land at Flaggy Meadow and taking in "near forty or fifty acres." A committee found that he and twenty others had trespassed upon the town ways. In 1694, for the sum of £16, he offered the town 'the side hill adjoining Great Pond,' which offer was accepted, he to receive 'one-third current money, one-third good Indean corn, and one-third good fat cattle fit for slaughter.' He was a house carpenter, and moved to Preston, Conn., in 1700. In a deed given in 1718, he is called of Providence, R. I., and March 31, 1726, Joseph Guile of Providence gave bonds as administrator on the estate of John Guile of Providence."
