"28. Samuel4 Gilbert (Samuel3 Jonathan,2 Thomas1), born at Hartford, Conn., Feb. 5, 1687/8; died in Gilead parish, Hebron, Conn., May 1, 1760 (gravestone); … Samuel Gilbert probably resided in Hartford until 1707 and removed with his father to Colchester in that year. There is a possibility that he went northward to Northfield or Deerfield, for there he met his wife, Mercy Warner. After his marriage he located not in Colchester, but in the town of Lebanon. His children were baptized by the pastor at Lebanon until 1717. About this time he removed and settled in Gilead parish of Hebron and continued there until the end of his days. He was appointed Ensign of the North Company or Trainband in the town of Hebron in 1745 and Captain of the Trainband in Gilead parish in 1749. His will [Colchester Probate Records, vol. 3, p. 56], dated Sept. 20, 1754, mentions five sons and five daughters. His estate, personal only, was £161.13.06. He was a large landowner."
