  • Notes 
    • The histories state that he (Gideon) came to Chesterfield in 1755, cleared land near Kidd's Lookout, returned to Pembroke for his family; that he joined in the French and Indian War, where he died of smallpox. His widow and four children came to Chesterfield but apparently not to any grant of land on Kidd's Lookout. They settled west of the Westfield River near what is now known as Windy Lane. The widow is supposed to have been buried in the Gate Cemetery. [4]
