History of Monmouth and Wales, Volume 1 By Harry Hayman Cochrane
XII A decade of development Page 326
John Gilman, son of Daniel Gilman, who came from New Hampshire with the Epping colonists, was taxed for the first time this year. He married Mary Straw, Daughter of William Straw, and settled on a lot of wild land which is known as the Daniel Whittier place in the Lyon district. After partially clearing this farm, he sold it to Dearborn Blake of Epping, who always known as "Newcome" to Dearborn Blake, to distinguish from Dearborn Blake, the son of Phineas, who had been a resident of the town several years. Mr. Gilman then purchased of the Sawyers the farm on which his son, Alvah Gilman, resided until his decease. This farm had been partially cleared by Abial Bedel, who held a squatter's claim. Mr. Gilman paid him for this claim, and Bedel removed to the eastern part of the state, where he subsequently became a minister of considerable note in the Baptist church. Like his father, Daniel, the pioneer, who has been mentioned on page 100, Mr. Gilman had nine children, of whom all but one of those who reached maturity settled near him. Daniel William Gilman, his oldest son, settled on the farm now owned by his son, Henry Oscar Gilman. This farm was cleared by Jonathan Hoitt, who came from New Hampshire, and whose daughter, Dolly, Mr. Gilman married. Mr. Gilman lived at one time on the Besse place; subsequently in Litchfield and Richmond, hence he returned not far from 186 to the Hoitt farm, where he died, in 1881, at the age of seventy-six
