Hi Marge, I have 30 Gifford's in my database. Most are from the Tiverton, Portsmouth, Little Compton, Dartmouth area. Apparently we connect at William Gifford b. 1615 d. 1687, but nowhere else. I don't have any others you mentioned. Was Robert (2) a son of Williams? Also who was William's wife? My direct line is; William Gifford, b. 1615 England, d. 1687 Sandwich, MA. He was my 6th G grandfather. His son Christopher Gifford, b. 1658 Sandwich, MA d. Little Compton, RI (only child I have for William), m. 1615 Deborah Perry. Their child, Mary Gifford, b. 1697, Tiverton, RI d. 1740, Tiverton, RI m. Thomas Borden. Their dau. Deborah Borden b. 1720, m. David Brayton. they were my 3rd G grandparents. My mother was a Brayton. Another connection of the Gifford's to the Brayton's was, Robert Gifford ( no details) m. Sarah Wing, b. 1657/58. Their child Jeremiah Gifford, b. 1681 m. Mary Wright. They had 13 children Their son, Joseph Gifford (one of the 13) b. 1712 married Mary Brayton. Mary was a cousin of mine. Do you have and other children for William Gifford, b. 1615? I would appreciate them. I will give you whatever data you want from my database. Researching Brayton, Cook, Remington, Gifford, Lake, Borden, Peckham, Wordell, Wodell, Rider and many other old New England Families. My Bartlett's are from Canada and far less interesting than my New England Heritage. But I can trace them back to 1710. ----- Original Message ----- From: Marge Costa<mailto:Sisfeather@msn.com> To: RIGENWEB-L@rootsweb.com<mailto:RIGENWEB-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, May 19, 2006 9:45 PM Subject: [RIGENWEB] Giffords -RONALD BARTLETT Hi Ron, I saw where Judy mentioned that you may have Giffords in you tree.
