Hello Marge. While I don't have the answer to the question you asked, I do have some information on a Fall River, MA Gifford. I currently have in my possession both volumes of Genealogies of Rhode Island Families, pub. 1983. In Volume I on page 135 there is a Mary Gifford listed as follows under "Jefferson Borden of Fall River, Mass.: Mary Gifford (3) [Christopher (2), William (1)] b. Oct. 6 1695, no death date married Thomas Borden (4) [Richard (3), John (2), Richard (1)] b. Dec. 8 1697, m. Aug. 14 1721, d. 1740 Tiverton, RI. Hope this is some connection to your Giffords.
