Jonathan Gilbert

(say 1620 - following 1678)
Jonathan was born say 1620. He married Mary White on 29 January 1646/47. It is not at all certain that the Jonathan Gilbert who married Mary Wells is the same who married Mary White, but it is probable. He married Mary Welles say 1660. He was "of Hartford." He was appointed executor of his mother-in-law's (Frances[?] Welles Coleman's) estate when she died in 1678. Jonathan died following 1678.
