  • Notes  Married:
    • Miles Morgan who, wandering in January 1636, on the wharves at Bristol, beheld the fair Prudence Gilbert, about to sail with her parents for America, and thereupon hastily determined to embark on the same ship. On landing in Boston, Miles joined the exploring party of Colonel William Pynchon, which located the town of Springfield. Although the earlyh pioneer admitted he was less than 21 years of age, he soon became 2nd in command. No sooner had the youth received his allotment of land than he started back on foot with an indian guide to Beverly, where the Gilbert family had settled. There he and Prudence were married. He brought her bac, alson on foot, with the Indian and a horse purchased in Beverly, both laden with the bride's household goods, and going before, while Captain Morgan, following with his matchlock and with his bride by his side, made his way through the trackless forest to their new home in the wilderness.
