"New England History and Genealogy Register," v. 101, p. 285, Article: "Jonathan and Nathan Gillett Descendants": "Samuel Gillett (son of John, grandson of Jonathan), of Suffield, Conn., and Granville, Mass., born in Windsor, Conn., 16 Feb 1677/8. He was five years old when his mother married secondly, Captain George Norton of Suffield, the town that became the boy's home for most of his life. In the later years of his life he lived in Granville, across the line in southwest Mass., and died there 'in 1739, aged 60', but was buried in Suffield. (Northampton Probate Records give administration of estate 1934[typo?]) He married in Suffield, 22 Jan 1701/2 (int. 20 Dec 1701), Rebecca Bancroft (dau. of Thomas, g.dau. of John), born in Springfield, Mass. (part later Enfield, Conn.), 23 Feb 1680... [Her mother] Widow Jane Bancroft received 100 acres in Lynn in 1638. Her daughter Anna married 13 May 1647 Sergt. John Griffin, settled in Simsbury, Conn., had ten children and one of them, Sarah Griffin, married Elias Gillett (son of Nathan). Son Thomas Bancroft of Springfield, Mass. region, residence at the 'lower wharf,' now Enfield, Conn., was a selectman of Westfield; 8 Dec 1653 married Margaret Wright (dau. of Samuel) and their daughter Ruth Bancroft married John Stiles and had many Children; and daughter Rebecca married Samuel Gillett; and son Nathaniel had descendants in Granville, Mass. (and Ohio) and it was probably this connection that took Samuel Gillett from Suffield to Granville. Rev. Ezra Stiles, president of Yale from 1772 to 1795 was the son of Rev. Isaac and the grandson of John and Ruth (Bancroft) Stiles, and he wrote of his grandmother's family: 'The Family of Bancroft are a brisk, smart, quick, sensible and lively cast. Grandmother communicated her family spirit to all (her) Children', etc. (Stiles Gens. 1892 and 1895). Children, born in Suffield: a. Samuel, b. 13 Sep 1702. b. John, b. 16 Jan 1704/5.
