HISTORY OF BRUNSWICK, TOPsUAM, AND IURPSWELL.
citing The Giles Memorial as source
GYLES, THOMAS.1
Thomas Gyles resided in Topsham until late in the autumn of 1674, when, on account of the death of his father, and not because he was driven away by the Indians, he went to England with his family. Having obtained possession of his father's property, he returned to New England, probably in the autumn of 1675 or spring of 1676. He intended returning to Pleasant Point, Topsham, but was prevented by the Indian war then going on. In the summer of 1677 he returned there, but finding the place deserted, he went to Pemaquid.
"He was a man of wealth. ... He was also a gentleman of great personal worth, of high religious character, a strict, unbending Puritan, a careful observer of the Sabbath, faithful and fearless in the discharge of all his duties. As a magistrate (at Pemaquid) and ruler, who must be a terror to evil-doers, as well as a rewardcr of those who do well, he met with much difficulty in enforcing the laws among a people who had long been accustomed to live without restraint."
