Supposedly descended from James Gyles, son of Thomas and brother to Thomas and John, all immigrants from England originally to the Massachusetts Bay Colony - see Vinton, The Giles Memorial, 1864.

 

James and family escaped indian wars eventually arriving in Piscataway, NJ, in 1681.

Descendants of James Gyles, the immigrant

"James Giles and his wife Elizabeth arrived in Boston from England in November 1668. They had four daughters who married one to Benjamin Clarke (Ann), one to Joseph Worth (Sarah) and one Elizabeth to William Olden who came to America from England about the year, 1680."

 

"William purchased a farm at Boundbrook Somerset County in this State (writter lived in NJ) near where James Giles his father in law lived. He afterwards purchased a tract of land in connection with his brother in law Benjamin Clark at Stony Brook"

 

Since the letter states that James and Elizabeth had four daughters I though that our Giles branch stopped with the four girls and went on thru their married names. Then a while back I found a copy of both a deed and wills as follows;

Documentation: New Jersey Colonial Documents, Ser. 1, V. 21 (LDS Fiche

#6051369), p. 204.

"1693, April 12. Deed. Matthew Giles of Piscatuay as administrator of the

estate of Major James Giles of the same place, to John Peterson Melot of Perth

Amboy, blacksmith, for all the real property of said James Giles in Piscatway,

180 acres, as per patent of January 6, 1681; and 100 a. there, N. Matthew

Giles, S. Benjamin Clerk,(probably Clarke) E. unapprpriated land. (Side patent of April 25,

1688, Liber B, p. 375, supra.)"

 

All three sources give a son Matthew who was never mentioned in my James Glover letter. An oversite, a grudge, old age and bad memory? Who knows? Now I am seeking his decendants to follow out the Giles line. I think Matthew might have married a Katherine and then a Phebe and had four children, Anne, James, Matthew and Henry. Then I am at a stand still about 1750 or 1760. Do you Bound Brook Giles connect to any of this? I also think that Matthew son James married Abigail Hull Mundy.

 

Would love to share information if we connect.
