Text From Source: Samuel, b. about 1680; living in 1699. That he died young and
unm. is clearly evident from a quit-claim deed, given Aug. 15, 1727, by his
brothers Thomas and John, and his sisters Mary Brewer, widow, and Margaret
Webber, wife of Jonas Webber, sawyer, all of Boston, as heirs of Thomas Gyles,
late of Pemaquid, to the Pcjepscot Company, of lands once belonging to the said
Thomas Gyles, in the townshiji of Topsham. The said Pejepscot Company quit-claim
to the said heirs sixty acres of land on the point where their father's house
stood on Muddy River, and five hundred and fifteen acres on Cathance Point, over
against it, as an equivalent for their father's land on the South side of said
Muddy River. [York Deeds, 2S : 102.] This instrument, in which Samuel Gyles is
not mentioned, is full proof that he was not then living, and that he had no
heirs.
