• Notes

  Edward emigrated with his wife Mary Clark, six children and three servants. Edward was born about 1587 in Hingham ENG, s/o Edward Gilman born about 1557.

Only five children are listed under Edward in the passenger list because his eldest daughter Mary was by 1638 the wife of John Folsom (below).

[2] Ancestor of all the Gilmans in America. Came over on the ship "Diligent" in 163 8. Religious persecution, the cause which expelled the first emigrants from Old England, sent Edward Gilman and his family to Massachusetts; and from this one family has sprung a multitudinous progeny.
