Hon John 4 Gilman. Councillor. From the New England family History

John 1 Gilman, the second son of Edward 3Gilman,
Sr., was born in Hingham, Norfolk, England, Janu-
ary 10th, 1624, and was there baptized 23 May, 1626.
came to Exeter before 1650, and immediately became
a prominent citizen. From the first he was concerned
with his brother Edward in mills and lumber. After
Edward was lost at sea in 1653, he inherited much
of the latters' property, and took his place in devel-
oping the resources of the town. He was chosen se-
lectman more than one-half the years between 1650
and 1680: was repeatedly elected commissioner to end
small causes ; and appointed upon committees to care
for the town's interests. He had several handsome
grants of land from the town, and a special right of
a gristmill. In the two years before New Hamp-
shire was emancipated from the Massachusetts gov-
ernment he held the office of associate (judge) of the
old Norfolk county court.

In 1680 Mr. Gilman was made a councillor of the
newly erected province of New Hampshire, and in
1682 a judge of the Court of Pleas; but in 1683 he
was by Governor Cranfield relieved of both offices*.

* "At last, after a struggle of many years' duration,
the union of the two colonies was dissolved by order
of the king. New Hampshire was erected into a royal
province, under a president and six councilors, with

It is needless to say that his reputation in theprovince
did not suffer by reason of his removal. In 1693 he
was chosen by his townsmen a delegate to the Assem-
bly, and was made Speaker of the House, and again
chosen in 1697.

He married, June 30th. 1657, Elizabeth, daughter
of James Treworgy (sec) (from which came the
popular Christian name ofTrueworthy), and had six
sons and ten daughters, and very numerous descen-
dants. He built the "log house" oppositethe Great
Bridge, which is still standing. He died July 24th,
1708, (C. H. Bell, History of Exeter. X. H, 1888.)

The oldest house in town is undoubtedly that on
the northerly corner of Water and Clifford Streets,
now owned by Manly W. Darling. It was built by
Councillor John Oilman. He was living in it in 1676,
and there is ground for the belief that it dates back
to 1658. It was constructed of square logs, the upper
story projected a foot or more beyond the lower and
the windows were scarcely more than loopholes. It
was thus completely adapted for the defence of its in-
mates against the attacks of savages, and is known
as a "garrison house." (Picture opp. p. 530.)

an assembly of eleven deputies. The commission was
scaled 18 September. 1679. Guns were fired here
upon receipt of the tidings. John Cutt was appointed
president; Martyn, Vaughan and Daniel of Ports-
mouth. GUman of Exeter, Hussey of Hampton, and
Waldron of Dover were named as the council. Sin-
gular to state, they were every one a firm friend of
the Bay Colony. President Cutt lived but a year after
taking office. Waldron succeeded him for a short
term, when there came upon the stage one of the most
restless, strong-willed and zealous representatives of
royal authority that ever crossed the Atlantic." ( Ad-
dress of F. W. Hackett at 200th Anniversary of the
town of New Castle, N. II.. 1803.)

The original structure was small, and constitutes
the main body of the present house. No doubt ad-
ditions must have been soon made to it, for the first
occupant had sixteen children, all but four of whom
lived to maturity. The wing which protrudes towards
the street was a much later apendage. In this wooden
castle lived Councillor Gilman till his death in 1708.

The place after 178S went into the possession of
Ebenezer Clifford, whoremoved from Kensington to
Exeter about that time. (Bell's Exeter.)

Notes:

Kittery has the distinction of being the oldest town in the State of Maine, incorporated in 1647 -- more than a century and a quarter before the birth of the United States

English settlers first made their home in this area in 1623. The town’s name is derived from Kittery Court, the family home of early inhabitant Alexander Shapleigh in Kingswear, England.

Alexander married UNKNOWN, Lucy in 1602 in Brixham, Devon, England. Lucy was born about 1577 in Kingswear, Devon, England; died after 1641 in Dartmouth, Devon, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
