HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF THE FAMILIES OF OLD FAIRFIELD, compiled and edited by Donald Lines Jacobus, 1930: Ens. William Gaylord [of] New Milford. THE STANLEY FAMILIES OF AMERICA, compiled by Isreal P. Warren, 1887: William Gaylord, b. ___; m. 1st Joanna ___, and 2d, Mercy ___; removed to Woodbury, and afterward to New Milford, where he died about 1753. HISTORY OF THE TOWNS OF NEW MILFORD AND BRIDGEWATER, CONNECTICUT 1703-1882, by Samuel Orcutt, 1882: Ens. William Gaylord came from Windsor in 1712, and bcame a very successful and influential citizen. His house stood on the corner lot on Main street and Elm ... Mr. Gaylord had what the older people called a "Faculty" to buy land and pay for it, piece after piece, which was located in nearly all parts of the town. This continued until about 1725, when he conceived the idea of emigration, and sold nearly everything he had except his farm on the West Aspetuck, on which he had settled his son Nathan, and pitched his tent or log-house above the straits in the beautiful locality now called Gaylordsville, where he took a new start in buying land, and kept at it until he seemed fairly in the way to rival Minister Boardman in that matter. Besides owning all Gaylordsville, he, with Capt. Stephen Noble, owned 350 acres in Wetaug, now Salisbury, and sold it at a good price. He held also a part of the Fairweather purchase on the east side of the Housatonic; and what more can only be known by reading the history of Gaylordsville. He was not a speculator in land, but bought "to keep," although sometimes he sold a little. He was a busy man, of immense energy and physical endurance, so much so that it almost makes one faint to think of his "drive-ahead powers," buying land, trading land (after he removed), but every time adding a patch above the straits on the Housatonic. A State House was wanted at Hartford. He took twenty pounds of the stock and the General Assembly gave him 100 acres of land at Wetaug. He was a steady, u pright, honorable man, but how he did reach out for land! And he obtained it, too--he did not buy rocks, but the genuine black dirt that made the wheat grow most charmingly. Among other pieces of land he purchased was that whereon stood the only Indian orchard of apple trees which stood in the valley of the Housatonic, so far as we have heard, except the one at New Milford. Ibid, "Gaylordsville": Some account of the settlement of William Gaylord at this place, is given [above]. He was the first white settler in this locality, and the place is named after this family name. When Mr. Gaylord first made his home here, in 1725, he had no neighbors but the Indians within five miles, and probably none nearer than New Milford settlement. There was no house yet built at Boardman's Bridge, and probably none west of West Aspetuck river. As near as can be ascertained he came from Woodbury with his wife and three children in the spring of 1713, for he was here and appointed to office in the town meeting in December of that year, his home being then on the corner lot, where Doct. Charles Taylor now resides, the house standing further south or east than Doct. Taylor's present dwelling. In March, 1723, he sold this home to Thomas Canfield of Milford, and probably made his home that spring at the Straits, now known as Gaylordsville, and here he located land for himself as fast as he could sell the pieces which he had located elsewhere, until he owned several hundred acres, and was one of the most influential and wealthy men in the town. He died in 1753, aged 73 years. ... William Gaylord, who was ensign in the first military company in New Milford, and this title was used to his name until his decease in 1753, settled on the west side of the Housatonic a little distance north from the old home of Ebenezer Gaylord where Mr. George Gaylord now resides. His dwellling was placed near the orchard of the Indian Siacus and probably near his wigwam, where he lived and died. Severa l of his sons were settled on the main road south of him, where some of their descendants still reside. Tradition reports that some kind of a store was kept in early times in a private house, and this was most probably the first house in the place, and perhaps the next one on the same site or near it, which was also, no doubt, a tavern for the accommodation of travelers, for such Ens. William Gaylord kept while residing in New Milford village, and it is said that the first Gaylord families made a business in trading with the Indians for furs as well as other articles.

Joined the first Congregational Church in Woodbury 13 January 1706. His wife was admitted to the same church 17 December 1712. They removed to New Milfrod ca 1735 (one source has 1713 and then 1725 to Gaylordsville). Rev. Stanley Griswold, in his historical sermon, preached in New Milford January 1801, mentions him as son of the early settler there and in the town record in 1712, mention is made of a deed of land "f or a home lot." In 1735 is recorded "a certain tract of land lying at the Strait," where he now lives. This was the original Indian name of the place called Gaylord's Ville. The following copied from his headstone at Gaylord's Ville. "In memory of Mr. William Gaylord, who departed this life, Oct 25, A.D. 1753, aged 73 years." "Homer W.
