  • Notes 
    • Gabriel Wheldon was probably born in Nottinghamshire, England about 1590. Sometime before 1638 he sailed to America accompanied by his grown children, but not his wife who had probably died. On September 3, 1638 he was licensed by the Plymouth court to dwell at Mattacheese (Yarmouth), Massachusetts and to have land there.

      His next appearance in Plymouth records is June 17, 1641 when the court orders "William Lumpkin and Hugh Tilly to pay 15 shillings to Gabriel Whelden for his third part of a skiff or boat they were partners in and for his damage sustained in the want thereof to fetch fish to fish his corn with, the boat or skiff to be theirs."

      In 1642, Gabriel was listed as surveyor of highways for Yarmouth, and June 1, 1647, he was presented and sworn for the same office. August 23, 1645, he was one of five men from Yarmouth who fought against the Narragansets and their confederates.

      October 27, 1646 Gabriel gave consent for his daughter Ruth to marry Richard Taylor. A year later, on January 25, 1647, he was also married to Margaret Wampanag in Yarmouth. He and Margaret had a daughter, Sarah Wheldon, on June 21, 1650.

      It appears that before May 14, 1648, he had sold land in Yarmouth to Edward Sturgis. October 21, 1653, Gabriel Whelden, and his youngest son John, sold lands in Arnold and elsewhere in Nottinghamshire, England, to William Crofts of Lynn, New England.

      Gabriel died about 1654, and in his will gave 10s. to the church in Malden and the rest of his estate in that town, consisting of house, lands, cattle and corn, together with the money due him from William Crofts, to his wife Margaret. His will mentions no children. The inventory of his goods, chattels and cattle amounted to £40 11s. 8d. His sons, Henry and John, brought suit in 1655 for their portions of the estate.
