Gunn, Jasper, dIed 1671.
BIRTH: About 1606 (aged 29 on 18 July 1635). Miller & physician who came to Massachusetts Bay in 1635 on the "Defence." (On 18 July 1635, "Jasper Gonn," aged 29, and "Ann Gonn," aged 25, were enrolled at London as passengers for New England on the Defence). First settled in Roxbury; moved to Milford by 1641, Hartford by 1648, & Milford again in 1659. Died in Milford 2 January 1670[/1].
Married by about 1637 Christian _____. She died between 6 May 1690 (date of will) and 31 October 1690 (date of inventory).
Several writers on this family are uncertain with respect to the sequence of the family's removes, and in particular are not sure whether they went straight from Roxbury to Hartford, or went first to Milford. But the records are quite clear. Jasper Gunn and his wife were admitted to Milford church in 1641, and he was given several parcels of land in the early 1640s. Jasper Gunn was certainly in Hartford by 1648, and had perhaps already been there for a year or two. The return to Milford would seem to be placed firmly in 1659, as he both sold land in Hartford and was readmitted to Milford in that year. This last move may have been a delayed reaction to the arrival at Hartford in late 1657 of John Winthrop Jr. Apparently Hartford was not big enough for two physicians.
