The American founder of the family....came with his older brothers, William, Thomas, and Michael, and other relatives to New England, about 1632. They settled first in Cambridge, Mass. and Michael and Gerard removed by 1637 to Lynn. Gerard was made a freeman, 9 Mar. 1636/7. He served on several juries, and in 1653 administered the estate of Michael. He was a ferryman at Lynn, 1639; was Sargeant as early as 1655, and confirmed Ensign of the military company at Lynn, June 1656.
Will dated 17 Sep. 1683; inventory taken on 29 June 1685. Sons Daniel Brainard and William Spencer, Administrators of the estate.
Married Hannah _____, who died before Sep. 1683 (probably earlier). Married second, Rebecca (Porter) Clark, daughter of John and Ann (White) Porter of Windsor, and widow of John Clark of Saybrook.
Gerard appears to have been married at least twice, first to "Hannah" about 1635 and then "Hannah Hills", who may have been one and the same......The name of Hannah Hills appears only once in the IGI records when Samuel, the eighth child was born. (There are genealogies in print that name Hannah Hills as the wife, but, to my knowledge, no real proof has been found).

[7306] Obituary in Long Island Leader, October 18, 1888, indicates she was wife of H. H. Olin, then married John McDougal, residing near Jack Creek, 7 miles SE of Long Island. 11 children, of which 4 are still small.
