  • Notes 
    • This "Daniel of Exeter, Rhode Island" wa
      This "Daniel of Exeter, Rhode Island" was the pioneer of the Gill family in Springfield, Vermont. He was a carpenter and mill-wright by trade. He moved from Exeter, R. I. to Springfield, Vt. about the year 1770.
      Previous to his becoming a resident of Springfield, the original proprietors of the town had, at a meeting held by them March 31, 1763, voted to give any person starting a sawmill on their grant of twenty acres of land a set of irons for the mill, on condition that said mill be kept in good repair for fifteen years. This right had been secured by Simeon Stevens and Page Harriman and they by deed, dated Feb. 8, 1771, transferred to Daniel Gill, Jr. the tract in question being locatec at the lower falls on the Black River, now the site of Goulds Mill. (1900)
      Daniel proceeded to blast the rock on his pruchase preparatory to building, expending considderable time and money. Richard Morris claimed the tract by title from the Province of N.Y., and although overtures were made to Mr. Gill by Mr. Morris to settle the difficulty, he abandoned the project.
      Mr. Gill was elected a member of the Legislature in 1784 and again in 1792. While he was attending the session at Rutland, in the latter year, he was presented with a petition signed by 195 inhabitants of Springfield and vicinity bearing the date of Oct. 19, 1792, appointing him and Captain Abner Bisbee agents to select homesteads for them in Upper Canada, in response to a proclamation issued by John G.Somcoe who was Governor of that Province. Returning from that mission, Daniel was taken sick and died at Singsing, N.Y.
