  • Notes 
    • Notes of Douglas Wright Cruger
      Cruger, 1989, Colonial Lineage, p50:
      Gershom Proctor was one of the leading citizens of Chelmsford, when it was
      still considered the western frontier. H married late in life - his wife was
      18 years his junior. Their youngest child was born when Gershom was 62 yrs
      old. Gershom left no will, but he left an estate valued at 1683:1:0 pounds, a
      substantial fortune for the times.
      The name "Gershom" held special significance for Puritan families, already
      fond of naming children for favorite characters from the Bible. "Gershom"
      means "exile," and was commonly given to the first male born in the New World.
