Jonathan and brothers Nathan and Jeremiah Gillette settled early in Windsor,
Conn. and are the progenitors of the Gillette families in America. They sailed
with a company of 140 Puritans from the countries of Devonshire, Dorsetshire
and Somersetshire, England in the ship "Mary and John", arriving off Nantasket,
Mass. 30 May 1630. The ancestors of these men  were French Huguenots living in

of King Henry II. They went to Scotland where they remained about 30 years,
