Generation: 2
1. Gideon Brayton was born 26 May 1742, Portsmouth, RI. Notes:
Gideon is mentioned in the 1756 Portsmouth will of his paternal grandmother, Mary (Freeborn) Brayton.
I am not sure which Hannah Remington married Gideon. Possibly she was from one of the Remington families on Prudence Island.
Gideon and his family migrated westward. He was Pathmaster for the Town of Stephentown, NY in 1784. He initially settled in Norway, NY, where the first birth was a child of Gideon. Norway has a location called Brayton's Corners (Brayton Family History V. I by Clifford Ross Brayton, Jr.; p 37).Gideon married Hannah Remington Abt 1765. Hannah was born Abt 1745, RI. [Group Sheet]
