  • Notes 
    • A Jeremiah Gifford witnessed deed executed by Stephen Wing on the 2nd day of December, 1700, concerning Stephen's property in Sandwich, MA. If the Jeremiah who witnessed this is the son of Sarah Wing, then he was signing a deed of his grandfather.

      Jeremiah & Mary settled in Dartmouth, where all of their children were born.

      Jeremiah left no will, but during his lifetime deeded land to his sons Joseph, William, Jonathan, Isaac, Peleg, Benjamin, Adam, & David. Another son, Gideon, died in 1760, and in his will he mentioned by name sisters Elizabeth, Margaret (Potter), & Sarah (Parks), and a brother John.

      Jeremiah & Mary had two sets of twins. Note: "Soule descendants have shown a strong genetic trait of twinning." (see "Mayflower Descendants Through Five Generations" Vol. 3 , George Soule, p. 14)
