      1. Ancestry.com's "The Great Migration Begins, Sketches, Preserved Puritan" has the following listing of children for the emigrant Jonathan Gillett. [See his notes for full quotation from which this small portion is taken.]:

Devon, Mary Dolbere, who was b. 7 Jun 1607, and d. 5 Jan 1685, dau. of Rawkey and Mary (Mitchell) Dolbere. Mary Dolbere is thought to have been a relative of Rev. Warham. (Jacobus, Donald Lines: 'The American Genealogist,' v. XV, p. 209. New Haven, Conn., 1938-39.)
      In a bible belonging to the Gillett family is the following: 'My Grandfather Gille(tt) came into new englan the secon time in June in the yeare 1634 and Jonathan his sonne was born about half a years aftur he cam to land.'
      Jonathan Gillett was made a freeman in 1635, moved to Windsor in 1636, and died there 23 Aug 1677. Children:

      "Jeremiah Gillett born 12 Feb. 1647/8 in Windsor, baptized 20 Feb. 1647/8, married DEBORAH BARTLETT 15 Oct. 1685 in Windsor, died 1 Mar. 1692/3 in Windsor. Deborah was born 3 Apr. 1666 in Windsor, died there 29 Sept. 1753. She was a daughter of Benjamin & Deborah (Barnard) Bartlett. Deborah married (2) Samuel Adams of Windsor 23 Apr. 1694. Jeremiah inherited from his father the remainder of his father's land without the west bounds of Windsor which had not been willed to Jonathan, Cornelius and John. In 1680 Jeremiah had the place in Windsor previously occupied by his uncle Nathan Gillett who had removed to Simsbury in 1670. Jeremiah's will was dated 17 Dec. 1692 but was not proved. Jeremiah and Deborah had 11 children all born in Windsor."

      7. Mentioned in the will of Jeremiah Gillett per "A Digest of the Early Connecticut Probate Records," Vol. I, by Charles Wm. Manwaring, P. 452: "Page 159. (Will on File). Gillett, Jeremiah, Windsor. Invt. £56-12-00. Taken 19 March, 1692-3, by Job Drake Jr., James Enno and Joseph Phelps Jr. Will dated 17 December, 1692.
      I Jeremiah Gillett of Windsor doe make this my last Will & Testament: I give to my wife all my whole Estate for her Use & Improvement during the time of her natural life, as also my house & Homested, the Land being 3 acres more or less, bounding East on Josiah Gillet, north the Highway, West Jonathan Gillett, South against the Mill Brooke. I give my Marsh Land at Simsbury (the sd. Land given me by his last Will) I give to my wife as her proper Right, to sell or dispose of to whom she will. I give my daughter Deborah, at the day of her marriage, my Woodland, which is 10 acres more or less. I give my Homested, that Land being 5 acres more or less, to my daughter Deborah after her Mother's Decease. My Will is my wife shall give my daughter, after her marriage, 20 shillings per year, to be paid in Apples or Syder, or in Both. I constitute my wife to be sole Executrix. Witness: John Fyler, Benjamin Bartlett. [Signed:] Jeremiah Gillett. Ls.
      Court Record, Page 56 - 12 April, 1693: A Will was exhibited in Court and was not allowed. Some Testimony was offered by Timothy Phelps sen., age 54 years, Joseph Loomis, age 41 years, son of John Loomis, Peter Brown, age 25 years, & Joseph Skiner. Order to Dist. the Estate to the Widow Deborah and the daughter. Adms. was granted to James Eno & Deborah the Relict.
      Page 62 - 7 September, 1693: It appears the daughter had died. This Court now Order her part of Jeremiah Gillett's Estate to be divided among the uncles and aunts, her father's brothers and sisters. Lt. Return Strong and Mr. John Porter appointed Distributors.
      Page 36 - (Vol. VI) 13 April, 1698: Whereas, there have been differences between Jonathan Gillett of Windsor in behalf of himself and his brothers & sisters on the one part, and Samuel Adams of the same Windsor on behalf of his wife Deborah, as she was Adms. to the Estate of Jeremiah Gillett, her late Husband, on the other part, respecting the division of the estate of the sd. Jeremiah Gillett, which was ordered by the Court to him sd. Jonathan Gillett, and set out to him and them, his brothers and sisters, by Lt. Returne Strong and Mr. John Porter, by the Order of sd. Court, as by the Records of the Court may fully appear. And that the sd. Difference may be put to an End and fully issued, they the sd. Gillett and the sd. Adams have mutually and full agreed, and do by these presents fully and absolutely agree in manner and form following: ( - - ) And for Confirmation hereof, and every part of this Agreement, we have hereunto set our Hands this 30th day of April, 1695. Witness: Daniel Clarke sen., Joseph Mygatt.
      [Signed:] Jonathan Gillett, Peter Brown, Cornelius Gillett, Samuel X Adams, DEBORAH X Adams."
      [From this we ascertain that Jeremiah's wife was Deborah who later married Samuel Adams. Brothers include Jonathan, Cornelius; and a probable nephew: Peter Brown (probably a nephew at age 25 in 1693). We can also infer a probable relationship with next door neighbor Josiah Gillett. Also confirms ages of Timothy Phelps, Sr. at 54 in 1693 and Joseph Loomis (son of John) as 41 in 1693.]

      MARRIAGE:
      1. Manuscript from the Windsor CT. Historical Society Library of Jay Mack Holbrook entitled "Conn. Colonists - Windsor 1635-1703" has the following listings for Gillets. I am not sure what the references refer to, but they appear to be a compilation of mentioned names in original sources. I have rearranged the entries to be chronological rather than alphabetical as presented by the book compiler.
      Gilet, Jeremy; marriage to Debora Bartlet, 15 Oct 1685; WEL898:52.
      Gilet, Jeremiah; marriage to Deborah Bartlet, 15 Oct 1685; WIN638:57.
      Gillet, Deborah; marriage to Samuel Addams, 23 Apr 1694; WIN638:53 [apparently widow of Jeremiah Gillet remarrying after Jeremiah's death 1 Mar 1692/1693].
