William Gifford was born circa 1654 in Sandwich, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.1 He was the son of William Gifford.
William and his family departed from Sandwich circa 1661.1
William married an unknown person circa 1675 [See research note below]. William settled in at Falmouth, Barnstable Co., MA, New England, before 6 October 1676 [birth of first child].1
On, 6 March 1676/77 William Gifford and his wife appeared before the court in Plymouth, Plymouth Co., MA, New England,for "committing the sin of fornication before marriage or contract. Fined five pounds to the use of the Colony." This may indicate that William and his wife were both Quakers, as this was the usual procedure with Quakers and others who failed to marry as the authorities reguired.1,2
William Gifford was appointed on 5 June 1677 at Sandwich, Barnstable Co., MA, New England, as surveyor of highways along with Peter Gaunt.3
In 1678, William Gifford and William Gifford, his father, were the owners of land located on Hog Island in Falmouth, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.1
On 20 February 1678, William Gifford and his cousins, Samuel and Josiah Gifford, were among "the people called Quakers" who petitioned the court for their proportionate share of the Sandwich ministerial lands at Falmouth, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.
Circa 1685, William Gifford and William Gifford, his father, were founders of the Friend's Meeting in West Falmouth, Barnstable Co., MA, New England.1
Research Note: NEHGR 128:255 states: "He [William Gifford] married first, about 1675, a woman who's first name may have been Hannah (see below), who died after 17 Dec 1701, the date of her daughter Temperance's birth , and before 21 June 1711. There appears to be an error in the Falmouth records here. The name of the mother of the first ten children does not appear in the record book, but the Town Hall record book shows: "Temprince gifferd, the dafter of William Gifferd and Leady His Wife was born the 17 day of desember & in the year 1701". The next entry reads: "Amey gifferd the dafter of William Gifferd and Leady His wife was born the 5 day of august in the year 1713". A verbatim copy of these entries was published in The Genealogical Advertiser, 4:21 (1901), under "Falmouth, Mass., Records". However, we checked them against the entries in the town hall of Falmouth and they agree in all detail. There are two possibilities here: (1) that William Gifford had a second wife named Lydia as many have assumed; or (2) that the entries were entered into the existing book long after the births occured and that the clerk was careless in transcribing from an earlier record as to the mother of the child Temperance. The identical errors in spelling and grammar would suggest this to be the true explanation. We find no mention of a Lydia Gifford before William's marriage to Lydia Hatch in 1711, either in town or Quaker records. The mother of Amy and the youngest five of his children was Lydia Hatch."
NEHGR 128:256 states: "The marriage of his son, Gershom Gifford, took place "at the house of Willliam Gifford". On this, and later occasions, evidently the Friends met in his home. The certificate, dated 11:6 mo.: 1704, was signed by Mary Bowerman, mother of the bride, directly below the names Gershom Gifford and Deborah Gifford (the bride and groom). The second name was that of Hannah Gifford. Although of all women's names at that period Hannah was one of the most common, the curious point is is that in the Gifford family in that year there was no other Hannah, neither among females born to the name or those who had married Giffords. We do not find the name on other certificates, nor any supporting evidence. But we suggest as a decided possibility that, in view of the position of the signature - which often was used by the mother of the groom - and the absence of another Gifford woman of the name, that we may have here the given name of William2 Gifford's first wife."
William married second, Lydia Hatch, age 26, daughter of Joseph Hatch and Amy Allen, on 21 June 1711 at Falmouth, Barnstable Co., MA, New England, officiated by William Bassett , Justice of Peace.1,4 He left a will dated 25 February 1737.1
