Research Notes:
first assessed for support of the ministry in 1657, apparently about the time he became of age [Ref: WheelockDE WHEELOCK pB6]

in 1676, when King Philip's war broke out and the Indians made a raid on Medfield, Gershom's house was burned, but he later built another on the same spot. None of the family was killed as they all escaped to the house of his father, which was heavily barricaded and withstood the seige. [Ref: WheelockDE WHEELOCK pB6]

no will or record of the settlement of his estate has been found [Ref: WheelockDE WHEELOCK pB6]
