Experience Gildersleeve

From http://jliptrap.us/gen/gildersleeve.htm:

Richard Gildersleeve (c1601-1681) is said to have been born in Hempstead, Hertfordshire. [Directory of the Ancestral Heads of New England Families, Frank R Holmes, 1923] He married first a wife whose name we do not know (see below), mother of his children. He married secondly the Widow Smith, mother of John Nan Smith. He is supposed to have been born in Aldeburgh, Suffolk, England, but I have not seen proof. Both he and his wife claimed to be 76 years of age in a deposition in Hempstead 22 July 1677. He moved to Watertown, Mass, in 1635, Wethersfield, CT, in Sept 1636, Quinnipiac (New Haven CT) in 1639, Stamford, CT, in Oct 1640, and Hempstead LI in 1643.

From Colonial Families of Long Island, New York, and Connecticut, Herbert F Seversmith, 1948, v.3, p.1158

I have also seen Gildersleeve's wife listed as Experience. But I have seen no evidence for this claim.
