He and his brother John came to America with a colony from Plymouth, Devonshire, England in the ship "Mary and John," which arrived at Nantasket, in Boston Bay, 30 May, 1630. William had been chosen Deacon of the Church organized by this colony at Plymouth in March, 1630, under the Revs. John Maverick and John Warham. These immigrants were pioneers in the settlment of Dorchester. "Deacon" Gaylord signed the first land grants in that town. His own grant was recorded in 1633. He served as Selectman of the town for several years, and in 1635/6 and 1638 and was Representative to the General Court. In 1638 he removed with Warham's company to the new town of Windsor, Conn., and between 1639 and 1664 he represented this town at fortyone semi-annual sessions of the General Assembly. He died at Windsor 20 July,1673. The name of his wife is not known. Stiles, in his "History of Windsor," says she died 20 June, 1657.
