Steven,
Here's some further information gathered over the years from a variety of lovely people who's names got lost in a data file transfer several years ago (sorry to everyone if I offend):
WIlliam Gerrish:
Called "Captain". He first settled in Newbury, MA where he married Joanna. They had a total of 10 children, (Libby, 258). After Joanna's death he moved to Boston and there married Ann, (Old Kittery, 443). He later moved to Salem, MA where he died. Libby also states that he was a selectman in Hampton, NH in 1663 and their Rep in 1663-64.(Newbury VRs to the end of the Year 1849, II:19)
