William Gaylard was baptized May 11, 1582 at Pitminster[1] (some indexes say May 10),[2] the son of John Gaylord and Jane Wallin.
This William Gaylard should not be confused with his cousin William Gaylard, son of Christopher Gaylard, baptized June 20, 1582 at Pitminster.
He should also not be confused with the Deacon William Gaylord of Windsor, Connecticut. There is no evidence at this time that they are the same individual, just the coincidence that they were born about the same time, and likely in the same county.
There is a index claiming that William Gaylard was baptized at Pilton May 11, 1582. This index is wrong. There is no reference to William's baptism at Pilton on that date in the original parish record. There is however a reference for William's baptism on that date in Pitminster, as cited on this profile.
