    Notes:

    Jeremiah Guild, Sr.
    Little is known of his youth, except that he lived with his mother, who, in 1754, was a widow, and the owner of eighteen acres of land in the Parish of Middlefield, in Middletown, with the use of which, and the avails of her own labor (being a tailoress), she managed to support herself and her three children, until these became of sufficient age to support themselves. . . . (Samuel's) son, Jeremiah, being strongly inclined to a sea-faring life, engaged himself as a sailor on board of a vessel making voyages to the West Indies, carrying various productions of the colony to exchange for commodities produced there. At length, having studied navigation, and become the owner and captain of a sloop, he engaged in the same business on his own account. Sometime during the Revolutionary War his vessel was taken by the British and burned, he and his brother, Samuel, who was one of his crew, being carried prisoners to Halifax in Nova Scotia. After some time he was permitted to go home on parole, having signed a paper binding himself not to bear arms against His Majesty the King of Great Britain during the war. After being released from imprisonment, he returned to Middlefield, and, having bought some land in addition to that which his mother owned, he engaged in farming, as the best business he could then pursue. Here he resided until his mother's death, which took place March 21, 1792, she being 78 years of age. in the spring of 1793, having previously purchased a farm, containing 150 acres of land, or Friend H. Frisbie, lying in the north-east corner of the town of Warren, in Milton Society, Litchfield County, Conn., he moved with his family to it, and engaged in farming, clearing land, and manufacturing charcoal for the use of the iron works, several of which operated nearby. He, pursuing " the even tenor of his ways," he passed the remainder of his life, honored and respected as an honest and upright man. He was a member of the Episcopal Church, and for several years one of its wardens. He took an active part in building a house of worship in Trinity Parish, Milton; he loved its services, and, although situated more than two miles from its place of worship, was very regular in his attendance upon them. Into the Episcopal Church all his children were baptized; by some one of its clergymen he and nearly all children were married; and the solemn rites of its burial service were performed, when, on a cold, blustery day, February 2,1822, his body was committed to its last resting place, the Rev, Isaac Jones officiating, who said, in his funeral discourse, that a pillar had been removed from the church militant." -- Genealogy of a Part of the Guild Family in the United States and Canada; Burleigh; pps 7-9.

    January 23, 1793, Jedediah Strong of Litchfield conveyed to Jeremiah Guild of Middlefield, CT, one hundred acres in Blue Swamp. The bounds defined indicate the location of the old Guild Tavern which stands at the corner of the Milton-Cornwall and Shear Shop Road (542 Shear Shop Rd). The two-story center-chimney structure was at first home for the Guild family. By 1833, it had become a tavern which served the Hartford-Poughkeepsie stagecoach line until 1877. Jeremiah's son Alban, ran the establishment until three years before it ceased to function, when he was ninety years old. Horatio Griswold (husband of Alban's granddaughter, Augusta R. Johnson) became the proprietor who had the building repaired and altered in 1876. Two fires in the twentieth century damaged much of the eighteenth-century architecture, which had to be replaced with new. The old building had reverted to a private dwelling, which it is today. -Chronicles of Milton, p161.

    Jeremiah Guild is the single Guild ancestor to which a great many Guilds and their descendents in the U.S. and Canada trace their ancestry; most of them through his son, Timothy.
