• Notes

  Copies of documents that proved the lineage of Thomas Gerard are found in the Beitzel History of the "Gerard and Cheseldine Families. John Gerard, son of Gentleman Thomas Gerard, the base born son of William Gerard and our direct line was the son of a second marriage. This John and his wife Isabel were the parents of our Dr. Thomas Gerard who was entitled Gentleman. John inherited the property at Newhall in Makersfield. He married Isabel on 16 Feb 1607/8 and an existing marriage record is in existance, however we do not know who the first wife could have been. The date of the record signing was 21 Sept 1629. This record shows that Newhall will become the first born son's property upon the death of Thomas. So it was that John inherited Newhall. John and Isabel had five sons. Dr. Thomas Gerard and a couple of his brothers came to America. Copies of documents that proved the lineage of Thomas Gerard are found in the Beitzel History of the "Gerard and Cheseldine Families.
