His second wife's name was Elizabeth, and it is quite certain that she was the widow of John Skillin, since Elihu Gunnison, Jr., calls her son, Josiah Skillin, his brother. York Deeds, VII. 231 and IX. 115. Elihu Gunnison lived in Sheepscot, Falmouth and Kittery. Was a shipwright. Served as selectman, deputy to General Court, and justice of the peace; died before 9 April 1719. [ref 33:478,812] In 1697 Elihu Gunnison sold to his brother-in-law, John Ingersoll, a portion of his land "near unto the Saw-Mill at goose Creek," "bounded by Kittery road on the North-west and on the northerly side by the lands of the sd Ingersoll;" also a piece of land by the water side. This Ingersoll was a son of George Ingersoll of Falmouth and had a grant of land in Kittery in 1671. [ref 33:64] George Frink, probably brother to John, bought thirty-five acres of Elihu Gunnison, 9 May 1702. This was a little further north and bordered on land which Gunnison had sold to John Ingersoll. [ref 33:61] On Tucker's Creek was a saw-mill owned by Elihu Gunnison, Joseph Wilson, Henry Barter and Andrew Haley. It is mentioned in a deed in 1708 and had then been long used. [ref 33:61] William Rogers deeded his half [of Gunnison's Neck] to Elihu Gunnison 6 May 1675. The whole neck was confirmed unto Gunnison at a legal meeting of the inhabitants of the town, 10 May 1703. In a deed he says that the land had been possessed and improved by his father, Hugh Gunnison. The neck contained about sixty acres. Elihu Gunnison, Jr., received it from his father and lived near to the ferry landing, perhaps twenty rods below the present bridge. [ref 33:77] The point of land jutting in a southerly direction, at the mouth of Spruce Creek and of Crooked Lane, was sold, 29 May 1709, by Elihu Gunnison, Jr., to his brother-in-law, Josiah Skillin. It included an acre and a half and was bounded on the northwest by land of Samuel Pray, "on the north by a country road," -- -- -- "and on all other parts with ye river Vulgarly Called Crooked lane, running out with a long point into ye sd river." Skillin sold it, 4 June 1710, to Jonathan Dam with "Saw pitt & Sellers, with ye ground ways for Shipbuildings g." [ref 33:77] Elihu Gunnison was appointed to keep a ferry over Spruce Creek in 1699, the earliest ferry I have found any record of at this point. A deed dated 3 Aug. 1699, also mentions "the present high way or road that goes to ye point or to ye sd Elihu Gunnisons house or ferry." [ref 33:77] Kittery properties of Mr. Elih Gunnison was rated estimated yield of �10 in 1712.
