"There is little on record about schools in the first few years. Higher education was important chiefly as preparation for the ministry. Ministers, usually the best-educated men in a colonial community, served as teachers. Jasper Gunn, credited with being the first Milford school teacher, in 1642 conducted a school at his house, near the 'common house' at the head of the harbor; he was assisted for a time by the Reverend John Sherman."

"From 1636 to 1652 there appears to have been but one other regularly authorized practitioner of medicine in the colony. This was Dr. Jasper Gunn, who came over to this country in 1635, at the age of twenty-nine. In may, 1636, he was made a freeman of Massachusetts, and settled in Roxbury. He removed to Milford, and afterward, about 1646, to Hartford. The inventory of Giles Whiting, April, 1656, mentions his indebtedness "to Jasper Gunn for physic and visits L2.10." In May, 1657, the General Court of Connecticut freed him from "training, watching, and warding during his practic of Physic." Soon after this he returned to Milford, where he died in 1670. In the Trinity College Library is a curious old Almanac published in London in 1652, by Sir George Wharton, which belonged to Dr. Jasper Gunn. It is interleaved, and was used by him as an account-book, and on it pages are charges for medical services and drugs, against many of the prominent citizens of Hartford of that day.
