died Feb.7,1741/2 "by falling through the ice" in crossing the Monatiquot River on his way to church from his home on Middle St.
Gideon4 Thayer was son of Cornelius3 and not of Nathaniel3 as given in the Thayer Memorial and later books. He resided on Middle St. south of Union St. east side, on land that was his father in law's, except between 1732-4 when he went to the So. Precinct, on land of his father's, the 17th lot in 6th division, north of Oak St., near No. Main St., Randolph.
He joined the church at So. Precinct in 1732 as did his wife Hannah. His estate was divided in 1753 but the widow's dower was not divided until Nov.4,1776 and she presumably died shortly before that date.

Gideon, eldest son had a double portion and shares were given to daughters Abigail, Eunice, son Job, Hannah, wife of Humphrey Burrell, Mercy wife of Benjamin White. Eunice & Job had William French their father in law appointed their guardian and he was made administrator of Job Thayer at his death. John Chessman and Abigail, Mercy White and Ezra Penniman & Eunice gave receipts for their portions Nov.16,1776, also Caleb Chard & wife Hannah of Abington Jun.1,1776.
It is interesting to note that Gideon Thayer in 1740 sold 3/8 share or part of the "old Iron Works in Taunton, now in Raynham, which did belong to my honored father Cornelius Thayer late of Braintree deceased, and I do quit claim for myself and heirs 5/8 parts more of my said father's right in said iron works which my brethren and sisters have sold to the said Samuel Leonard and his father Samuel Leonard Esq. of Raynham." This apparently refers to his grand father Richard Thayer's interest which he obtained there when he sued Increase Robinson of Taunton as administrator of the estate of John Payne who had given him a faulty title to Iron Works land in Braintree (Bristol Deeds 26-417).

He was elected hogreave 1728, surveyor of highways 1732 (for So. Precinct), fenceviewer 1735,1741.
