• Died unmarried.
• Among the Bernon Papers, there is an interesting letter writtn by young Gabriel, in Boston, December 29, 1696 to his father, then in Englandd. The sentiment, the style and the penmanship together represent a youth of rare intelligenae and culture. He is mentioned by a corresponent of Bernon, in 1699, in these terms:--”Je vous suis bien obligè de l’ adresse que vous me donnaste pour Mr. vostre fils; il est digne d’un tel père. Ses manières obligeantes ne dèrogent en rien des vostres.”
