John Gillet of Newtown, Connecticut

Surnames: Gillet, Gillett, Gillette
I am looking for a John Gillet who was the son of Eunice (Clark) and Samuel Gillet and lived in Newtown, Connecticut. I do not know the name of John’s wife. His children were Jerusha, Abel Ferris, Anna, Polly, and David, as far as I know. I think this may be the John Gillet baptized in Newtown on 20 Nov 1748. I also believe that this is the descendancy: William Gylet, Jeremiah Gillet, Sgt. Jeremiah Gillet, John Gillet who married Sarah Tryon, Samuel Gillet who married Eunice Clark, John Gillett (who married ?), and Abel Ferris Gillette. My third great grandfather’s, Abel Ferris Gillette’s, history states the Gillet family in Newtown dates back to 1709 when John Gillet (I believe the one that married Sarah Tryon) came from Wethersfield, Connecticut and settled it is believed in the Palestine district. There are several Abel Gilletts and several John Gilletts, etc. I want to make sure I am putting this family together correctly. Any information I can find on these families from Newtown would be greatly appreciated.
