Thomas and Nathaniel Gubtail (and some say two more brothers whose names are lost) arrived in Portsmouth, NH. Some say they came from Wales; Rev. Sinnett's genealogy says they came from England; some family crests show a thistle, denoting Scotland. Even the NZ branch, which descended from a Simon Guptill does not know for sure if their branch originated from the US or Canada. The name Gubtail has not been located in modern Great Britain so far. An early census of Grand Manan Island, NB, describes all Guptills as being English in origin. Take your pick.
