Note:

from the Genealogical Guide to the Early Settlers of America by Henry Whittemore (excerpted and reprinted from The Spirit of '76). "John Gay, of Watertown, freeman 1635; removed to Dedham, by wife Joanna had Samuel, born 1639; Hezekiah, 1640; perhaps Elizabeth, who married Richard Martin, 1660; Nathaniel 1642; Joanna 1645; Ebenezer 1647; Abiel and Judith, twins, 1649; John 1651; Jonathon, 1653; and Hannah, 1656. He died 1688."
The New England Branch of the Gay Family
This branch of the Gay family was founded in 1630, when John Gay of Devonshire came to America with a colony of about one thousand Puritans. They were called the Massachusetts Bay COlony.
Our American historian, Gordy, says of this colony, "They settled at Boston, Charlestown, Roxbury and Watertown. Unlike the Pilgrims who came ten years earlier, they were men of wealth and culture. Some of them were relatives of the greatest men of the day in England. They were not Separatists in England as the Pilgrims had been, yet they established the Independent Congregational church in America".
A geneological dictionary of New England says of the Gay family. " The greatest ornament of the Gay family of New England was Rev. Ebenezer Gay, son of Nathanial Gay, third minister of Hingham ordained June 11, 1718, died March 18, 1787. He was the honor patriarch of the New England pulpit of that day. Eleven of the Gay family had been graduated from Harvard in 1826, five of whome were ministeres, while others of the family had been graduated from other New England colleges at that time." From this date I have written:
When young John Gay the Puritan came to Massachusetts, he went to work immediately to make himself a name.
There were one thousand Puritans Some of them men of fame They brought their flocks and herds with them And stores of every name. They settled at old Watertown Boston and Charlestown too. Unlike their friends The pilgrims, they came prepared.
