From First Families of America: The Abridged Compendium of American Genealogy, pages 500-502; From Annals of Bath County, by O. F. Morton: "James, Henry, John, Robert, and William Gay, whose names appear in the Pastures between 1745-1755 were brothers. Their sister, Eleanor, married William Kinkead. James died in 1776, leaving 8 children. Some of the later Gays moved to Kentucky." References
