↑ Source:Gay, Frederick Lewis. John Gay of Dedham, Massachusetts and Some of His Descendants, p. 3, gives the death date as 26 Feb 1660. This appears to be an error reading or interpreting the month number given in the records. Further, there is no double-dating, indicating no significant analysis of the date was done.
