25 Oct. preced. rememb. f. mo. brs. and sis. Nathaniel, John, Jonathan,
Samuel, Abigail, and Judith, and giv. especial. to "sis. Whiting that new

bibliograph. works will be vain. In the lists of freem. 1644 and 5 appears
the name of John Gay, but it may well be feared, that one, if not both,
is or are repetition only. Ano. fam. of Gay there was, indeed, in Dedham,

progenit. is not kn. to me. JOHN, Watertown, by w. Hannah, had Hannah,
