Family:Henry Gay and Martha Baxter (1)

Henry Gay migrated to Augusta County, Virginia but is not a brother of the five Gay brothers that also settled in Augusta County. It is highly suggested that the following source be consulted before any changes are made to this family, as well as the second source, the FamilyTreeMaker site of William L. Gay. Both appear to be thoroughly researched and documented.
