    "John2 Gager … married Elizabeth Gore, … doubtless daughter of Samuel Gore, of London, England. …

    The identity of John Gager's wife has been something of a puzzle. The younger John Winthrop in 1667 mentioned Hannah Gifford as 'sister to John Gagers wife Norwich,' and he also mentioned, about 1664, Sarah Gager, aged 13, daughter of John, Norwich [Medical Journal, pp. 770, 445]. Hannah Gifford was the first wife of Stephen Gifford (born about 1641, died 27 Nov. 1724, aged 83) whose marriage is recorded at Norwich, May 1667, to Hannah Gore (she died 24 Jan. 1670/1). The name was incorrectly rendered Gove by Savage.

    Study of New England Gore families failed to reveal the parentage of the sisters Elizabeth (born probably about 1627) and Hannah (born probably after 1640). But on 19 May 1643, Mary Gore, daughter of Samuel Gore, 'Citizen and Grocer of London deceased,' apprenticed herself to John Winthrop, Jr., and the following day Elizabeth Gore signed an agreement with him, in effect making him her guardian. It can hardly be doubted that Elizabeth was Mary's sister. Presumably Hannah, who was much younger, came to New England later. Both Elizabeth and Hannah named a son Samuel, which accords with the conclusion that they were sisters of Mary and daughters of Samuel Gore of London. [Winthrop Papers, 4-378, 379.]"
