    “The will of Thomas Gage proved Aug. 5, 1695, reads as follows:
    ‘Thomas Gage ss. of Harwich do will to my son Benjamin Gage all my household estate be it in whatsoever and wheresoever it is, only to my wife I do give one shilling and to my son Thomas five shillings and to all my other children to each a shilling; this being my last will this 30 of june one thousand six hundred and nine five.’ From the foregoing facts it would appear that Joanna (Knight) Gage survived her husband and bore him eight children.”
