Re: Hearn P. Gay in Alabama

AlysonCollins328 — 2012-05-12 01:55:27Z

Hearn Jr died in 1991 (I remember getting the call my freshman year of college). Hearn was the older brother to my step father Arthur. The middle child to Hearn and Christine (we called her Grandmother). Hearn died after being diagnosed with lung cancer. Hearn was married to Jo Ann at the time. He was a very nice man and suffered greatly at the end of his death. Tommy was born after the death of his father and was raised by his step father. He died before I was born in 1973. Christine never remarried after his death. She lived in Dothan at Baptist Village and then moved to Tallahassee to live closer to her two remaining sons. She is buried in Dothan, AL.

I am doing my family tree I got all the way back to Nancy Gay. I don't know her birthday or death date or who her parent's were. I do know that she married Matt Powell and they had 8 children; Mattie, Ola, Maddie, J.B., Betty, R. Quntin, George Norman, and Annie Lee. They are from Lumber City, Ga.

Mrs. Fisher Gay, Rockland, Maine (1875)

Cindy_Beane — 2012-04-23 16:37:23Z

I have no connection to this family, but found this while doing other research. This appeared in the Aug. 10, 1875 issue of the Rockland (Maine) Courier Gazette in the Men and Women column:

“Mrs. Fisher Gay, living on North Main Street, while going from the house to the barn, Sunday, fell and broke one of her (legs).”

Re: James/Thomas/William Gay..Campbells

DonnaCrosby76 — 2012-04-21 19:53:47Z

Hi Lynn, yes 'frustrating' is one of the first words that can be used with the Campbell/Gay line coming from Calfpasture VA! I am both a Campbell and a Gay but only a Time Machine could help me find out exactly who they all were and how on earth they were all related!

I descend from William Campbell and Sarah Gay...everyone on the net has Sarah Gay being born 27 years BEFORE her suggested Mother, Margaret Lockridge, the wife of Robert Gay.

I do see in "The Chronicles" v. III, pg 297 where it appears that William Campbell and wife Sarah Gay gave to Thomas Gillham 200 acres on the Calfpasture in 1751.

Now, Thomas Gillham, Sr. married Margaret Campbell the daughter of William Campbell and Sarah Gay.

This land deed would suggest therefore that Robert Gay and wife Margaret (Lockridge) were Sarah Gay-Campbell's parents and the grandparents then of Margaret Campbell-Gillham. BUT if so, then the dates all over the net, as you suggest, have been 'adjusted' to fit the necessary massaging to make a group of children FIT. frustrating indeed!

Re: James/Thomas/William Gay

rodlynn — 2012-04-17 02:29:53Z

Thank you Lee. I had almost given up to the sorting idea. I thought sorting the Kirkhams and Campbells was bad! To top all that I have discovered the Gay family cemetery here...I know they are related to Mary, my 3rd great grandmother. They came here with 2 of her sons and 2 grandsons in 1836.

THANK YOU again for your insight.

Re: James/Thomas/William Gay

LeeGay51 — 2012-04-03 01:52:05Z

Hi Lynn,

I am distantly related to this line. Some of the confusion is between the Gay families of the Shenandoah valley area (the Calfpasture Gays, many of whom migrated early to Kentucky) and the descendants of William Gay and Elizabeth Bolling (none of whom - to the best of my knowledge - migrated to Kentucky). All evidence points to these being two separate and unrelated family groups. That includes genealogical evidence (the descendants of William Gay and Elizabeth Bolling are well-documented) and DNA evidence as provided by descendants of both lines.

However, the Calfpasture Gays were a large family group and although they all appear to be related to some extent, it's a bit challenging to sort them all out as they shared so many names. I've been researching them for a number of years and have made some progress but for your line I only show back to James Gay and Jane Warwick as parents of John Gay. In my opinion, James (b. abt. 1710 d. 1779) was the likely immigrant and probably born in Ulster near Londonderry, so you would have to find him records there to get back much further. It's possible that his father was William Gay who died in the Calfpasture in 1755, but it seems unlikely. I would be interested to know if you find more about him though. Please feel free to contact me at leegay @ comcast.net

Re: Louisiana Gay family from France

properwagner — 2012-04-01 00:37:51Z

Hi Charla,

Is that Rebecca Hunt Irion, b. 18 Feb 1833? I am descended from her sister, Mary Ann Irion, b. 23 Feb 1834. They were children of Nancy Gay Irion Cartwright and William Hunt Irion. Mary Ann m. William C. Hooker, and their daughter Maud m. Judson Berry Dacus, and their daughter Lizzie Erla Dacus m. William C. Whitehead and their daughter Anita married George H. Roper and their son William m. Sally Cockrell and I am their eldest daughter. I think you have also corresponded with my brother Bill.

Btw, I just found in the Texas muster rolls that William Irion joined the Navy as Ship's Steward aboard S. S. Zavala in 3 July 1840. I suspect that this accounts for his disappearance from the family. He was declared dead in 1841 and reappeared later but his wife had remarried. The muster rolls begin at 1838. Perhaps he went AWOL from the San Jacinto battle and jumped a ship at LaPorte in 1836 and returned from a voyage to enlist on the Zavala in 1840. See the record at:

rodlynn — 2012-04-01 00:12:45Z

Thank you very much I really do appreciate any help. I just get so frustrated. The Illinois state archives are on line and free to everyone. Alot of people married and died in this state passing through to the west. So when I discovered some of the Gay family married here and who they were following their trail was pretty simple. It is frustrating to see the dates of our ancestors juggled to fit. My mothers family has been a nightmare anyway. I started the Kirkham side when I was 15 and am 54 now. I spent alot of money and time just to get frustrated. lol I am sure we all have. At one point I have told my mother they are all from Mars. What I have found is John Gays father is James but have found that a William had a son James as well as a brother, both near the same age. I will watch for you line as I do more research on mine. Again, Thank you.

I'm looking for information on the parents of Gilbert M. Gay who married Minerva Lou Henshaw. They were married in 1897 in Nevada County, Arkansas.

The M in could be Matthew or Madison. I have seen both. Any information will be appreciated.

Right now, I'm thinking Francis Marion Gay and Mary Abbie Allen are his parents, but lack definite proof. ANY information will be helpful.

James/Thomas/William Gay

rodlynn — 2012-03-24 17:02:17Z

My question is who sorted these? Thomas landed in Virginia 1622, James arrived Virginia 1623, 1st William settled in Virginia 1630 and 2nd William, aged 20, arrived in 1635. I have found William Gay Sr and William Gay Jr. Half of these trees have the father dead 2 years before the son was born.

One of these many William Gays from Virginia was married to Elizabeth Bolling, Elizabeth Adams, Frances Trent, and Margaret Walkup. I am having some major problems with the merging of these as the William Gay who married Margaret Walkup in 1757 could NOT have given birth to every Gay in Kentucky and Virginia.

I can understand some adjusting to birth years within 1-3 yrs but marriage records from the state can't be adjusted. Some of the records are more than 30 years adjusted. The average generation turn over during colonial times was 20-30 yrs, ergo 3-4 generations every 100 years. Most of the trees I have found here are jumping generations and adjusting dates to make them fit. Men in colonial times rarely lived past 50. It was not uncommon for a man to have married several times, wives were killed by indians and child birth.

We all copy from each other, it doesn't help when one person starts "adjusting" hoping to get a fact. The only fact in my line of the Gay family is: Henry Kirkham married Mary Gay. She was the daughter of John Gay. This is the fact written on the marriage Bond from Kentucky. I know from records that John was married to Sarah Lockridge.

Again...remembering how people named their children...I know John is the son of James, this fact from Kentucky historical records. My problem is this, the record states that James was the son of James not of William. Was James Sr the son of William? Does anyone have ACTUAL dates?

Thank you for any help, Lynn

Alan,
Josiah Gay and Sarah (Sally) Beddingfield are my Great-great-great maternal grandparents and the parents of Josiah Gay Jr.1826 and Henry Gay,1830. Both brothers served in Company H, 14th Regiment, Georgia Infantry, Army of Northern Virginia, Blackshear Guards, Laurens Co., Ga.

I am still researching the ancestors of Josiah Gay and Sarah Beddingfield (Bedingfield) but I have found no clear Gay surname ancestry prior to 1790.
At one time I thought that the line went to John Rolf and Pochantas of Jamestown Virginia. So far there are too many conflicting dates and a number of Henry and William Gay's.

If you have any further information about the Gays or the Beddingfields please let me know.

I have researched my Bracewell ancestry back to medieval England. My original Colonial American ancestor was Reverand Robert Bracewell of London, England and Isle of Wight, Virginia.

William W Gay born 1778 was my gr-gr-gr-grandfather. I have been trying to find a connection and source documents to a father and mother and siblings for many years. Speculation from a genealogist at the New England Ancestors is that his father was Elisha Gay Jr. born in Norwich Connecticut b 1747; married to Amy Brown in Norwich 7 Sep 1760 - by Rev. Nathaniel Eells. The 1810 Herkimer New York census shows Elisha Gay living next door to Elizabeth Bonesteel. Elizabeth Bonesteel was the mother of Sarah Bonesteel the wife of William W. Gay.

I'm trying to find out who the parents were to Julius C. Gay.
I know Julius was born 1834 in New York (per the census). He was married to Marie/Maria and they had at least three children: Minnie E, Frank and Fred. They wound up living in Indiana and died their in 1902.
According to the 1880 & 1900 census' states his parents were born in either Connecticut or Rhode Island.
I did find a 1850 New York census with a Julious Gay, age 15, listed as living with Abel (age 67) and Mary (age 60), Julia A and Miron Gay and Abel was born in Connecticut??

My line goes back to Arthur Gay, born April 26, 1794 in either SC (VA or NC). Had a brother, John, born about 1795 who went to AL before 1828. At about the same time, Arthur moved to Rankin (formerly Hinds) Co., MS.

Have not been able to link them to their parents.

No. People have been posting information and I've just been doing QUICK random searches based on that information at Ancestry. Most of the people I've been posting about aren't my branch.
