Cumberland County Records (several downloads in this)
Mary Glynn,   We are sending you these PDF files on Martin Baker Gay's Father, Charles Gay Jr "the Lame man" (1776 -1842) because we thought it would be best to let you review them first rather than post them directly on your new Martin Baker Gay Family website.    As you can see most of this information was obtained from Cumberland County historian R.N. Smith, who led me to Edythe Rucker Whitley, a respected Genealogist in Nashville, TN.   Someone had hired Mrs. Whitley to research Charles Gay of Cumberland County, KY to verify that he descended from Thomas Gay of Nansemond County, VA.   Unfortunately, Mrs. Whitley was never able to verify this and in the process also confused our Charles Gay Jr, the father of Martin Baker Gay, with another Charles S. Gay that had lived in Richmond, but had married Margret Lewis Erskine and moved to Augusta County, VA.   Mrs. Whitley died in 1989 and her life long collection of research papers were obtained by the Williamson Library in Franklin, TN.  https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Rucker-867   In mid May we went to the Williamson Library to look through the Whitley papers on the Gay Family, contained in Boxes 129 and 130, but were unable to confirm who had hired Mrs. Whitley to research the Charles Gay family, but we do have a good idea that it was probably the Peter Meersman family of Nashville, whose wife donated the Key-Overton-Gay letters to the Tennessee State Library and Archives.    Apparently Martha Ann Washington Gay/Overton/Key(1815-1886), Sister to Martin Baker Gay, collected the Key-Overton-Gay letters over her lifetime and then passed them on to her Daughter Tennessee Woodson Key Black (1857-1928), who then passed them on to her daughter La Lena Black Parkes (1882-????), who passed them on to her daughter, La Una Gay Black Parkes Meersman/Nielson (1909-1994), who donated them to the Tennessee State Library.   While in TN, we also went back to the Cumberland Co, KY area to photograph parts of the West Fork of Crocus Creek, where the Charles Gay family lived on 70 acres leased from  James Vaughn as described in the attached 24 June 1833 document recording listed.   Since we will be in Oregon from July 18 - July 25,  2018 we were hoping we might be able to meet with you some time during that week and discuss the Gay family prior to 1851.   Please look over the attached files, and let us know if any additional information is needed.   Best regards   Don & Shirley Gay

Will of William Patterson
Mary Glynn,

Please find attached a copy of the Will of William Patterson, that I have also transferred into the DropBox account, but unclear how this then gets placed into your Docs and More Files.

Since this is my first attempt to transfer of a Document into the Martin Baker Gay Lineage website, I'm not sure of the process.

As you know William Patterson was the first husband of Delilah Ann Gay the oldest Sister of Martin Baker Gay and the first born of Charles Gay Jr.

Delilah was responsible for many of the Key-Overton-Gay letters between the various other Charles Gay family members.

Best regards,

Don & Shirley Gay

William Gay property
"Mary Glynn,

Here’s some additional information about the William Gay property in Henrico, VA.

While investigating the assortment of people mentioned in the Pvt. William H Gay Obituary, I also found the attached Smith’s 1853 Map of Henrico County, VA, which is a detailed map showing all of the various family farms in Henrico County in 1853. The second 1862 map, based on the Smith's 1853 map, best shows the William Gay family farm on New Market Road in Henrico County, VA.

Here’s the links to the Henrico maps:

https://www.loc.gov/item/2006626062/ <- 1862 map based on Smith’s 1853 map.

Pleas let us know if there's a problem finding the map.

Best regards,

Mary Glynn,   Back in May 2017 we sent information about the location of the Martin Baker Gay 1850 house and cabinet shop on the West side of the old downtown Springfield Town Square.   Since we found the Greene County MO property deed transfer records to be so extensive, we then decided to try and locate exactly where the Martin Baker Gay family farm house was located on the original 400 acre property in the Murray portion of Cass Township, Greene County, MO.   As you may recall, Martin Baker Gay sold the entire 400-acre farm property on March 21, 1851 for $820 to D.D. Berry as recorded in the attached document found on Book/Page E295 of the Greene County records.   Then we found where D.D. Berry sold the entire 400-acre farm property on Jan 22, 1852 for $800 to Gibson Elmore Hardin (1799-1857) as recorded in the attached document found on Book/Page E414 and E415 of the Greene County records.   Since Gibson Elmore Hardin was a 52 year-old farmer, who had a wife and five grown male children, and several slaves, it was most likely the Hardin family initially moved into the old Martin Baker Gay farm house.   Unfortunately, Gibson Elmore Hardin died in testate on Nov 15, 1857 and the entire 400-acre farm property was left to his wife Margaret Alvira Cobb Hardin as recorded in the attached document found on Book/Page I182, I183 and I184 of the Greene County records.   During the Civil War, all five Hardin sons joined CSA, and because the Hardin family owned slaves, the family abandoned the farm in Missouri and went to live with relatives in Illinois.   Coincidently shortly before Martin Baker Gay died, his old 400-acre MO farm property was still intact as late as Feb 14, 1867, when Margaret Cobb Hardin sold the entire property to the widow of her youngest son David Gibson Hardin for $275 as recorded in the attached document found on Book/Page P233 of the Greene County records. However, there's no mention of any buildings being on the property, and it would seem logical the original Martin Baker Gay family home and any barns were probably destroyed during the Civil War.    Unfortunately David Gibson Hardin died in 1864 during the Civil War, after which his wife Elizabeth Hardin married George Washington Arnold, and began selling off portions of the old Martin Baker Gay farm, which is why the attached 1876 map of Murray Township shows G.W. Arnold family has 160 acres, Oscar Farmer family has 120 acres, George Sloan family has 80 acres and Dennis Kime family has 40 acres, which accounts for all of the original 400-acre tract.   After the Civil War, one Hardin son John Thomas Hardin remained in Illinois and died there, but his son Gipson Elmore “Gip” Hardin returned to Greene County, MO and was given the 40 acres parcel in Section 27 of the old Martin Baker Gay farm in payment for the care of his Aunt Elizabeth Hardin Arnold until she died. The attached picture shows the 1903 house built on that 40 acre property that was part of the original Martin Baker Gay farm property. Unfortunately, this house was torn down in late 2000.   Looking on the City of Willard Missouri website:http://www.cityofwillard.org/ The first families to settle in what is now known as Willard Missouri were Oscar Farmer (1865), Dennis Kime and his wife (1854) and George and Elizabeth Sloan (1860) whose original homes are still in use today. However, what is ironic is that all three of these first families of Willard homes were built on portions of the old Martin Baker Gay farm property, as shown on the attached 1876 map of Murray Township.   All three original settlers homes can also be viewed on Google Maps by entering these following street addresses: Oscar Farmer house at 210 W. Willey St. Willard, MO. George Sloan house at 102 E Kime St. Willard, MO. Dennis Kime house at 306 E Kime St. Willard, MO.   While researching the Hardin family of Greene County, MO, we happened to find on the Find a Grave website, a woman named Ginny Vocelli: gvocelli@comcast.net who is best described as the Mary Glynn of the Hardin family history. Like the Gay’s, this Hardin family was also from Henrico County, VA.    In one of her first emails she mentioned a book “Opening the Ozarks” written by Marsha Hoffman Rising, who had spent sixteen years of her life writing about the first thousand families that settled in the Ozarks between 1835-1839, which included the Martin Baker Gay family, please see attached sheets.   Surprisingly she wrote about Martin Baker Gay being financially ruined by she believed William Terrell, and she mentions Mary Jenkins living with Evan and Nancy B. Jenkins Stewart family in adjoining Polk County.   The William Terrell family had their farm right across W. Willey St on the North side from the Martin Baker Gay farm. The Hardin family also bought the William Terrell family farm.   Just thought you might be interested.   Best regards,   Don & Shirley Gay
