I do not believe George Gaines' mother was Martha Taylor (1670-1726. She never married Bernard Gaines until 1693, and Martha would have been only about 14 when George was born in 1684. I believe Bernard Gaines was previously married, and his first wife died before 1693. I have a name, Elizabeth Jameson (1656-1693), but I have not found any documentation of her or their marriage other than she is listed on several trees on Ancestry.com and Geneanet.com.
