Biography

Gabriel was born in 1751 in Lunenberg, Virginia.

Possible family links

In an 1808 Kentucky marriage bond, Priscilla May, daughter of Gabriel May, is pledged to marry William Hight. The bond is between Humphrey May and William Hight, but also signed by Gabriel May.

This would mean:

This Gabriel May would have a daughter named Priscilla. Priscilla is a family name.

Priscilla and Gabriel would be related to a Humphrey May. Gabriel has a brother named Humphrey, but he also could have had a son, who would be Priscilla's brother.

The marriage took place in Nelson County, Kentucky. The Gabriel May biography on this page shows him to have died in Carroll County, Kentucky. ^[1]^[2]^[3]
