Gay-3645 and Gay-3502 appear to represent the same person because: A descendant of Barnabas son Barnabas Chesley Gay has a Y-DNA match with my 4h cousin Ken R Gay on FTDNA. Ken and I are a descendant of Thomas Gay (b. 1780-1790 Georgia, d. 1845 Jackson County, FL. I also have an autosomal DNA match with at least one known descendant of Barnabas Chesley Gay. Based on these DNA matches there is a fairly good chance that my Thomas Gay and Barnabas Gay were brothers.
