Biography
Mary was born about 1690 in Wrentham, Norfolk, Massachusetts Bay. Her birth year is inferred from her reported age of 55 on the date of her death, January 30, 1744-5, per her death record.
Mary may have been the daughter of Dr. Ebenezer and Lydia or Ledia (Hayden) Nutting as represented in several Ancestry family trees. But more research is needed for verification.
What is known is that Mary married Eleazer Gay in Wrentham about the year 1712. They continued to reside in Wrentham and raise their family including eight children including Mary, b. 1713; Eleazer, b. 1715; Abigail, b. 1716; Job, b. 1717; Esther, b. 1719; Jonah, b. 1721; Lydia, b. 1723; and Seth, b. 1725.
