Research Notes
- This Joshua Gay was NOT the same man as the Joshua Gay who married Mary Ann Byrd. That Joshua Gay lived in Early county, Georgia and was still living after this Joshua Gay had died. Some ancestry.com users linked this Joshua to both spouses, Sallie and Mary. But the children for both men overlap with dates so this does not make sense.[1]
