Biography

According to Vital Records of Roxbury, Massachusetts, Nathanael Gary and Anne Rice were married in Roxbury on 12 November 1685.[1] Torrey's New England Marriages to 1699 has the marriage of Nathaniel Gary (born 1663) to Ann Rice (born 1661) in Roxbury/Woodstock, Connecticut, on 12 November 1685.[2] Torrey and his cited sources thus identify Anne as Anna, the daughter of Deacon Edward Rice and Anne (Bent) Rice who was born in Sudbury, Massachusetts, on 19 November 1661. That Anna Rice is the only girl named Ann/Anna/Anne Rice born in Massachusetts in the right time period to have married in 1685. However, she is also thought to be the Anna Rice who married Thomas ____ (inferred to be Thomas Rice) in Marlborough, Massachusetts, in 1681. Because Marlborough was formed from part of Sudbury, it is likely that the Anna Rice who was born in Sudbury is the same girl who later married in Marlborough. Accordingly, the origins of the Anne Rice who married Nathanael Gary are undetermined.

Nathaniel Gary and wife Anne were parents of Nathaniel, Hannah, Sarah, Ann, Joshua, Elisha, Mehitable, Mary, Rachel, Elizabeth, Jemima, Naomi, Rebecca, and Abigail.

Anne died before about 1712, when Nathaniel Gary was remarried to Mary Fairbanks in Ashford, Connecticut.

In the vital records of Woodstock at https://archive.org/stream/vitalrecordsofwo00wood#page/10/mode/1up (bottom of page) there is a daughter Elizabeth born in 1703 and no accompanying record for an Elisha born then.

ADDED: The same FamilySearch film that has the image of the handwritten records transcript that includes the death of Elisha in 1696 has the births of Elisabeth in 1703 and Jemima on 1705 on https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9BT-TS5G-X?i=447 (right-hand page). There is no hint of an Elisha there.

You really can’t rely on the typed up copies as I have found that if they can’t make it out correctly they donte en list it. Need to look st the original

I'm confused by this comment. The Gary Genealogy that Kenneth cited over 2 years ago is a secondary source, but the record you cited in your other comment as proof for an Elisha born in 1703 is far from an "original" record. It's a minimal index entry on Family Search that has no associated record image. Did you intend to cite a record image that you found somewhere else?

As her biography says, she had a daughter Rebecca, and I created a wikitree profile for Rebecca. I had attached Nathaniel Geary II as the father of Rebecca, but when I tried to attach Anne Rice as her mother, I got a warning saying that Anne's profile was Protected. So could someone attach Rebecca's profile as her daughter? https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Geary-1148
