General Notes: Husband - I. R. Gay

---

When he was about two years old, his parents moved from Herkimer County, New York, to Ripley, Chautauqua County, where he resided until 1858, when he removed to a farm in North East Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania. He removed from there to Washington Hollow in 1876. This was a deep ravine surrounded by an amphitheater, in the eastern part of the county; here in company with his brother-in-law, he ran 2 mills, a saw and grist mill. The site was the oldest in Erie County, the mill having stood there 90 years at that time. He held the office of Road Commissioner; was a member of the Equitable Aid Society of Ripley, New York, A. O. U. W. in Ripley, also Royal Arcanum society.
