(91)(359)
(360) died on 23 Sep 1710 in Nantucket,
Massachusetts.(52) He was born in Devonshire,
England. CONFLICT: "Even so, although William Gayer of Nantucket and Governor
Sir John Gayer of Bombay really were brothers, they were not the sons and grandsons
of prominent Plymouth merchants or scions of Cornish gentry in St. Keverne, or
descendants of the noble Courtenays or remote offspring of King Edward I. Instead,
more probably they were the sons and grandsons of the two William Gayers who
are mentioned in the Plymouth town records (*) as stone masons, one in the early
1600s and the other in the 1640s, whose antecedents are quite unknown but which
presumably were quite humble."
